1. Unit 7Chapter 24Reproduction in Plants
2. Alternation of generations The basic life cycle pattern for most plants
Sporophyte stage
Diploid, asexual,
produces spores
Gametophyte stage
Haploid, sexual,
produces gametes
3. Vegetation Propagation A type of asexual reproduction where a new plant is produced from existing plant organs or parts
Ex: plant cuttings
4. Life cycle of Mosses
5. Moss life cycle
6. Life cycle of Ferns
7. Life cycle of Conifers
8. Gymnosperm life cycle
9. Flower structure Petals
Colorful, to attract pollinators
Sepals
Leaflike, to protect inner organs
Stamen (male organ)
Contains anther, produces pollen
Pistil (female organ)
Contains ovary, produces eggs
10. Life cycle of a flowering plant Double fertilization
One sperm joins the egg, while the other joins the central cell, forming the endosperm
Endosperm
Food storage tissue that supports development of growing embryo
11. Double fertilization
12. Fruit formation The mature ovary containing seeds
Modified for seed dispersal
13. Fruit structure
14. Seed germination The beginning of the development of a new plant after a period of inactivity, called dormancy
First to appear is the radicle (embryonic root) followed by the hypocotyl (embryonic stem)
