Alternation of generations • The basic life cycle pattern for most plants • Sporophyte stage • Diploid, asexual, produces spores • Gametophyte stage • Haploid, sexual, produces gametes
Vegetation Propagation • A type of asexual reproduction where a new plant is produced from existing plant organs or parts • Ex: plant “cuttings”

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
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

Fruit formation • The mature ovary containing seeds • Modified for seed dispersal

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)
Seed (containing embryo plant) to mature plant, capable of photosynthesis
