Summary Introduction
To determine: The value of the research on genes that controls seed germination to the society.
Concept introduction: Flower is a reproductive part of a modified thick shoot of an angiosperm plant. The flowering plants generate offspring through a process called reproduction. The reproduction in plants can be sexual or asexual. Sexual reproduction is a bi-parental process (both male and female gametes are involved), whereas asexual reproduction is a uni-parental process (only one parent plant is involved).

- Which option is TRUE regarding endosperm in monocots? Endosperm consists mainly of glucose and water. Endosperm matures into a fruit. Endosperm is consumed by the embryo as the seed develops. Endosperm is largely unused as the seed develops. Endosperm is transferred to the cotyledons.arrow_forwardDouble fertilization is important to the reproductive process of an angiosperm because it produces: -a reaction that keeps the plant from dying. -nutrition for the seed. -both the zygote and the endosperm. -a double portion of endosperm. -None of these choices are true.arrow_forwardThe term angiosperm refers to -the presence of endosperm. -the enclosure of the seeds within a fruit. -the presence of pollen. -the narrow sperm of angiosperms. -the branching of vascular veins.arrow_forward
