Core Skill: Connections Look back to Figure 32.14 to see a more detailed illustration of the flowering plant life cycle. How can you recognize and where can you find the gametophyte generation of a flowering plant?
Figure 32.14 The life cycle of a flowering plant, illustrated by the genus Polygonum. Flowering plant life cycles differ in length and in the number of cells and nuclei occurring in the female gametophyte, with the seven cells and eight nuclei of Polygonum being common.

- Examine the shoot system of a mature plant (Coleus blumei). Identify the shoot tip, nodes, internodes, leaves, and axillary buds. Each unit of stem that consists of a leaf, axillary bud and internode is referred to as a phytomere. Note that axillary buds always occur above a leaf. Axillary buds give rise to branch shoots. Thus, branching in a shoot system is exogenous (of external origin). How does this compare to branching in a root system?arrow_forwardINSTRUCTION: Answer the question in simple words and that is easy to comprehend.

Floral parts typically become part of the seed and/or the fruit. 1. Obtain a germinated bean and use p. 145 of the atlas as a guide. The pod that housed the bean is the fruit of the bean plant. The bean is the seed of the plant. 2. The papery outer red covering of the bean is the seed coat, which developed from the integuments of the ovule. g eno le al boez 3.

- READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS: Bryophytes in which the gametophytes are "leafy" in appearance and the sporophytes grow conspicuously from the tips of the gametophyte plants. STEP 1: Examine the mass of moss plants and then select one or two individual gametophyte plants and note the leaf-like (not true leaves because they lack conducting tissue) structures which are arranged around a central, vertical "stem-like" stalk and root-like rhizoids which anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients. STEP: The sex organs are in the tips of the plants and must be seen with the microscope. Study a slide of a vertical section through head of a mate plant and note the many antheridia. STEP 3: Examine a slide through a vertical section of a female plant. Note the many upright archegonia each on a tall stalk and each with a swollen base or venter containing an egg and an elongate neck. Note the filamentous paraphyses between the archegonia.
