)
[
Hint
]
the production of haploid gametes by meiosis and the production of diploid spores by mitosis
a haploid gametophyte generation and a haploid sporophyte generation
a haploid gametophyte generation and a diploid sporophyte generation
a flower-producing generation and a leaf-producing generation
the production of bisexual and unisexual flowers
2 .
Meiosis will produce microspores in the _____. (Concept 38.1
)
[
Hint
]
receptacle
sepal
petal
anther
ovary
3 .
Which association below is correct? (Concept 38.1
)
[
Hint
]
anther ... egg production
bisexual flowers ... dioecious
unisexual flowers ... dioecious
dioecious ... separate female and male plants
monoecious ... bisexual flowers
4 .
Self-incompatibility _____. (Concept 38.1
)
[
Hint
]
works the same way in all plants
does not have potential agricultural applications
is based on the same mechanism of transplant rejection seen in animals
maintains variation
is the rejection of a graft by a plant
5 .
In angiosperms, each pollen grain produces two sperm. What do these sperm do? (Concept 38.2
)
[
Hint
]
Each one fertilizes a separate egg cell.
One fertilizes an egg, and the other fertilizes the fruit.
One fertilizes an egg, and the other is kept in reserve.
Both sperm fertilize a single egg cell.
One fertilizes an egg, and the other combines with a cell that develops into stored food.
6 .
The scutellum _____. (Concept 38.2
)
[
Hint
]
is a specialized cotyledon found in certain monocots
develops into the seed coat
presents a barrier to self-fertilization
is a specialized cotyledon found in eudicots
is the embryonic root
7 .
The germination of seeds _____. (Concept 38.2
)
[
Hint
]
depends on the growth of the embryo rupturing the seed
depends on imbibition
depends on maturation of the embryo
occurs after a certain species-specific period of time
results in the cotyledon being the first structure to emerge from the seed
8 .
Which of the following is
not
a method of vegetative reproduction? (Concept 38.3
)
[
Hint
]
apomixes
fertilization
stump sprouts
cuttings
fragmentation
9 .

)
[
Hint
]
stock ... scion

not
a concern related to the debate over plant biotechnology? (Concept 38.4
)
[
Hint
]
human health issues (such as allergies) associated with transgenic crops
novel organisms will be introduced into the biosphere
effects on nontarget organisms, such as insects that feed on nearby plants
Bt
maize contains high levels of the cancer-causing toxin fumonisin
introduced genes leading to the creation of "superweeds"
