Flowers and reproduction - Coggle Diagram

- - - - A diploid (having two sets of chromosomes) plant body grows and eventually produces spores through meiosis. These spores divide mitotically to produce haploid (having a single set of chromosomes) gamete-producing bodies called gametophytes.
      - The function of the sporophyte is to create spores, The spores, in turn, produce the gametophytes that give rise to the male and female gametes through the process of meiosis. Meiosis is the type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in half.
    - - Small sperm cell that swims
    - - The larger, immobile gamete ( does not swim to egg)
    - - Male
    - - Female
  - - - a small stalk bearing an individual flower in an inflorescence.
    - - vegetative tissues near the end of reproductive stems that are situated below or encase the reproductive organs.
    - - the stamens of a flower collectively.
    - - a flower missing any of its parts in its natural form,. petals, sepals, stamens or pistils
    - - The sepals of a flower, typically forming a whorl that encloses the petals and forms a protective layer around a flower in bud.
    - - the petals of a flower, typically forming a whorl within the sepals and enclosing the reproductive organs.
    - - the outer part of a flower, consisting of the calyx (sepals) and corolla (petals).
    - - the male fertilizing organ of a flower, typically consisting of a pollen-containing anther and a filament.
    - - the part of a stamen that contains the pollen.
  - - - fusion of the cytoplasm of two gametes during sexual reporduction
    - - is the final step in the process of fusing together two haploid eukaryotic cells, and refers specifically to the fusion of the two nuclei
    - - tissue produced inside the seeds of most of the flowering plants following fertilization.
    - - the joining of a female gametophyte (megagametophyte, also called the embryo sac) with two male gametes The pollen tube proceeds to release the two sperm in the megagametophyte
    - - tissue that surrounds and nourishes the embryo in the seeds of angiosperms
    - - cellular structure, developed along with the embryo in seed-bearing plants, that bears the embryo at its apex and by elongation carries the embryo to its food source.
    - - he embryo within the seed of a plant
  - - - the outer layer of a pericarp when it consists of two dissimilar layers.
    - - is the fleshy middle layer of the pericarp of a fruit; it is found between the epicarp and the endocarp
    - - he inner wall of a pericarp which consists of two dissimilar layers.
    - - the tissue that develops from the ovary wall of the flower and surrounds the seed to protect it in environments apart from the parent plant.
- - - - Fruit only containing ovarian tissue
    - - A type of fleshy fruit that includes some other part of the flower in addition to that which is derived from the ovary. Accessory fruits are usually indehiscent. Examples of this type of fruit are apples, figs, and strawberries.
    - - develops from a single ovary containing one or more carpels and may or may not include additional modified accessory floral structures.
    - - consist of several separate carpels of one apocarpous gynoecium raspberries where each unit is a single carpel
    - - consist of the gynoecia of more than one flower and represent a whole inflorescence, such as the fig and pineapple
