Explanation:
1. Dichogamy is a type of flowering in which the staminate (male) and pistillate (female) flowers are borne on separate plants.
2. Heterostyly is a type of herkogamy, or sexual dimorphism, in which the pistils and stamens are positioned differently on the plant. This ensures that pollen must be transferred between different plants in order to fertilize the ovules.
3. A microspore is the immediate product of male meiosis in an angiosperm. This small, haploid cell will go on to develop into a pollen grain.
4. Bryophytes are a gathering of plants that incorporates greeneries, liverworts, and hornworts. They are typically small, nonvascular plants that grow close to the ground. Bryophytes are distinguished from other plants by their dominant gametophyte generation. This means that the dominant plant body is the gametophyte, which is the haploid phase in the plant life cycle. The gametophyte produces the gametes, which fuse to form the zygote. The zygote then develops into the sporophyte, which is the diploid phase. The sporophyte produces spores, which give rise to new gametophytes.
5. Gymnosperms are a type of seed plant that produces seeds that are not enclosed in an ovary. These plants incorporate conifers, cycads, and ginkgos.
6. The class of floral organ mutants that results in a Carpel-Stamen-Stamen-Carpel arrangement (beginning with whorl 1) is C-Class.
7. A plant that flowers only if the length of uninterrupted darkness is greater than the critical photoperiod.
8. The FLC gene encodes a protein that acts as a repressor of flowering. In order for plants to flower, the FLC protein must be inhibited.
