Summary Introduction

To explain: Label the parts of the flowering plant.

Introduction: Plants are eukaryotic organism and belong to the Plantae kingdom. Plants are autotrophs and can generate their own food by the process of photosynthesis. A plant that generates seeds, flowers, and fruits are called flowering plant and is also referred as an angiosperm. It is differentiated from other plants by fruits and flowers. A shoot system and root system are the features of flowering plants.

The organs of plants perform a particular role and it is composed of numerous tissue types. Stems, leaves, and roots are the vascular plant organ. The underground root system of vascular plants attain minerals and water from the soil. An aerial shoot system of leaves and stems is used for absorbing carbon dioxide and light for the process of photosynthesis.

The roots involved in several functions include food storage, absorption, and anchorage. From the primary root, the seed emerges and branches to make a lateral root. Generally, the taproot system is present in tail. The plant anchors by one deep main taproot and it may also involve in nutrient storage.

Alternating nodes are present in the stem. Node is the point where leaves are joined. Internodes are the segment between nodes. The apical bud is the apex of the shoot and it is found at the tip. At the upper angle between the stem and a leaf, the axillary buds are present. It may develop into flowers or lateral branches.

In most plants, the major organ of photosynthesis is leaves. Generally, the leaves consist of stalk or petiole and flattened blade. The petioles are absent in many monocots. The leaves of monocot generally have parallel major veins. Leaves may be compound or simple. Modified leaves have several functions that include reproduction, support, storage, and protection.

*Example 2: Tracing the path of an autosomal dominant trait Trait: Neurofibromatosis Forms of the trait: The dominant form is neurofibromatosis, caused by the production of an abnormal form of the protein neurofibromin. Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.
