Summary Introduction
Introduction:
A flower is a reproductive structure found in the flowering plants and is mainly responsible for reproduction. It comprises four main parts: petals, stamen, anther, and pistil. These parts play various roles during and after fertilization. These parts are broadly categorized as accessory parts and reproductive parts. This categorization is based on the role played by the part of the flower.

- Theophrastus of Lesbos, Aristotle’s successor as head of the Lyceum, improved upon Aristotle’s botany by classifying all dicotyledons as flowering plants with: two seed-leaves in the embryo, branching leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5 one seed-leaf in the embryo, branching leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5 one seed-leaf in the embryo, parallel leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 3 or 6 two seed-leaves in the embryo, parallel leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 3 or 6 two seed-leaves in the embryo, branching leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 3 or 6arrow_forwardTheophrastus of Lesbos, Aristotle’s successor as head of the Lyceum, improved upon Aristotle’s botany by classifying all monocotyledons as flowering plants with: two seed-leaves in the embryo, branching leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5 one seed-leaf in the embryo, branching leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5 one seed-leaf in the embryo, parallel leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 3 or 6 two seed-leaves in the embryo, parallel leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 3 or 6 two seed-leaves in the embryo, branching leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 3 or 6arrow_forwardWhich of these is a feature not present in seedless plants that have contributed to the success of seed plants on land? a. Seeds have four layers of protective tissue, the seed coat, that improve survival by providing more protection from environmental stresses. b. The reduced gametophytes of seed plants are nurtured by sporophytes and protected from stress, such as drought conditions and UV radiation. c. Seed germination is solely mediated by water during episodes of heavy rain. d. Pollen grains, with walls containing sporopollenin, deter herbivores.
