A model that shows the two major lineages of angiosperms and to explain why nearly three-quarters of flowering species are eudicots. Introduction: During the evolution of angiosperms, two complete genome duplication events were seen. Eudicots are a subset of angiosperms that bear seeds and produce flowers. Eudicots are found in a variety of habitats.

ACTIVITY &8: Fruit and seed anatomy (Student dissection or demonstration) The fate of the parts of the flower can differ among angiosperms. Floral parts typically become part of the seed and/or the fruit. 1. Obtain a germinated bean and use p. 145 of the atlas as a guide. The pod that housed the bean is the fruit of the bean plant. The bean is the seed of the plant. 2. The papery outer red covering of the bean is the seed coat, which developed from the integuments of the ovule. g eno le al boez 3. The white structure on the internal region of the bean is the hilum, the site where the seed was attached to the inner walls of the pod. eliunt ynd Vhutem Js 4. Draw and label the exterior of the bean in the space provided. U CLO22-26Cpou 5. Remove the seed coat to expose the pale underlying structure (cotyledon). Gently pry open the bean. How many cotyledons does a bean have? 6. Once the bean is opened, the embryonic sporophyte is revealed. It consists of a "leaf- like" structure called the…

ACTIVITY 9: In angiosperms, fruits play an important role in seed dispersal. Plant biologists recognize different types of fruit, 11 of which are described in the table below. Dried fruits can be further classified as indehiscent (the fruit/pod does not split open when ripe) or dehiscent (fruits/pods split open when mature). 51 Examine the provided examples of fruits. Fruit Type Description Example Category Simple fruits Ovary wall and seed coat are fused, one seed; seed is attached at only one point to the ovary wall Sunflower seeds Achene Ovary wall is thin and fully fused to the seed at all points; one seed.
