Question
Chapter 38.1, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: Evolution of long styles in most of the flowering plants.
Concept introduction: Style is a long, slender stalk found within the flower that connects the stigma and ovary. Stigma is a sticky platform at the top of the style where pollen are deposited and ovary is present at the bottom of stigma which contains the egg cells and support the cells that is required for reproduction.

Students have asked these similar questions
In their experiments with the flowers of Begonia involucrate, Agren and Schemske (1991) observed that there was a
trade-off between what two characteristics?
Size of flower and number of flowers on inflorescence
Size of flower and pollination
Annual versus perennial reproduction
O Time and expense to grow the pollen tube versus cost of maintaining the flower on the tree
And some plants as stigma becomes receptive to Polin able to facilitate a pollen tube at a different time from when the anthers ripen. How would this affect the plant reproductive strategy why would this increase diversity in the plants offspring?
Suppose a flower had normal expression of genes A and Cand expression of gene B in all four whorls. Based on the ABChypothesis, what would be the structure of that flower, startingat the outermost whorl?(A) carpel-petal-petal-carpel(B) petal-petal-stamen-stamen(C) sepal-carpel-carpel-sepal(D) sepal-sepal-carpel-carpel

- what are the flaws ? Plants reproduce in a pattern known as alternation of generations. A haploid gametophyte produces gametes through mitosis. The gametes fuse to form a zygote, which then grows into a diploid sporophyte. The sporophyte produces spores through meiosis, which then grow into a gametophyte and start the process over. Flowers are how angiosperms reproduce. A whorl of sepals (corolla) is at the base of the flower, followed by a whorl of petals (calyx). Inside the flower is a female organ known as a carpel and it is made of a stigma, style, and ovary. The male organ is the stamen and it is made of an anther and filament. Pollen being transferred to the style is known as pollination. Once the pollen travels down the style and reaches the egg, fertilization happens when sperm meets egg. Then, the fertilized egg and surrounding tissue develops into a seed. A seed is protected by a seed coat and contains endosperm and an embryo. The endosperm grows into a new plant while…arrow_forwardINTERPRET DATA Flower parts are arranged in four concentric circles: sepals, petals, stamens, and carpel. According to the ABC model of floral organ development in Arabidopsis, class A genes are needed to specify sepals, the A and B genes to specify petals, the B and C genes to specify stamens, and class C genes to specify the carpel. If a mutation occurs in one of the B genes, rendering it inactive, what will the resulting flowers consist of?arrow_forwardCompare the Venn diagram of sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction in plants.

- During double fertilization, one sperm will unite with the egg, forming a zygote. As mentioned in the lecture, a generative cell divides to form two sperm. How is the second sperm used during the process of double fertilization? 00 00 It fertilizes the flower by landing directly on the stigma, which is the sticky surface found above a flower's style and ovary. This depends on the type of plant. Land plants will allocate the sperm that is not united with the egg to the formation of different tissues through mitosis and cytokinesis. It forms a triploid cell by fusing with polar nuclei. This cell then divides and develops endosperm tissue. Since it was not the sperm to fuse with the polar nuclei, the sperm cell will degenerate.arrow_forwardneed asap thank uarrow_forwardEXPERIMENT 4: INDUCTION OF CALLUS SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS OF HAPLOID PLANTS Objective: To prepare anther as a source of explant To induce callus somatic embryogenesis of haploid plants Procedure: Cut off the buds and sort them into 3 developmental stages based on length of buds Surface sterilize the buds in 70% ethanol for 2-3 minutes, making sure the entire bud is immersed in the alcohol. Drain off excess alcohol from the buds and aseptically excise the anthers from each bud. Remove the filaments and culture the anther on one of the agar media provided. Label the stage of development of the bud on each petri dish as the anthers are cultured. Seal the Petri dishes with parafilm. Incubate in the dark at 26 to 28ºC for 4 to 8 weeks or until small plants can be seen growing out of the anthers. Then transfer to diffuse light. Record the results of the experiment in table form and submit the report. Observation: The culture was contaminated after 8 weeks of incubation…arrow_forward
