A
Which of the following terms is INCORRECTLY defined? a) Pterophyta - division of vascular seed plants which includes the extinct and extant ferns b) Sepals - modified leaves which comprise the basal-most portion of the anatomy of a flower and which enclose the floral structure prior to blossoming c) Megaspore - haploid cell that undergoes mitotic divisions to become the embryo sac of angiosperms d) Carpel - the angiosperm structure which includes the stigma, style, and ovary e) Anther - the angiosperm structure which contains the microsporangia
A
Which of the following is true concerning flowering plants? a) The gametophyte generation is what we see when looking at a large plant. b) The flower includes sporophyte tissue. c) The sporophyte generation is not photosynthetic. d) The gametophyte generation is dominant. e) The sporophyte generation consists of relatively few cells within the flower.
B
Which of the following structures or tissues is INCORRECTLY paired with a function? a) Endosperm - the food reserves in an angiosperm seed b) Ovule - angiosperm structure which encloses and protects the ovaries c) Tracheid - the primitive water cells of xylem d) Microspores - in seed plants are the haploid cells which undergo mitosis to form the male gametophyte e) Integuments - non-reproductive sporophyte tissue the encases the nucellus (megasporangium) and ultimately form the seed coat
B
Which of the following is true of the pine life cycle? a) Male and female gametophytes are in close proximity during gamete synthesis. b) Cones are homologous to the capsules of moss plants. c) Conifer pollen grains contain male gametophytes. d) The pine tree is a gametophyte. e) Double fertilization is a relatively common phenomenon.
C
Which one of the following is mismatched? a) Microspore - pollen grain b) Triploid nucleus - endosperm c) Angiosperms - double fertilization d) Anther - female reproductive organ e) Ovary - fruit
D
Which of the following is NOT a plant secondary product? a) nectar b) lignin c) rubber d) nicotine e) starch

Which of the following flower parts develops into a seed?
Ovule
Which of the following represents the male gametophyte of an angiosperm?
Pollen
Which of the following most closely represents the male gametophyte of seed-bearing plants?
Pollen grain interior
The sporophyte of mosses depends on the gametophytes for water and nutrition. In seed plants, the reverse is true. From which seed plant sporophyte structure do the immature (unfertilized) gametophytes directly gain water and nutrition?
