fruit

Question 1

fruit function

Answer 1

above-ground generative organ
protection of seeds
distribution of seed

Question 2

fruit creation

Answer 2

created from ovary of pistil after fertilization of egg cell (stigma and style dry up)

Question 3

pollination

Answer 3

transfer of pollen grain to egg cell - directly to egg cell by gymnosperms, on the stigma of pistil by angiosperms - when the pollen grain gets on stigma, it will produce a pollen tube, pollen tube grows down through the style until it reaches the egg cell

Question 4

fertilization

Answer 4

fusion of male and female reproductive cell, resulting in a seed

Question 5

true/false fruits

Answer 5

true - created only from ovary
false - created from another parts of flower or from an inflorescence

Question 6

division of true fruits

Answer 6

a. dry 1. indehiscent - not opening spontaneously when mature - 1 seed
2. dehiscent - opening spontaneously when matureto release seeds - contain more seeds
b. fleshy

Question 7

division of false fruits

Answer 7

aggregate fruit - one flower contains several ovaries, each of which develops into a small fruit, joined tightly together to make a larger fruit

multiple fruit - several flowers, each with an ovary, develop into small fruits that are clustered or fused together into a larger fruit

Question 8

parthenocarpy

Answer 8

production of fruit without fertilization of ovules, the fruit is therefore seedless

Question 9

importance of fruits

Answer 9
