Across
3. Production of plant clones by placing plant tissue on culture medium
4. Specialized leaves that form on the swollen tip of the floral branch
7. Green, dominant stage in moss plant’s life cycle
10. Female reproductive structure in plants that makes eggs
14. Whorl made up of the male reproductive structures
15. Mature ovary with seeds
18. Plant that can grow from leaf cuttings
19. Outer whorl of flower parts that may appear green and leaf-shaped
23. Production of one type of spore as in moss and ferns
24. A sugar solution made by plants to attract insect pollinators
25. Larger, female spore
28. Producing two types of spores such as gymnosperms
30. Transfer of pollen to female ovules containing eggs
31. Grows from pollen grains that land on the female part of the plant and which sperm
travel down
