vegetative propagation that involve
different parts of a plant.
A. Yes

these gametes form as a result of
mitosis or meiosis?
A. Rhizomes; Corms; Root & stem
tubers; Bulbs
A. Mitosis

vegetative propagation that are
used for flowering plants.
A. Cuttings; Layering; Grafting;
Budding; Tissue culturing
Q. What is the function of the petal?
A. Attraction of insects
Q. Suggest one advantage of
artificial propagation.
Q. State a role of the sepal.
A. Protection; Photosynthesis
Q. What is the role of the stigma?

A. Fast; Preserves desirable
features; Cheap; More reliable
Q. Give two differences between
vegetative propagation and
propagation involving seeds.
A. No gametes (one parent);
Identical plants; Rapid production;
No outside agent
Q. What term is used for the type of
asexual reproduction that produces
a daughter plant by runners?
A. Vegetative propagation
Q. Would you expect a daughter
plant produced by a runner to be
haploid or diploid?
A. Carpel; Ovary
Q. Give two ways in which the
petals may be adapted for their
function.
A. Colour; Scent; Size; Shape
Q. Describe the development of
pollen grains from microspore
mother cells.
A. Meiosis, 4 haploid microspores,
divides by mitosis, tube and
generative nucleus, pollen grain
matures
Q. What happens to the two polar
nuclei?
A. Fuse with male gamete nucleus
to form triploid endosperm
nucleus
A. Diploid
Q. Name the two main types of
reproduction.
Q. State what happens to the ovule
after fertilisation.
A. Becomes the seed
A. Sexual & Asexual
Q. What is the role of the stigma?
Q. Suggest one disadvantage of
artificial propagation.

A. Lack of variation; Diseases
inherited
A. Receives pollen
Q. State a role of the ovary.
Q. State a role of the anther.
A. Produces (contains) ovule or
embryo sac or female gametes;
Becomes fruit; Site of fertilisation
Q. Describe the fate of the two male
gamete nuclei.
A. Pollen production, storage and
release
Q. True or False. Endosperm is a
food reserve in some seeds.
