What is a microspore? ✔✔gametophyte individual that produces only sperm
Where are megaspores produced? ✔✔the archegonium
Where are microspores produced? ✔✔the antheridium
True or false: seedless vascular plants possess a xylem and phloem ✔✔True
What are microphylls? ✔✔leaves with a single vein
What are megaphylls? ✔✔leaves with a highly branched vascular system
What are the four phylums in seedless vascular plants? ✔✔Phylum Lycophyta (Club Mosses), Phylum Psilophyta (Whisk Ferns), Phylum Sphenophyta ( Horsetails), and Phylum Pterophyta (Ferns)

What are the characteristics of Monocots? ✔✔Floral parts in multiple of three, the leaves are long blades with parallel veins, in the stems the vascular bundles are scattered, and have a fibrous root system
What are the characteristics of Dicots? ✔✔Florals parts in multiples of 4 or 5, broad to narrow leaves with nettled veins, vascular bundles in stems are arranged in a circle, and have a tap root system
In the Angiosperm life cycle how is the tube cell produced? ✔✔When a microspore pollen grain divides into two cells and and one of the cells engulfs the other. The cell that does the engulfing becomes the tube cell.
