Across
  1. 2. the structure which develops from the ovule after fertilization.
  2. 3. develops from a single carpel and opens along one suture.
  3. 6. fruit- develops from several ovaries.
  4. 9. the part of the embryo above the point of attachment of the cotyledons.
  5. 11. seeds- endosperm is present for food storage.
  6. 12. derived from 2 carpels which split when mature, along the midline into 2 one-seeded indehiscent halves.
  7. 14. derives from a superior ovary consisting of 2 locules which at maturity seperates into three portions with the seeds attached to the central, persistent portion.
  8. 15. it is also one-seeded, but the pericarp and seed coat are firmly united.
  9. 16. Fruit- develops from one ovary.
  10. 18. may be one-seeded or two-seeded and has a wing-like outgrowth of the ovary wall.
  11. 20. the fruit that develops without fertilization.
  12. 21. derives from an ovary with 2 or more united carpels, each carpel producing few to many seeds and splits in various ways.
  13. 25. is the beginning of the growth of a seed, spore, bud, or other structures
  14. 27. arises from a single carpel which at maturity splits along two sutures.
  15. 28. coats- made up of the testa derived from the outer integument and the tegmen from the inner integument.
  16. 29. seeds and fruits dispersed by wind are generally light and may have some structural adaptations like wings and plumes.
Down
  1. 1. commonly called "seeds" but when the pericarp is broken, the seeds within is seen to be attached to the ovary wall at one point.
  2. 4. derives from the primary endosperm cell and contains the stored food of the seed.
  3. 5. develops from several ovaries of a compact inflorescence
  4. 7. the transfer of fruits and seeds to distant places.
  5. 8. type of a berry with a thick, leathery rind with numerous glands which constitute the exocarp and mesocarp and a thick juicy portion of several wedge-shaped locules which are outgrowths from the endocarp.
  6. 10. develops from several ovaries of a single flower
  7. 11. seeds of many fruits pass through the digestive tract without being digested and are still viable when egested.
  8. 13. its growing tip is the radical which gives rise to the primary root.
  9. 17. one-seeded fruit with a hard or stony pericarp commonly called the "shell"
  10. 19. is the ripened ovary of the flower
  11. 22. the young plant inside the seed.
  12. 23. fruits dispersed by water are buoyant.
  13. 24. one or two-seed leaves.
  14. 26. derived from a compound ovary. Usually many seeds are embedded in a fleshy part which is both endocarp and mesocarp.
