Across
- 1. nucleus, creates the pollen tube
- 4. the female reproductive organ in flowering plants
- 5. the cell formed from the joining of the sperm nucleus and the egg nucleus
- 7. haploid generation of a plant that produces male and female gametes that fuse at fertilization to form a diploid sporophyte
- 8. fertilization, process where one sperm fertilizes an egg and another sperm fuses with two polar nuclei
- 10. type of virus lifecycle where the virus actively invades and destroys host cells
- 12. the structure that forms from an ovule
- 14. diploid generation of a plant that produces haploid spores that develop without fertilization into a gametophyte
- 16. a sac that contains female gametes
- 18. part of the stamen that contains cells that undergo meiosis and mitosis to form pollen grains
- 21. a cell with two pairs of homologous chromosomes
- 23. part of the pistil that contains one or more ovules
- 24. the male reproductive organ in flowering plants
Down
- 1. the type of cell formed when the sperm nucleus and the two polar nuclei join together
- 2. type of virus lifecycle where the virus uses a host to replicate its DNA but doesn't immediately destroy the host cell
- 3. nuclei, the two nuclei inside one of the 8 cells produced from the megaspore
- 6. part of the pistil that is located at the tip of the pistil and is the place where pollination takes place
- 9. the haploid female gametophyte that will undergo mitosis to produce 8 haploid cells within the embryo sac
- 11. nucleus, creates two sperm cells after undergoing mitosis
- 12. part of the pistil that connects the stigma to the ovary
- 13. the structure that forms from an ovary
- 15. a grain that contains two haploid cells
- 17. a cell with half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell
- 19. part of the stamen that supports the anther
- 20. produced from specialized cells in the anther that undergo meiosis, will undergo mitosis to form a tube cell/nucleus and a generative cell/nucleus
- 22. the food supply for the plant embryo
