Classifying Plants

3. germinates in the fall, the immature plant overwinters as a compact rosette. Once the plant has received a sufficient period of cold treatment, it bolts, flowers then develop, seeds are set, and the plant dies.
5. are those with tissues specialized for conducting materials.
10. Sometimes cultivated plants within a species show a significant difference from other plants in the species and are termed ____
13. At the top of the hierarchy is the
15. a collection of pressed, dried, and labeled plants that serves as a reference library of plants
16. Trees that drop their leaves in the winter.
17. are gymnosperms that produce cones
18. which are vascular plants that reproduce by spores rather than seed.
20. is composed of organisms with characteristics that distinguish them from other groups in a genus.
21. the study of the internal and external appearance of an organism.
23. a seed leaf that stores food in the form of starch and protein for use by the embryo

9. Conifers that hold their leaves all year round
11. has distinguishing characteristics from the other plants in the species but does not transfer those characteristics to its offspring through sexual reproduction.
12. Plants that complete their life cycle within one year or in one growing season
14. represents closely related organisms comprised of one or more species grouped together
19. are plants that germinate in the spring, produce leaves, flowers, and seed before dying during the summer or fall
22. plants with flowers.
25. The Branch of biology that deals with identifying and naming organisms is
26. are plants with two cotyledons in their seeds.
27. names used in everyday speech
