Across
  1. 3. type of plant containing both male and female reproductive organs in different flowers
  2. 7. plant generation that is large, diploid, and forms haploid spores
  3. 8. collection of female reproductive parts in flowers
  4. 12. surrounds and protects seeds within, and can provide nutrition to animals
  5. 14. female reproductive part that pollen tube grows through
  6. 19. (3n) three complete sets of chromosomes
  7. 20. modified underground shoots that form new plants asexually
  8. 21. this is low in plants produced asexually, as a result of reduced genetic diversity
  9. 24. the first thing that the seed takes up during germination
  10. 27. type of plant where male reproductive organs are present on different plants
  11. 28. site of female reproductive parts where pollination happens
  12. 29. embryonic leaves
  13. 32. one advantage to asexual reproduction
  14. 33. embryonic root
Down
  1. 1. (2n) forms as the result of fusion between the egg and sperm
  2. 2. (n) one complete set of chromosomes
  3. 4. part of the flower that protects the young flower bud and can be photosynthetic
  4. 5. embryonic stem
  5. 6. type of cell division that occurs in diploid cells, but gives rise to haploid cells that are genetically distinct from the original cell
  6. 9. male reproductive part that produces pollen grains
  7. 10. type of fertilization that occurs in flowering plants
  8. 11. groups of dividing cells that give rise to different tissue types in plants
  9. 13. female reproductive organs
  10. 15. (2n) two complete sets of chromosomes
  11. 16. showy parts of the flower that can help attract pollinators
  12. 17. female reproductive part that contains the egg and will develop into fruit
  13. 18. collection of male reproductive parts in flowers
  14. 22. type of flower containing both male and female reproductive organs
  15. 23. type of cell division that occurs during asexual reproduction, where the daughter cells are genetically identical to the original cell
  16. 25. cell formed by the first division after fertilization; this cell will give rise to the entire embryo
  17. 26. plant generation that is small, haploid, and forms gametes
  18. 30. (3n) forms as the result of fusion between a sperm and 2 polar body nuclei, provides nutrients to the embryo
  19. 31. cell formed by the first division after fertilization; this cell will give rise to the the suspensor, allowing the parent plant to provide nutrition to the embryo
