Across
- 3. true flowering plants
- 4. contains the stigma, style and ovary (female flower parts)
- 5. acid promotes senescence of leaves and fruit, is involved in bud & seed dormancy, helps with stomatal opening and closing, signals plants of physiological stress, and protects plants from environmental conditions
- 10. Development of seedless fruit
- 11. division of the nucleus to produce two daughter nuclei containing identical sets of chromosomes
- 12. produced in the shoot apex, involved in geotropism/gravitropism, phototropism, cell division, and enlargement
- 13. Fruit that continue to ripen after harvesting
- 15. division of the nucleus into four cells with half the chromosome number of the original cell
- 17. programmed physiological process in which prolonged cold exposure provides competency to flower in plants
- 18. Chemical which ripens fruit
Down
- 1. form of reproduction which results in progeny that is genetically identical to the parent
- 2. found in monocot flowers, where the sepals and petals are similar and fused at the base
- 6. outermost appendages of the flower, modified leaves, enclose to protect the flower at bud stage, collectively known as the calyx
- 7. Development of seeds with no fusion of the gametes/without fertilisation
- 8. contains the anther and filament (male flower parts)
- 9. involved in cell division, inhibit senescence (death), produced in root tips, high concentration in fruits and seeds
- 10. plants response to day length
- 14. form of reproduction which results in progeny that are genetically diverse
- 16. can be bound or free, cell division and elongation in internodes, dormancy break in seeds and buds, balance between juvenile and adult forms, onset of flowering in place of vernalisation.
