Genetics at Work (Yellow)

Watch this video to Review the Parts of a Flower and Pollination. Label the Flower Anatomy Use the following words to label the anatomy of the flower below. (Number 11 - sepal) anther stem pistil style petal ovary filament stigma stamen sepal ovule petal stigma style ovary ovule pistil anther filament stamen sepal stem What are the Male and Female Parts of a Flower? Sort the parts of the Flower as Male (Stamen) or Female (Pistil). Male Structures that belong to the Stamen anther filament Female Structures that belong to the Pistil stigma style ovary ovule Match the Flower Part to its Function. Filament Long stalk that holds up the anther Ovule Female sex cell of flower Pollen Male sex cell of the flower Style Long stalk that holds up the stigma Petals Structures to attract pollinators, usually colorful Stigma Sticky to catch the pollen Anther Produces the pollen Ovary Produces the egg cells and becomes a fruit Gregor Mendel is known as the "Father of Genetics". Choose all of the facts about Gregor Mendel's life that are true. He was a monk in the 1800's. He lived in Australia on a farm. He studied heredity of pea plants for 8 years. He had a garden at the monastery where he worked. What are the TWO kinds of pollination? Budding Self Flowering Cross Mendel observed several traits during his experiments at once so he could get the research done faster. True False What does heredity mean? The passing of traits through generations. The study of genetics. The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma. The uniting of the egg and sperm cells. Fertilization is when the pollen lands on the stigma of another plant. True False Cross-pollination involves 2 plants. True False For Mendel's first experiment he crossed a purebred tall pea plant with a purebred short pea plant. Which of the following show the results he got? 3 offspring were tall, while 1 was short All 4 offspring were short All 4 offspring were tall 3 offspring were short, while 1 was tall Which branch of science is the study of heredity? Heredity Mendelian Biology Genetics Agriculture Pollen contains the male sex cells called _ cells. sperm egg stamen pistil A purebred organism is one that will always produce the same traits in their offspring. True False Fill in the blanks to complete the paragraph about plant reproduction. Plants need to reproduce to keep their species in existence. Reproduction occurs in the flowers of plants. Flowers attract a pollinator such as a bee with their colorful petals. The pollinator helps by bringing the pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower. The pollen then grows a pollen tube through the style into the ovary. Sperm cells swim down the pollen tube to unite with the egg cells. This is called fertilization and a seed will be formed.
