Question

In plants, the development of these entities progresses through globular, heart, torpedo, and maturation stages. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name these entities formed from the fertilization of an ovule (“AW-vee-yule”). In mammals, these entities name a process in which a zygote develops into a fetus.
ANSWER: embryos [accept embryonic development or embryogenesis; prompt on seeds with “what kind of developmental entities are seeds?”]
[10m] Along with the shoot meristem, these structures begin to form during the heart stage of plant embryogenesis. Whether these structures expand above the soil surface determines if one process occurs epigeally (“EH-pee-jee-ah-lee”) or hypogeally (“HIGH-poh-jee-ah-lee”).
ANSWER: hypocotyls [accept seed leaves; accept embryonic leaves; reject “leaf” or “leaves”]
[10h] The radial patterning of this tissue during plant embryogenesis is maintained by the SHR and SCARECROW genes. This kind of tissue refers to any plant tissue not involved in forming the epidermis or plant vasculature.
ANSWER: ground tissue [accept ground meristem; prompt on cortex; prompt on middle cortex; prompt on endodermis; anti-prompt on parenchyma or collenchyma or sclerenchyma]
