The above picture is a dicot.
Humans have claimed to live in the age of enlightenment and the age of technology. Sorry guys the only age we have actually is the age of the angiosperm. The angiosperms are the flowering plants. The angiosperm has basically taking over the plant kingdom because of the climate and 2 adaptations:
1. Animal pollination- Animals, mostly insects, pollinate the plants
2. Seed Dispersal- Animals, being with birds, eat the fruit then poop the seeds out.Fruit, as we’ve known since 7th grade, is a mature ovary in which fertilization and development has occurred.
– are heteroporus and thus make megaspores and microspores
– have their gametophytes protected in the ovules of the flower.
– spend a majority of their time in 2n diploid sporophytic generation
Lastly Angiosperms are divided into 2 classes
1.Monocotyledonae-Monocot
2.Dicotyledone-Dicot
Do how do you which is which?
Monocots | Dicots |
---|---|
Flower parts in multiples of 3 | Flower parts in multiples of 5 |
Leaf veins run in parallel and similar size | Leaf veins are branched with a central vein |
Vascular bundles are scattered | Vascular bundles are circular |
Seeds have 1 seed leaf | Seeds have 2 seed leaves |
