8. gametophyte

Question 9

begin to grow and put out shoots after a period of dormancy.

Question 10

The netlike pattern of branching of veins on a leaf blade. Also known as reticulate venation; characteristic of most dicot leaves.

10. net venation

Question 11

a female reproductive organ in which ova or eggs are produced, present in humans and other vertebrates as a pair.

Accepted Answer

11. ovary

Question 12

Arrangement of leaf vascular bundles in parallel along the long axis of a leaf; characteristic of monocot flowering plants

12. parallel venation

Question 13

the vascular tissue in plants that conducts sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves.

Accepted Answer

13. phloem

Question 14

a continuously growing horizontal underground stem that puts out lateral shoots and adventitious roots at intervals.

Accepted Answer

14. rhizome

Question 15

a flowering plant's unit of reproduction, capable of developing into another such plant.

Accepted Answer

15. seed

Question 16

a young plant, esp. one raised from seed and not from a cutting.

Accepted Answer

17. spore
