| seeds | the primary means of reproduction & dispersal in gymnosperms & angiosperms |
| gynmosperms | vascular plants that produce seeds, but do not have flowers |
| pollen | immature male gametophyte of seed plants that produces sperm & is capable of fertilization |
| conifers | the largest phylum of gymnosperm |
| monoecious | have male & female reproductive parts in different flowers or cones on the same plant |
| cycads | palm or fernlike gymnosperms; relatively few living members |
| dioecious | have male & female reproductive structures on different plants |
| angiosperm | flowering vascular plants |
| fruit | a mature, ripened ovary in flowering plants |
| sepal | outermost part of a flower, protects the developing bud |
| petal | whorl of colors in the interior of a flower, used to draw animals |
| stamen | male reproductive part of a flower; includes the filament & anther |
| carpel | female reproductive part of a flower; includes the stigma, style, & ovary. AKA: pistil |
| double fertilization | results in the formation of a diploid zygote & a triploid endosperm |
| endosperm | 3n nutritive tissue developed during some portion of an angiosperm life cycle |
| monocot | herbaceous plants with long, narrow leaves (veins are parallel) & flower parts usually occur in multiples of 3 |
| cotyledon | an embryonic seed leaf |
| dicot | herbaceous or woody plant, broad leaves (netted veins), & flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5 |
