Blog Post #7: Anthers and Stigmas and Styles, Oh My: Dissection of a Flower





This image shows the anthers surrounding the stigma on a flower. The anther is the part of the flower where the pollen is produced. The stigma is the part of the flower where pollen germinates. When both the female and male parts are visible in the same flower the flower is thought to be "excellent ".









This photo shows the stamen of the flower. The stamen is the pollen producer. It usually has a slender filament supporting the anther. It's the male reproductive anatomy of the flower, it consists of a stock known as the filament and at the end of the stalk is a part called the anther


This picture shows the female anatomy of a flower known as the carpel The carpel is a structure that produces egg cells and protects a developing baby plant. The three main parts of a carpel are the stigma, style, and ovary.
 This is an image of the flower with the stamens, sepals, petals and the top of the carpel removed, leaving it was just the ovary and ovules. You can see the inside of the ovary and its many ovules.

    When ripe pollen from an anther of the same kind of flower catches on the stigma, each pollen grain sends out a tiny threadlike tube. The tube grows down through the style and pierces one of the ovules in the ovary. This process is called fertilization.

Blog Post #7: Anthers and Stigmas and Styles, Oh My: Dissection of a Flower

This image provided above shows the anthers surrounding around the stigma on a flower. The anther is the part of the flower where the pollen is created. The stigma is the part of the flower where pollen also germinates. When both the female and male parts are visible in the same flower the flower is known to be "excellent". This photo above shows the stamen of the flower, which is the pollen producer. It usually has a slender filament supporting the anther. It's the male reproductive anatomy of the flower, it consists of a stock known as the filament and at the end of the stalk is a part called the anther. Now, this picture above shows the female anatomy of a flower known as the carpel The carpel is a structure that produces egg cells and protects a developing baby plant . The three main parts of a carpel are the style, stigma, and ovary. This is an image of the flower with the stamens, sepals, petals and the top of the carpel removed, leaving it was...

Blog Post #6: How Does Your Garden Grow - Ella Zamudio

Question 1: Our plant has grown quite the length since we've checked up on it. There's a number of reasons causing it to grow.a It begins with mitosis, also referred to as cell division. This is a process in which their job is working with the growth and development in a eukaryotic cell. In mitosis, there's fivae stages. In order, the stages go prophase, interphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. There's also another stage, however it's the finishing product, so it's not usually grouped in with the stages to make it complete. It's name is cytokinesis, this is when the cell splits into two. However, let's go back into the other stages. First, prophase. In prophase, chromosomes become visible, the nucleolus disappears, the mitotic spindle forms, and the nuclear envelope disappears. Chromosomes then become more and more coiled to the point where it can be shown under a microscope. In interphase, cellular organelles double, the DNA ...

Which part (anatomy) or characteristic of the  Brassica oleracea  plants seems to exhibit the most variation (greatest number of different forms)? Which part or characteristic of the  Brassica oleracea  plants seems to show the greatest  range  of variation (biggest difference between one extreme and its opposite)? Use  and include  data collected from multiple measurements to support your answer.        The part of the plant that showed the most variation was the leaves. The length, width, and appearance of the leaves were different. I noticed that some of the leaves would be as long as 8.1 inches, while the shortest leafs length would be as small as 2.3 inches.  The largest width being 5.7 inches and the smallest being 2.3.   The leaves of the plants also showed variation in appearance. Some plants had light green leaves while others had dark purple leaves.  The part of the plant that offered the mos...
