Study/answer the following questions in order to prepare for your test
Answer true/false for the following:
Pollen can be carried by wind, animals, or water.
Animal-pollinated plants have fragrant or showy flowers to attract the animals.
Fungi, such as mold, Baker’s yeast, and mushrooms produce almost no spores.
When environmental conditions are harsh, some bacteria form thick-walled, resistant spores, called ectospores
The hard outer layer, or shell, of a pollen grain or spore is called an exine.
Pollen is an example of trace evidence
Through microscopic examination of pollen or spores, it is possible to identify a specific plant that produced that pollen or spore With the exception of bacterial endospores, pollen and spores are reproductive structures.
Spores are produced only by fungi.
Flowering plants or angiosperms are the only plants that produce pollen.
Pollen and spore identification can provide important trace evidence in solving crimes due to their structures.
Pollen present on the victim that matches pollen from a suspect provides strong evidence that the suspect is guilty.
In unsolved cases, it is possible that pollen evidence embedded within a rug could be viewed years after the crime was committed and used to help convict a suspect.
A pollen fingerprint is the number and type of pollen grains found in a geographic area at a particular time of year
Answer/study the following points
Angiosperms and gymnosperms do not form fruits that surround their seeds
What is the male part of the flowering plant called?
What is the spore-producing part of fungi called?
Gymnosperms are a pollen producer that is useful for forensic studies because of the abundance of pollen produced
Important criteria for collecting pollen or spore samples do not include putting all plant samples in a plastic bag
The pistil is made up of the stigma, ovary, and style
What is the male part of the flower that is responsible for pollen production and
