Reproduction & Breeding Biology Mastery Quiz — THC Living Plant Atlas

1What is the most reliable way to compare male and female preflowers?

AJudge from one leaf shapeBUse root colorCUse trichome clarity onlyDUse multiple structures and developmental stages rather than one ambiguous early view

2What does mixed-sex expression mean observationally?

AStaminate or anther structures appear on an otherwise female plantBRoots become leavesCA seed absorbs waterDXylem reverses into pollen

3What must occur before fertilization can begin?

AA cotyledon must become a rootBPollen must reach a receptive pistillate structure such as a stigmaCXylem must stopDA trichome must turn amber

4Which structures are characteristic parts of a female cannabis flower?

ARoot hairs and root caps onlyBBracts and stigmasCXylem vessels onlyDCotyledons only

5What is a major developmental consequence of successful pollination?

ADevelopment is redirected toward seed formation in the fertilized flowerBThe radicle re-enters the seedCAll stomata close permanentlyDXylem stops transporting water

6What follows successful fertilization during seed development?

AThe seed coat disappears immediatelyBThe root system becomes pollenCEmbryo and seed tissues develop and matureDAll leaves become cotyledons

7Which practice is most important for interpreting an intentional pollination later?

ARelying on memory aloneBRemoving all labelsCIgnoring where pollen was appliedDClear isolation, target labeling, and records of what was pollinated
