Alternation of Generations in Plants Life Cycle of a Typical Animal Life Cycle of a Typical Plant
The Rise and Fall of Dinosaurs • Dinosaurs are found in the fossil record starting about 230 million years ago. • The last dinosaurs bcame extinct about 65 million years ago. • Impact Hypothesis: A 10km-wide meteorite had smashed into the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico, causing worldwide forest fires, tsunamis several kilometres high, and an 'impact winter'
The Rise and Fall of Dinosaurs • Evidence prior to impact that diversity of dinosaur species was on the decline. • Climate change? • Rise of Angiosperms? • Sometime in the Mid- Cretaceous Period; between 144 to 65 Million Years Ago • Corresponds with a decline of the gymnosperms and rise of animal groups

Basic Flower Structure stigma carpel gynoecium Flower is perfect Flower is monoecious locule style pollen ovary ovule anther filament stamen androecium petal corolla sepal perianth receptacle calyx Perianth is complete pedicel
Some Example Stories: Perfect Flowers: Pea exclusively self-pollinating Hibiscus self-pollinating if not crossed Cherry self-incompatible only outcrosses Imperfect Flowers: Begonia unisexual but monoecious Holly unisexual and dioecious Variable: Cucumber male, perfect, female, parthenocarpic
