Glossary
Antheridium: Haploid structure or organ, producing and
containing male gametes called antherozoids or sperms.
Anticlinal: At right angles to the surface of an organ or part.
In anticlinal cell division the plane of division is at right

Asexual: Having no apparent sexual organs.
Chlorophyll: A green colouring matter found in plants.

Haploid: The state of having one copy of each chromosome
per nucleus or cell.
Paraphysis: Sterile cells occurring between the sex organs of
mosses.
Periclinal: Parallel to the surface of an organ or part. In

surface of the plant body.
Phyllotaxy: The arrangement of leaves on a plant stem.
