2.) Amniotic Eggs


This is a picture of amniotic eggs found in the courtyard of Waterford Mott. Amniotic eggs contain all of the necessary components for an embryo to survive and hatch. These eggs are composed of a hard or leathery shell, an amnion, and a fluid-filled amniotic sac. Amniotic eggs are produced by birds, reptiles, and egg-laying mammals.

3.) Anther and Filament

This is a picture of a common daylily which shows the anther and filament of a stamen. This is where the pollen of a flower is stored and produced. The anther holds the pollen while the filament, a long stem-like structure, holds the anther up so pollinators can reach it. The anther can either be placed at the end of the filament (as pictured) or towards the center.
