Which of the following statements regarding plants is false?a. Meiosis within anthers produces spores that develop intopollen.b. Meiosis within ovules produces spores that develop into anembryo sac.c. The male gametophyte is a pollen grain, and the femalegametophyte is an embryo sac.d.

Contrast the life cycle of plants to that of animals (e.g., human beings) -Typical life cycle -Resulting structure from meiosis -Function of mitosis
In wild columbine, flower morphology encourages crosspollination. However, during the middle of the receptive period of the stigma, self-pollination can occur if the flower was not previously pollinated. If cross-pollination occurs after selfpollination, then that pollen reaches the base of the style before the self-pollen. Discuss the adaptive significance of this reproduction strategy.
Which of the following is an advantage of asexual reproduction? a. Cuttings taken from an adult plant show increased resistance to diseases. b. Grafted plants can more successfully endure drought. c. When cuttings or buds are taken from an adult plant or plant parts, the resulting plant will grow into an adult faster than a seedling. d. Asexual reproduction takes advantage of a more diverse gene pool.

A marijuana grower in Ft Jones, CA would like to increase the average amount of THC in his crop. He has estimated that the concentration in his current crop is 19 mg/g of product. The grower selects the top 7 male and 7 female plants in his current population and allows them to intercross. After pollination, the grower estimates that the average THC concentration in these plants is a bomber 30 mg/g THC! He plants the F1 seeds and after the next growing season finds that the average THC concentration is 26 mg/g THC in these plants. Unfortunately, the grower started listening to his old Deep Purple 8 tracks and can't find the notebook in which he recorded this information. 1. Can you please tell the grower what the selection differential for THC production was that produced this crop? 2.Can you please remind the grower what is the response to selection for THC production was in this population? 3 .Can you please tell the grower what the narrow-sense heritability is for THC production in…
