What would be the effect on flowering time of over-expressing VIN3 (i.e., 35S:VIN3) in a winter annual Arabidopsis plant grown adjacent to a summer annual wild type plant in long days under warm conditions? Assume that the plants germinate at the same time. In answering the question, describe the molecular mechanism that allows you to make this conclusion.

What is the most likely consequence of a mutation that would cause sporopollenin to degrade quickly right after it is synthesized? -A reduction in the ability of pollen and spores to survive intact and disperse to new areas. -A reduction in the ability of pollinators to detect and transfer pollen grains to a stigma. -A decrease in the number of sperm that can be produced. -A decrease in the ability of the pollen grain or spore to open when a suitable location is found. -A reduction in the ability of the integument of an ovule to develop into a seed coat.

When tomatoes are fully ripe, they develop bright red skins. William recently built a garden and decided to investigate tomato reproduction. He found that green tomatoes (not fully ripe) have an 18% chance of germinating while red tomatoes (fully ripe) have a 78% chance of germinating. Based on the data provided from the investigation, explain what characteristic(s) contributes to the probability of the tomatoes reproductive success and what factors (genetic or environmental) might impact the growth and development of the tomatoes. Answer should be based on : Claim: includes the idea that characteristic animal behaviors or specialized plant structures affect the probability of successful reproduction. Evidence: supports claim including: -behaviors and/or structures that increase the probability of reproduction -cause and effect relationship between the behavior/structure and the successful reproduction of organisms that have them -plant reproduction and the animal behaviors…
