- How Do Plants and Their Pollinators Interact?arrow_forwardWhat is grafting? Why is it used in horticulture practices?arrow_forwardWhat is the purpose of the fruit we (and other animals) eat, from the plant's perspective? Group of answer choices To create something attractive to pollinators. To create a food item that ensures humans will continue to farm them. To bring in more than one type of pollinator. To entice us to eat the seeds contained inside the fruit, and thus disperse the seeds.arrow_forward
- Plant biologists are currently working to identify those Arabidopsis genes with unknown functions. If you were assigned to determine the function of a particular gene, how might you approach this task?arrow_forwardDoug Schemske is a biologist who studies plants from around the world. Doug and his research team carry out experiments with the plant species Mouse-ear Cress, or Arabidopsis thaliana. They like this species because it is easy to grow in both the lab and field. Arabidopsis is very small and lives for just one year. It grows across most of the globe and in a wide range of latitudes and climates. Arabidopsis is also able to pollinate itself and produce many seeds, making it possible for researchers to grow many individuals to use in their experiments. Doug chose Arabidopsis populations in Scandinavia and the Mediterranean for his research on local adaptation because those two locations have very different climates. The populations may have adapted to have the highest survival and reproduction based on the climate of their home location. To deal with sudden freezes and cold winters in Scandinavia, plants may have evolved freeze tolerance traits, which produces chemicals that act like…arrow_forwardAs you learned in this chapter, many prescription drugs are derived from natural plant products. Numerous other plant substances, including caffeine and nicotine, have effects in the human body, as well. There is also a wide array of plant products, in the form of pills, powders, or teas, marketed as herbal medicines. Some people prefer taking these “natural” products to pharmaceuticals. Others use herbal supplements to boost energy, promote weight loss, strengthen the immune system, relieve stress, and more. The U.S. Federal Drug Administration, which approves pharmaceuticals, is also responsible for regulating herbal remedies. What does the label “FDA-approved” on an herbal remedy mean? How does that compare to FDA approval of a drug? The FDA website http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/default.htm is a good place to start your research. (Note that the FDA classifies herbal remedies as dietary supplements.)arrow_forward
