Question
Chapter 20.8, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Why the young with endophytes are less damaged than those without endophytes.
Concept introduction:
Endophytes are fungi that colonize living internal tissue of plants without causing any immediate, overt negative effects. Plant host is able to supply the necessary nutrients and the compounds required for the endophyte to complete its life cycle.

The picture below is of a moss growing on my roof. It shows both the gametophyte and the
sporophyte phases of the life cycle.
Make a sketch and label which part of the moss is the gametophyte and which is the sporophyte.
(Alternatively, you can find a live moss with both phases and take a picture, label it and upload here.)

- Discuss the importance of root nodules and mycorrhizal fungi to plants.arrow_forwardThe Irish potato famine was an important historical event that occurred in the 1840’s. The Irish were generally low income, and relied entirely on a particular variety of potato, known as "lumpers”. This strain of potato was susceptible to a rot caused by Phytophthora infestans. This led to wide-spread potato spoilage, which devastated the food supply, and ultimately caused many deaths. What would have been an effective strategy to avoid the Irish potato famine? Plant a more diverse mix of potatoes. Use antibiotics on the potatoes to protect from the rot. Expand cropland to increase the total number of potatoes grown. Use fertilizers, crop rotation, and irrigation to improve potatoes crop yields.arrow_forwardA B C D G E F H a) On the diagram, which labeled structure represents the mature male gametophyte?
