Summary Introduction
To write:
The reason why it is difficult to produce seedless fruits.
Introduction:
A plant is regarded as seedless when the fruits are completely seed-free, contain significantly fewer seeds, or aborted seeds are present. Seedless fruit consumption is usually easier than fruit bearing seed. For this reason, seedless fruit is considered commercially valuable.

- 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…arrow_forwardEndosperm is completely consumed by the developing embryo in: (a) pea and groundnut (b) maize and castor (c) castor and groundnut (d) maize and pea.arrow_forward3a)“Somatic hybridisation is preferable to genetic engineering and somaticvariation to improve a specific trait of a plant.” Comment this statement based on the principles of these approaches in improving the plants.arrow_forward
