Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The data about the mass and number of seeds generated by the barley plants of third generation i.e. presented in the given table and draw out conclusions from the data.
Given:
Three generations of barley were grown in different concentrations of nickel-containing medium. The total seeds from each plant group were harvested and their numbers and masses were examined.
Some of the seeds out of the total harvest were grown in nickel-free conditions to test their germination.
Introduction:
Reproductive success of a plant depends on its seed set. If a plant receives all its nutrients, plant will have a healthy seed set with increased seed size and greater mass.
