Question
Chapter 36.2, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether four seedling tips are enough to conclude the general response of such seedling tips in the experiments performed or not.
Introduction: An organism’s response to an external or an internal stimulus is known as its behavior. Plant movement is one of the examples of plant behavior. Chemical signals which are transported within the body of a plant are known as plant hormones. Some of the examples of plant hormones are auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, ethylene, abscisic acid, and brassinosteroids.

Lettuce seed assays are used to compare the ecotoxicity of methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol by these alcohols' effects on germination rate and root elongination. Using the attached data, help answer which alcohol seems to be the most toxic to lettuce seeds. Why or why not would your results be expected?

- A team of researchers investigated the effects of phosphorous availability and light intensity on an angiosperm species. Seeds of the angiosperm were divided into four equal groups. Groups 1 and 2 were exposed to 200 μmol, and Groups 3 and 4 were exposed to 500 μmol. Groups 2 and 4 also received a phosphorous (P) solution. After 20 days, all plants were weighed, and the average dry weight of each group was calculated. The results are in the table below. Group 1(200 μmol, no P) Group 2(200 μmol, + P) Group 3 (500 μmol, no P) Group 4 (500 μmol + P) Average Dry weight (g) 0.8 1.1 1.5 6.2 Describe the effects of light and phosphorous on the growth of the plants in this study.

Using pollen from a carpelate flower to fertilize a staminate flower would be successful. b. If the plants used gametophytic self-incompatibility, half of the pollen would be successful. c. If the plants used sporophytic self-incompatibility, half of the pollen would be successful. d. Pollen from an S2S5 plant can never pollinate an S1S5 flower.arrow_forward
- Q13arrow_forwardPlease help this is hw and I want to know why I'm wrong Why do many plants use pathways that detect light to regulate their flowering? Selected Answer: This allows plants to link flowering to temperature, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal Answers: This allows plants to link flowering to day length, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal Flower petals carry out high levels of photosynthesis and require high light conditions This allows plants to link flowering to temperature, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal A minimum amount of light is always necessary for floweringarrow_forward50. Read the given statements and select the correct option. (i) Darwin and Darwin (1880) found that sensation of unilateral illumination was perceived by the coleoptile tip of canary grass. (i) IAA is universal natural auxin, discovered by Kogl et al. (iii) IBA is both natural and synthetic auxin. (iv) Auxins promote the growth of lateral shoots. (a) Statements (i) and (ii) are correct.

- Can you answer this question with both parts In shoot apical meristems, the peripheral zone (PZ) genetic program maintains indeterminacy and allows lateral primordia initiation. a. Explain how the PZ genetic program control (1) meristem maintenance, (2) organ separation, and (3) organ differentiation/leaf primordia outgrowth using the following keywords: KNOX genes, cytokinins, gibberellin, auxin, and AS1. b. Explain how this genetic program is used in the formation of compound leaves.arrow_forwardA team of researchers investigated the effects of phosphorous availability and light intensity on an angiosperm species. Seeds of the angiosperm were divided into four equal groups. Groups 1 and 2 were exposed to 200 pmol, and Groups 3 and 4 were exposed to 500 umol. Groups 2 and 4 also received a phosphorous (P) solution. After 20 days, all plants were weighed, and the average dry weight of each group was calculated. The results are in the table below.

Based on your understanding of phototropism, provide predictions about the direction of plant growth for the following two scenarios, and explain your reasoning. 1. The tip of the coleoptile is removed and lanolin with auxin is applied to the dark side of the stem. 2. The tip of the coleoptile is removed and lanolin with auxin is applied to the light side of the stem.arrow_forward
