Consider a cherry pit, wich is a seed with a cherry embryo inside it. Trace the paternal ancestry of that embryo. Explain how the sperm that fathered the embryo came to unite with the egg, and the process by which that sperm originated.
Seed plants have eusteles instead of siphonosteles they are not the same as leaf gaps in ferns. Do you understand the differences? Describe.
Basil is common in vegetable gardens. Many gardeners grow this plant for its leaves, which provide flavor in sauces and other dishes. Leaf production is higher when young flowers are pruned off the plant before they have a chance to develop. Explain this observation
