- Differentiate the following treatments based on the effect of light on monggo (Vigna radiata) seed germination: directly exposed to sunlight placed in shaded area (indirect light) place in the dark (complete darkness)arrow_forwardIn a common eudicot pattern of development for the common bean in the figure, the radicle emerges from the seed (1), then begins to develop into a primary root that grows down into the soil. As this occurs, the hypocotyl emerges from the seed and bends into the shape of a hook (2). The bent hypocotyl lengthens and pulls the cotyledons upward (3). When the hypocotyl reaches the soil surface, exposure to light causes it to straighten (4). Primary leaves emerge from between the cotyledons and begin photosynthesis. The cotyledons typically undergo a period of photosynthesis before shriveling (5). Eventually, the cotyledons fall off the lengthening stem, and the young plant’s new leaves produce all of its food. a) Identify and explain what environmental factors influence the timing and coordination of the germination of seeds.arrow_forwardCompare the following situations of seed germination of monggo seeds within five days: - exposed to direct sunlight - placed in a shaded area, and - placed in complete darknessarrow_forward
- Suppose that 100 pollen grains land on a stigma, and 50 mature seeds are formed in the fruit. What does this indicate about the pollination process and success? A) 100% success: 100 pollen grains grew to 50 ovules, two to each, and double fertilization occurred. B) 100% success: Only 50% of the pollen grains germinated, but each produced 2 sperms to complete double fertilization in 50 seeds. C) 50% success: 50 sperm fertilized 50 eggs, and 50 sperm fused with 50 polar nuclei. D) 50% success: 50 sperm fertilized 50 eggs, and 50 sperm fused with 100 polar nuclei. correct answer and explanation why please.arrow_forwardHow does the order of red and farred illumination affect seed germination?arrow_forwardDescribe the structure of a seed.
