EVOLUTION CONNECTION With respect to sexual reproduction,some plant species are fully self-fertile, others are fully selfincompatible, and some exhibit a “mixed strategy” withpartial self-incompatibility. These reproductive strategiesdiffer in their implications for evolutionary potential. How,for example, might a self-incompatible species fare as asmall founder population or remnant population in a severepopulation bottleneck (see Concept 23.3), as compared with aself-fertile species?

Sexual reproduction in plants provides genetic variation. What are the benefits of this genetic variation? O If a population is presented with a rapid change in the environment or a chronic new pathogen or herbivore, then genetic variability would increase the chances of survival of the population. O Sexual reproduction produces less genetic variations which enables a population to co-evolve with other organisms in it's ecosystem. O Sexual reproduction reduces genetic variations which enables a population to take advantage of different resources in it's ecosystem enabling it to exist in a the same niche as others that use the original resources. O Sexual reproduction will always produce a more fit organism. A XE A AY9 Week9_ng....xlsx Week 9 Pre-lab.pdf 10.7591 978150... A MacBook Air Copy of Lab 9 A....pdf
What preliminary conclusions can you draw from the results of the experiment and what is the independent and dependent variable ?
Some aggressive understory ant species patrol the foliage of the tropical forest shrub Psychotria limonensis, wild coffee (Fig.1). The ants chase insects and other animals away from the plant's flowers and fruits. Explain why this behavior may enhance the plant's reproductive success during some periods, but decrease the plant's reproductive success at other times. Figure 1. P. limonensis V
Flowers whose throats (nectaries) are too long for hummingbirds to reach their nectar are unlikely to be pollinated (nectar reward isn't available) and therefore the flower is unlikely to reproduce. But if the nectaries are too short, hummingbirds can get their nectar without pollinating them because they don't reach in far enough to touch the pollen-carrying anthers, thus no reproduction for the flower. Flowers evolve with an intermediate length of nectaries. This is an example of what sort of selection? Group of answer choices Disruptive Stabilizing Directional Sexual
Please answer question 1
The drooping, bell-like flower Aquilegia canadensis is adapted for cross-pollination. However, if the plant has not been pollinated previously, self-pollination can occur. However, if cross pollination occurs after self-pollination takes place, the pollen from cross pollination reaches the style before the pollen from self-pollination. Using course concepts and vocabulary 1) Provide a reasoning for this phenomenon. 2) Would this adaptation for reproduction be beneficial for the plant?
Course: Botany In stable populations, ones that are neither increasing nor decreasing in abundance (e.g., there are a million trees now and there will be a million trees a thousand years from now), about how many of a plant’s seeds survive and grow to adulthood, being able to replace it when it dies? If during the plant’s lifetime it produces 100,000 seeds, how many do not survive, do not grow, and cannot replace it when it dies. (Hint: Do not think of humans, as we are an increasing population, not a stable one. Almost all our children survive, but that is not true of any other species.) Answer and explain briefly.
Sexual reproduction in plants is considered to be a source of variation creation. How reproduction mechanisms played their role in creating variation and also give view regarding the mechanism that could be responsible for causing a different type of pollination
Clausen and colleagues proposed two hypotheses to explainthis variation within a species: (1) There are genetic differencesbetween populations of plants found at different elevations.(2) The species has developmental flexibility and can assumetall or short growth forms, depending on local abiotic factors.If you had seeds from yarrow plants found at low and highelevations, how would you test these hypotheses?
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…
Based on this evidence, is it likely that burdock would reproduce as much if it didn’t have specially structured seeds? (a) it is most likely that it would still reproduce, but the offspring would probably be located much closer together (b) there is not enough information to speculate about how well burdock plants reproduce (c) no, there wouldn’t be as much burdock without its special structures (d) Yes, burdock would spread just as well regardless of the design of its seed pods
Over evolutionary time, Yucca moths developed a specialist mutualism with Yucca plants. Select all the statements that reflect EITHER costs or benefits of forming this specialist mutualism The highly specialized relationship with Yuccas and Yucca Moths reduces potential competition with other pollinators The highly specialized relationship with Yuccas and Yucca Moths increases potential competition with other pollinators Yucca moths can become locally extinct if Yucca plants are removed or die The fitness of Yucca plants would be dramatically reduced if a pesticide was sprayed killing Yucca moths none of the above
