in flowering control of plant, describe a situation wherein there are mutations in at least one or all of the genes responsible for control of the floral development.
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?
Under which of the following conditions would pollen from an S2S5 plant successfully pollinate an S1S5 flower? a. 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.
Mention two strategies evolved to prevent self-pollination in flowers.
In the experiment conducted to test why individuals in the tree species Fuschsia excorticata retain flowers after they turn red even though the trees pollinate and offer a nectar reward only when flowers are green (Figure attached 10.28 first tested the 'pollinator-attraction' hypothesis that red flowers attract pollinators: once drawn to a tree, pollinators could forage on the green flowers still present, increasing overall pollination efficiency. Please assess the lowercase-Roman-numeral-labelled statements that appear immediately below and click the uppercase-letter-labelled response that appears below and conveys the most accurate information. i. If the pollinator-attraction hypothesis were correct, then green flowers surrounded by red flowers should receive more pollen than should green flowers surrounded by only green flowers. ii. The prediction in statement i could be tested by removing red flowers from some trees, forming one experimental group, and leaving red flowers on…
Many flowers have both anthers and pistils. What prevents self-pollination and later self-fertilization?
Plant cells communicate in a variety of ways to elicit cellular responses. In the figure below the plant is responding the presence of light with the release of auxin. Auxin was first discovered for its ability to promote growth in plants. It is a plant hormone that inhibits the lengthening and stimulate the formation of lateral roots and root hairs. (c) Explain how the behavioral responses of the plant affect their overall fitness. ( refer to picture )
Please answer question 3
Give an example of how gene expression affects flowering time orflower appearance
Imagine that you are a member of a research group conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. Your group has submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Why is seed dispersal important in the life of plants? What would be the consequences of having seeds that simply fell to the ground underneath the parent tree? Please be detailed as possible
What is the evolutionary advantage for a flowering plant to be pollinated with pollen from a different individual plant (of the same species)?
