Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The flow of the information from the genetic material to the physical appearance of the vine.
Introduction:
The flow of the information from the genetic material to the proteins, which then influences the physical traits of an individual, is described by the process of the central dogma. The process includes two steps, namely, transcription and translation.

Make a simple model illustrating how tomato plants might be able to detect insects on a neighboring plant and protect themselves from infestation and how the components of this system
interact. Show how fungi transfer information from insect-infested tomato plants to
nearby uninfested tomato plants. Be sure to label any inputs and outputs in the model.
A plant biologist discovers a new species of plant in the ashes of a recent forest fire along the sides of a steep mountain range. It is fall, and temperatures are dropping below freezing. The biologist cannot stay in the field to observe the plant. What can he infer about the plants reproductive strategy based on his recent observations?
A) the plant will produce flowers because at this altitude there is sufficient sunlight
B) the plant will produce comes because cones will mature into adult plants more rapidly
C) the plant will produce cones because cones allow for seed dispersal through all seasons
D) the plant will produce flowers because flowers can protect the seed from extreme conditions
Researchers working in a Brazilian rain forest recently discovered eight species of bioluminescent mushrooms at a single site. The mushrooms continually emit a faint glow that, although undetectable in daylight, makes them visible at night. Suggest a mechanism by which glowing in the dark could benefit a mushroom. Why do you think so many species with this unusual trait live in the same region?

- Prairie Crocus Usually, the first spring flower people notice in the southern Yukon is the prairie crocus. Statements Related to the Adaptations of the Prairie Crocus 1 The prairie crocus, like the sunflower, is a heliotrope. That means its flower turns through the day to follow the Sun. The petals act like a satellite dish to focus the light and warmth of the sun into the centre flower. Small insects such as ants crawl into the centre of the flower, where the temperature is significantly warmer, and move around pollinating the flower. 2 The fine hairs on its leaves reduce water loss by protecting the leaves from the wind. 3 The crocus blooms while the flower is still close to the ground and well-protected. 4 Unlike most plants, the stalk continues to grow even after the flower has been pollinated so that the seed pod forms as high as possible for better seed distribution. Identify the statement or statements that you would consider to be adaptations that allow the prairie crocus to…arrow_forwardHow does being a haploid affect the alteration of generations?

Historically, the general trend was that the hotter the climate, the spicier the foods a society traditionally favored.

Why might it be useful for humans to tolerate, and even enjoy, spicy food?arrow_forward
