You are responsible for landscaping a very large urban park. You choose a popular flowering garden plant, the hydrangea, to plant throughout the park. The nursery you purchased the plants from said that the flowers should be pink. After a few months, though, you find—to your surprise—that the plants throughout the park display a variety of flower colors ranging from purple and blue, to pink and white, and finally, to all shades in between.
After a suggestion from a friend, you test the soil where each plant was planted, and you determine that the color of the flowers seems to correlate with the acidity of the soil in which the plant was placed.
Choose the answer that best fits the blank. The parentheses after the blanks are the choices.
Since the flowers have shown such a broad range of colors, with no clear distinction between one color type and the next, this is an example of _________ (continuous variation, codominance, pleiotropy). The acidity of the soil is an example of…
In early spring, Dr. Tom Wilson notices that there is an equal distribution of long and short stemmed buttercups in the vacant lot across the street from his house as well as in his own backyard. In late summer he notices that there are mostly long stemmed buttercups in the lot, but mostly short stemmed buttercups in his yard. These observations are examples of what biological principle? Develop a hypothesis to explain Dr. Wilson's observations.
You have been chosen as the lead student gardener for the CSUMB Future Farmers of America Club (FFAC). Your club is looking to you and your Bio211 plant experience to guide them. You arrive at the new FFAC garden plots where your club mates show you their cherry tree that they've been having trouble with. Originally, its leave would change color and fall off the tree, as expected, in the autumn. However, more recently the leaves started changing color and falling off in the spring time.
Which hormone does the tree likely have in excess and why?
