Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The consequence of the non-closing of stomata because of the mutation in a plant.

Introduction:

The cellular structures at the epidermis known as stomata control how much gas is transferred between plants and the atmosphere. When light is present for photosynthesis, they normally open in the morning to promote CO₂ diffusion and close at night to reduce transpiration and conserve water.
