Drain off excess alcohol from the buds and aseptically excise the anthers from each bud. Remove the filaments and culture the anther on one of the agar media provided. Label the stage of development of the bud on each petri dish as the anthers are cultured. Seal the Petri dishes with parafilm. Incubate in the dark at 26 to 28ºC for 4 to 8 weeks or until small plants can be seen growing out of the anthers. Then transfer to diffuse light. Record the results of the experiment in table form and submit the report. Observation: The culture was contaminated after 8 weeks of incubation…arrow_forward
- MAKE CONNECTIONS Compare the function of retinalin the eye with that of the pigment chlorophyll in a plantphotosystem (see Concept 10.2).arrow_forwardDiscuss Concepts Baobab trees (Adansonia spp.) store water in their trunks (stems) and, although the trees have leaves, considerable photosynthesis also occurs in the trunks. Cacti too have water-storing, photosynthetic stems. In terms of evolutionary adaptation, what does this information suggest about cacti and baobabs?arrow_forwardPlease help this is hw and I want to know why I'm wrong Why do many plants use pathways that detect light to regulate their flowering? Selected Answer: This allows plants to link flowering to temperature, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal Answers: This allows plants to link flowering to day length, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal Flower petals carry out high levels of photosynthesis and require high light conditions This allows plants to link flowering to temperature, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal A minimum amount of light is always necessary for floweringarrow_forward
