Question
Chapter 38, Problem 7TYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The tissues that are generated in the SAMs (shoot apical meristems) and RAMs (root apical meristems) of the 300-year-old oak tree are embryonic.
Introduction:
A meristem refers to the tip of the plant shoot or root containing undifferentiated cells, which release auxin. This leads to the increase in the length of the shoot or root. There are two types of apical meristems, namely, SAMs and RAMs.

As this occurs, the hypocotyl emerges from the seed and bends into the shape of a hook (2). The bent hypocotyl lengthens and pulls the cotyledons upward (3). When the hypocotyl reaches the soil surface, exposure to light causes it to straighten (4). Primary leaves emerge from between the cotyledons and begin photosynthesis. The cotyledons typically undergo a period of photosynthesis before shriveling (5). Eventually, the cotyledons fall off the lengthening stem, and the young plant’s new leaves produce all of its food. a) Identify and explain what environmental factors influence the timing and coordination of the germination of seeds.arrow_forward
- 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 conditionsarrow_forward(a) What is the mutant that helps us to understand the adaxial identity of leaf development and the laminar outgrowth?
