MAKE CONNECTIONS What are the shared anddistinct functions of the uterus of an insect and theovary of a flowering plant? (See Figure 38.6.)
In some species, such as magnolia, sepals look like petals, and both are collectively called "tepals:' Suggest an extension to the ABC model that could hypothetically account for the origin of tepals.
The drooping, bell-like flower Aquilegia canadensis is adapted for cross-pollination. However, if the plant has not been pollinated previously, self-pollination can occur. However, if cross pollination occurs after self-pollination takes place, the pollen from cross pollination reaches the style before the pollen from self-pollination. Using course concepts and vocabulary 1) Provide a reasoning for this phenomenon. 2) Would this adaptation for reproduction be beneficial for the plant?
