Chapter 4, Problem 15P
A plant line with reduced fertility comes to the attention of a plant breeder who observes that seed pods often contain a mixture of viable seeds that can be planted to produce new plants, and withered seeds that cannot be sprouted. The breeder examines numerous seed pods in the reduced fertility line and counts
a. What single-gene mechanism best explains the breeder’s observation?
b. Propose an additional experiment to test the genetic mechanism you propose. If your hypothesis is correct, what experimental outcome do you predict?

Apart from food, plants need other nutrients like water and minerals.
Nitrogen, a mineral, is an important part of all living cells. All organisms need nitrogen in order to grow and repair.
Although nitrogen exists in its elemental form in the atmosphere, it cannot be directly used by plants.
7 Where else can plants obtain their nitrogen from?
Plants make their own nitrogen.
B Plants get it from animals.
Plants get it from the soil.
D
Plants have special structures to break down
atmospheric nitrogen.
