Explain why Catasetum orchids have male and female flowers on the same plant that look very different. What specific type of selection best explains this outcome?
This is very rare that the same plant produces male and female flowers. Actually, in these cases, the outcome is the manifestation of the temperature and it is this temperature that dictates the sex. It has been seen that when spikes are getting buds and if the temperature is higher than normal at a particular instance then all the flowers are female. Whereas when temperature fluctuation takes place both flowers can grow on the same spike as the buds form progressively along the spike over a period of time.

In a monoecious plant A) all the flowers would either be male or female B)the flowers would all be perfect flowers C)some flowers would be male and some would be female
7. Which of the following is seen in plants with self-fertilization? a. Each individual plant only produces either male or female flowers b. Male and female flowers are produced in different parts of the plant c. Male and female flowers are produced at different points in time d. Pollen tube is incompatible with stigma from the same plant e. Flower bud never opens, pollen flows directly to the stigma 8. Select one outcome that is NOT the result of the...
In terms of health and ethical problems, male circumcision and female genital mutilation were regarded very similar but also very distinct. Is male circumcision the same as female genital mutilation, how are they comparable and how are they distinct? Should both Male Circumcision and Female Genital Mutilation be regarded as human rights violations using a public health point of view? Why or why shouldn't it?
A population of beetles is surviving by eating the flowers of one particular species of plant in a meadow and the beetles do not leave the meadow because they can’t fly very far. The meadow is sprayed with herbicide and those plants all die. Almost all of the beetles then die of starvation. The few that survive to happen to have longer wings and they are able to fly off and make it to another meadow where there are still...
1. A plant with red flowers is crossed with a white-flowered plant of the same species. All the seeds, when grown, produce plants with red flowers. Assuming that the flower color is controlled by a single pair of alleles, which allele is dominant and which is recessive? 2. How does inbreeding increase the incidence of recessive disorders in a population? 3. Why does an individual always have only two alleles for a given gene? 4. In cats, the allele (S) for short fur...
For Examples of discrimination lets prentend a male and female work in the same workplace. a job opens and both apply. The male before even being interviewed is told by HR he can not have the position because he does not have a bachelors degree. A woman also applies. she does not have a bachelors either and so she gets an interview. Instead of getting the job that is posted HR gives her a job that was never posted. Thus,...
Do male and female college students have the same distribution of living arrangements? Use a level of significance of 0.05. Suppose that 101 randomly selected male college students and 51 randomly selected female college students were asked about their living arrangements: dormitory, apartment, or other. The results are shown in Table. Do male and female college students have the same distribution of living arrangements? Dormitory Apartment Other Male 41 34 26 Female 19 27 5 What is the chi-square test-statistic...
Plant Lab Select 3 differently shaped flowers from a florist or grocery store – (Walmart even has a decent selection – a lily, a carnation, and a snapdragon are all nice and very different from one another). • Find out what kind of flowers you have and find an image of each on the internet – It would be best if you can find one that talks about flower parts • For each flower, note whether there are sepals, petals,...
A cross has been set up between a true breeding tall plant producing white flowers and a true breeding short plant producing red flowers. One can be certain that this type of a cross: will result in a 3 red: 1 white ratio will result in all red F_1 flowers cannot produce progeny because the parental phenotypes are different from one another is a monohybrid cross is a dihybrid cross In humans, free earlobes (E) are dominant to attached earlobes...
You have identified a new species of flowering plant with red flowers instead of the usual blue flowers. You performed a cross and found that all of the F1 plants had purple flowers. When you self-fertilized these F1 plants, the resulting F2 was: Blue flowers: 1034 Purple flowers: 297 Red flowers: 94 What would the expected numbers be if these phenotypes were due to two alleles with incomplete dominance at a single loci? What if these phenotypes were due to...
