There are multiple examples of plants having inflorescences that take on the form of an individual flower. Two such examples are in Asteraceae (capitulum) and Euphorbiaceae (cyathium). What would be an evolutionary advantage of flower-like inflorescences?
Homework Answers
- Multiple inflorescences is favored for the evolution by the natural selection. Flowers that are packed in an inflorescence, better attract insects for the pollination and thus helps in evolution.
- There are hundreds of flowers in an inflorescence that produces many seeds and fruits and hence offers an advantage in the evolution.
- Fertilization of flowers and Dispersal of seeds is also fast.

During photosynthesis plants take in inorganic Co, and water converting them to organic compounds such as glucose. Glucose can be utilized to produce energy or become stored in the form of starch in different parts of the plant. Some scientists wanted to learning more about the transporting system of plants, so they labeled the carbon atoms in the Co, so that they can trace their path through the plant's body. Which part of the vascular tissue of the plant you...

Given the genotype AaBbCcDdEE a) How many kinds of gametes can this individual form? b) If selfing occurred, what fraction of the progeny would have the following genotype: AaBBccDdEE? A cross between two plants produces progeny which, through subsequent breeding experiments, are shown to fall into 27 genotypic classes. Assuming that complete dominance operates at all of the loci involved and that each locus has two alleles, a) At how many different loci are the parents heterozygous? b) How many...

1. Genetically identical plants are planted in a garden. Ones on the east edge of the garden produce blue flowers; the others produce pink flowers. How can this best be explained? environmental factors influence flower color the alleles are codominant the allele for blue flowers is dominant a mutation must have occurred multiple alleles affect flower color 2. In a species of mammal, some individuals are true-breeding for red hair. Others are true-breeding for brown hair. A true-breeding red individual...
