Question

When tomatoes are fully ripe, they develop bright red skins. William recently built a garden and decided to investigate tomato reproduction. He found that green tomatoes (not fully ripe) have an 18% chance of germinating while red tomatoes (fully ripe) have a 78% chance of germinating.

Based on the data provided from the investigation, explain what characteristic(s) contributes to the probability of the tomatoes reproductive success and what factors (genetic or environmental) might impact the growth and development of the tomatoes. 

 

Answer should be based on :

  1. Claim: includes the idea that characteristic animal behaviors or specialized plant structures affect the probability of successful reproduction.
  2. Evidence: supports claim including:

-behaviors and/or structures that increase the probability of reproduction

-cause and effect relationship between the behavior/structure and the successful reproduction of organisms that have them

-plant reproduction and the animal behaviors related to plant reproduction (if applicable)

 

  1. Reasoning: complete scientific explanation of how both environmental & genetic factors influence growth of organisms using reasoning to connect clear & relevant evidence involving the following:

-environmental factors

-genetic factors

-changes in growth as specific environmental & genetic factors change
