- Ch. 22-1 Early botanists admired ferns but found their life cycle perplexing. In the 1700s, they learned to propagate ferns by sowing what appeared to be tiny dust-like "seeds" from the undersides of fronds. Despite many attempts, the scientists could not find the pollen source, which they assumed must stimulate these "seeds" to develop. Imagine you could write to one of these botanists. Compose a note that would clear up the confusion.arrow_forwardCan you answer all the parts to this question please (a) What are the advantages of the self-incompatibility (SI) system in plants?
