Question
Chapter 24, Problem 6WIO
Summary Introduction
To develop:
A hypothesis that explains why it might be adaptive for a plant to flower in response to photoperiod rather than temperature.
Concept introduction:
The growth of plants, depend upon several factors which include availability of water and sun-light. Plants also respond to gravity and touch, and grow towards or away from the direction of the stimulus. For flowering, plants depend upon availability of light.

- A plant biologist discovers a new species of plant in the ashes of a recent forest fire along the sides of a steep mountain range. It is fall, and temperatures are dropping below freezing. The biologist cannot stay in the field to observe the plant. What can he infer about the plants reproductive strategy based on his recent observations? A) the plant will produce flowers because at this altitude there is sufficient sunlight B) the plant will produce comes because cones will mature into adult plants more rapidly C) the plant will produce cones because cones allow for seed dispersal through all seasons D) the plant will produce flowers because flowers can protect the seed from extreme conditionsarrow_forwardImagine a plant that has been well adapted to a particular habitat, and it has been reproducing only asexually; thus, all of its offspring are identical to it.
