Question
Chapter 27.2, Problem 1CYL
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The exponential growth, the conditions under which it occurs and the shape of the curve which it produces.
Introduction:
A population could not indefinitely grow. The resistance of the environment ensures that no natural population will experience exponential growth for a longer duration of time. The environmental resistance consists of the factors which limit the growth of population.

Which bean seed would you expect to germinate more quickly and why? (* b) Imagine you are going to plant two bean seeds. You plant one bean seed at room temperature and one bean seed in the fridge. Which bean seed would you expect to germinate more quickly and why?*arrow_forwardDanish is preparing a plate of papaya (Carica papaya) for his sleepover friends. As he cuts open the papaya, they discover great numbers of slime-covered seed inside, surrounded by soft flesh and soft skin. Before papaya fruits ripen and the seeds inside them mature, their flesh is bitter or sour. Only later does it become tasty. Discuss how this feature improves the odds for the plant's reproductive success and identify the possible agents to disperse the seeds.arrow_forwardAdvantages of retaining the young sporophyte as an embryo within the parent plant include the following choices:A) The embryo is protected from desiccation.B) The embryo is able to quickly replicate, producing multiple copies that can be widely dispersed.C) The embryo is able to attain nutrients supplied by maternal tissues.D) The embryo is protected from pathogens.E) The embryo is protected from ultraviolet light.arrow_forward

- 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 : Claim: includes the idea that characteristic animal behaviors or specialized plant structures affect the probability of successful reproduction. 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…arrow_forwardexplain Generalized transduction using diagramarrow_forwardLength of roots (in mm) Number of Length of green leaf (in mm) Number of root growth sprouted green leaf 2 Replicate 1 Replicate 2 Replicate 3 Substance Replicate 1 Replicate 2 Replicate 3 Substance Replicate 1 Replicate 2 Replicate 3 Distilled 5 4 3 water 4 2 2 6 4 4 2 A 6 2 7 3 1 2 B 2 2 1 3 3 13.
