To determine: Whether the “teeth” along the edges of red maple (Acer rubrum) leaves varies from north to south.
Concept Introduction: Topography of the soil influences the growth and development of plants.
To determine: Whether the data suggest that these differences are due to climatic differences.
Concept Introduction: Genetic variation is caused due to the genetic factors that are transferred in families. Topography of the soil influences the growth and development of plants. Genetic variation may cause a change in reproductive ability, habit specialization, plant–insect interaction, and generation time. The climatic condition includes rainfall, water, light, humidity, air, and wind. These are considered as abiotic components.
