Chapter 33, Problem 18TYK
A plant nursery manager tells the new night security guard to stay out of a room where chrysanthemums (which are short-day plants) are about to flower. Around midnight, the guard accidentally opens the door to the chrysanthemum room and turns on the lights for a moment. How might this affect the chrysanthemums? How could the guard correct the mistake?

Owners and managers of plant nurseries have to plan lighting schedules for a long-day plant that will flower in February. What lighting periods will be most effective? What color of light should be chosen?
You are responsible for landscaping a very large urban park. You choose a popular flowering garden plant, the hydrangea, to plant throughout the park. The nursery you purchased the plants from said that the flowers should be pink. After a few months, though, you find—to your surprise—that the plants throughout the park display a variety of flower colors ranging from purple and blue, to pink and white, and finally, to all shades in between.
After a suggestion from a friend, you test the soil where each plant was planted, and you determine that the color of the flowers seems to correlate with the acidity of the soil in which the plant was placed.
Choose the answer that best fits the blank. The parentheses after the blanks are the choices.
Since the flowers have shown such a broad range of colors, with no clear distinction between one color type and the next, this is an example of _________ (continuous variation, codominance, pleiotropy). The acidity of the soil is an example of…

- Jaden grows geraniums in his greenhouse. He has noticed that his flowers are not growing very well. The greenhouse is in the shade for much of the day and maintains a temperature of 23°C (74°F). What might be the problem and how could Jaden do to fix it?arrow_forwardA 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_forwardA short-day plant flowers only when exposed to light for less than 12 hours long. Which of the following would cause the plant to flower? * O a 13-hour night and 11-hour day with 1 minute of darkness after 6 hours a 12-hour day and 12-hour night with a flash of red light an 8-hour day and 16-hour night with a flash of white light after 8 hours O a 9-hour night and 15-hour day with 1 minute of darkness after 7 hours 24 hours of continuous lightarrow_forward
- We know that short-day plants do not really need short days, but actually long nights. Describe the type of treatment that proves this. Is some kind of light given during the night or some period of darkness given during the day?arrow_forwardMany flowers have both anthers and pistils. What prevents self-pollination and later self-fertilization?arrow_forwardGardeners sometimes plant clover between productive growing seasons. Why would this practice be beneficial ?arrow_forward
- We used seedlings of Lepidium sativum to see under which conditions it would germinate in an experiment. We'd use cotton wool and dampen it, and placing the seedlings at the bottom. Depending on which bottle it was, some were mixed with dampened cotton wool, and others didn't have cotton wool that were dampened. Then the opening of the bottle was covered, except for one which was covered with a lid. (See the picture). Now, I have to explain my results in my lab report. I can't find a solid source on what factors that cause the germination of seedlings. I've covered cellular respiration, and photosynthesis, but I don't know how to proceed from here. Bear also in mind that there's no soil in which the seed is germinating, so I will have to be able to explain this. Second of all, could you clue me in on how moisture is important for the germination of seedlings? Should I also bring up the physiology of seedlings and how they're growing?arrow_forwardEngineers have designed a smaller version of such a container that can be used to seal off a small part of the plant. One version of this device, called a leaf chamber, is shown below. When a scientist uses this device on a plant, they don’t need to break the leaves off the branch or stem they are attached to. The leaf chamber makes an airtight seal around the stem or branch even though it is sticking out of the chamber. Using this device, scientists detected the most change in O2 and CO2 levels inside the chamber when a leaf is in the chamber. They only detected a small change in O2 and CO2 levels in the chamber when a green stem was placed in the chamber. No change was detected when a root or a brown stem was placed in the chamber. Why do you think a scientist would prefer not to remove the leaves from a tree or a plant in order to take these sorts of measurements?arrow_forwardChoose one of the possible answers in the brackets to fill in the blank. During (simple dormancy/organic dormancy), seed only requires proper light and moisture for germination. During (simple dormancy/organic dormancy), the property of the seed prevents germination, even with light and moisture.arrow_forward
- In a flower garden, a horticulturist is growing purple and white pansies. The horticulturist notices that a new pansy has sprouted. When it finally flowers, the pansy is lavender. Explain how this happened.arrow_forwardJames is preparing a plate of papaya (Carica papaya) for his sleepover friends. As he cuts open the papaya, they discover 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. Remark: The word count limit is 250 words only, no less than 100 words.arrow_forwardWhich is common to the life cycles of both flowering and non-flowering plants? a) produce fruit b) stay dormant c) pollination d) producing conesarrow_forward
