Chapter 45, Problem 1AC
Summary Introduction

To determine:

The condition that an individual could try to get the seeds to germinate.

Introduction:

When the embryonic plant which is present within seed start growing in the form of sprouting, breaks a dormancy period and forms a seedling then the seeds are said to be germinated.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

An individual gave some seeds to a friend to grow in a yard. After planting the seed, if it did not germinate, then the gardener should follow some steps, which are listed below:

(i) The gardener should know the expected time or year for the seed germination.

(ii) The gardener must provide favorable environment condition for the seed germination, such as plenty of sunlight and warm environment.

(iii) The gardener must apply of Gibberellic acid for seed germination.

(iv) Seed should be covered with loose nutritive planting mix layer.

Conclusion

Seed does not break their dormancy period until their favorable condition reach. Thus, the gardener should know the favorable period of seed.

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?
A student reporting on a project said that one of her seeds did not grow properly because it was planted upside down, so it got confused and tried to grow down. Should the teacher accept this explanation? Why or why not?
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.
