regulation of gas exchange between the plant and the atmosphere, and successful reproduction. Thus, manyadaptationsto land existence have evolved in the plant kingdom and are reflected among the different major plant groups. An example is the development of a waxy covering (thecuticle) that covers...
The first one is vegetative reproduction. With this type all the plants that have the same parent have the same genetic make-up. This also lets plants pass adaptations on that they have abtained over the years. Plants with good genetic make-up usually spread quickly and take over an area....
in preparation for reproduction, undergo meiotic division and produce reproductive cells that have only half the number of chromosomes (i.e., haploid, orn). A two-celled microgametophyte (called a pollen grain) germinates into a pollen tube and through division produces the haploid sperm. An ei...
Lesson Transcript Cite this lesson Instructor Jenna Conan View bio Expert Contributor Christianlly Cena View bio Plants are a group of living organisms that produce their own food and oxygen. To better understand plants, explore the different parts of a plant, including the roots, stems,...
Cite this lesson Plants have life cycles that have a beginning and an end like most living organisms. Explore the life of plants from seed to seedling to maturity and learn the basics of plant reproduction. Starting as a Seed Every plant, from the tallest tree to the smallest blade of gras...
It presents a combination of two reproductive mechanisms: sexual and clonal propagation. We describe in this study the various attributes related to the sexual reproduction of Dyckia tuberosa as well as plant-animal interactions that take place in its reproductive structures. In the population studied...

E. Hulme Introduction The scale and consequence of biological invasions in New Zealand represent an object lesson as to why the introduction of species across biogeographic bound- aries should never be considered lightly. Ever since the initial settlement by Polynesians in the late 13th century, ...
Cite this lesson Explore the adaptations that allow plants to thrive in grassland biomes. Discover how these plants survive weather conditions, fires, and animals feeding on them. Additionally, learn how these plants utilize pollinator species in reproduction. ...
“Just as animal agriculture has replicated animal reproduction and growth under controlled conditions for millennia, cellular agriculture continues this same practice at the level of individual cells — the building blocks of animals (and animal meat).” ...
