What is ecology and why is it important? Why are pollen grains produced in enormous quantities in maize? What is seed dormancy? Why is it good? Explain the purpose of the fruit that develops on a flowering plant. Reproduction is important to separation, but why is it so important?
Pollination occurs when pollen from the male part of a plant is transferred to the female part of the plant. This can occur when a flower pollinates itself, which is called self-pollination. Alternately, the pollen can be carried from one flower to another by an animal, ...
For a long time, it seemed that the SC was necessary for Class I crossovers in plants, but studies of plants bearing mutations in transverse filament-encoding genes (ZEP1andZYP1in rice and Arabidopsis, respectively) have shown that this is not the case; in these mutants, the number of Cla...

There are also traits that offerAbiotic Stress Tolerance(a good example is this year farmers in the western Plains will be planting some corn that is called DroughtGard which helps the plant function better in times of low water availability),Disease Resistance(this one is really awesome knowing...
We conclude that self-incompatibility in this species contributes to its limited fruit set, though other factors such as low pollinator activity may also be important. Pollinators are needed for the reproduction of Echites umbellatus, and only sphingid moths have mouthparts long...
What is one reason why a plant would want to close its stomata? Why is it necessary to let test tubes stand for 5 minutes in their various temperatures? Why do all flowers produce pollen, but not all produce nectar? why does a beekeeper keep beehives in crop fields 2 answers below ...
In what ways are plants and animals dependent on each other? Explain. How do animals aid plant reproduction through pollen transport? Why is that so important for plants, animals and humanity? Why do plants provide bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other animals with nectar? How has the ...
East Indies on the Neotoma database found only one pollen and two charcoal records for the entire Philippine archipelago during the Spanish colonial period. While the Neotoma database is not complete—some work by Horrocks is not listed, including his recent contribution to Peterson et al.’s ...
