A botanist has developed a new hybrid cotton plant that can withstand insects better than other cotton plants. However, there is some concern about the germination of seeds from the new plant. To estimate the probability that a seed from the new plant will germinate, a random sample of 3000 seeds was planted in warm, moist soil. Of these seeds, 2440 germinated. (a) Use relative frequencies to estimate the probability that a seed will germinate. What is your estimate? (Enter...

In plants, germ cells are derived from tissues late in plant growth. How does this fact relate to inheritance patterns observed in plants versus animals? a. This explains the presence of Barr bodies found in the cells of animals but not in plants. b. This explains why some genes in both the egg and sperm of animals contain special methylation patterns, whereas in plants all gametes have the same methylation patterning. c. This explains why epigenetic modifications are heritable in...

please answer the following and explain. thank you for your help ADAPTATIONS FOR DEFENSE AGAINST HERBIVORY Chemical Defenses :22. What is the benefit of having an inducible chemical defense, as opposed to a constitutive chemical defense? (an inducible defense is when the chemical is produced when herbivory is taking place as opposed to a constitutive defense where the chemical is always present) A. Inducible chemical defense best deters herbivory. B. With inducible defense, predation will take place before a defense...

Cytoplasmic male sterility is a useful tool in plant genetics because it can eliminate selfing without the need to physically remove the pollen. A corn breeder is working with multiple lines which she wants to cross to produce optimal yield. She finds one plant of the true breeding line Starlight has arisen that lacks pollen production (i.e., is male sterile). She then crosses this line with Jubilee, another true breeding line using the ovules of Starlight and pollen of Jubilee....
