Non-vascular plants have adapted for survival by all of these methods EXCEPT?
Non-vascular plants have adapted for survival in a lot of ways. These plants live in water for example to hold them sturdy.
What factor primarily determines the time of year that a plant flowers?
Photoperiod determines the time of flowering in many plants. Accordingly the plants have been classified as short day plants, long day plants and day neutral plants. A short day plant can be brought into flowering by putting in the dark for a specific period of time for the required days. Similarly, long day plants can be subjected to artificial light of desired intensity to initiate flowering.Photoperiod determines the time of flowering in many plants.

Why is it important to know the mode of reproduction of crops in plant breeding?
to determine its genetic composition, which, in turn, is the deciding factor to develop suitable breeding and selection methods.
Why is vegetative propagation used?
1. It is the only means of reproduction in specie's which are seedless, such as banana, figs, etc 2. It is rapid, easier and cheaper compared to seed reproduction. 3. Plants raised through vegetative propagation are exactly like the parent plant. Thus, by vegetative propagation selected vareities of various plants can be maintained without losing their desirable characters. 4. Improved varieties of useful plants can be multiplied easily.
How did knowledge of genotypes affect scientists' efforts to improve plants used for food and clothing?
Before they knew about genotypes, scientists had to rely on selective breeding, which improves phenotypes. Now they can also consider genotypes and pedigrees of plants and the capability to insert desired genes from one plant to another. This has greatly improved their efforts to improve these types of plants.
What are the methods of growing no plants?

What are some methods that man use to grow new plants?
cuttage,grafting and layering are the methods man use to grow new plants
What is the definition of general tillage?
Tillage is manipulation of the soil with tools, methods and implements for getting optimum environmental conditions for seed germination, seeding establishment and growth of plants (crops).
What is conventional plant breeding?
it is the identification and selection of desireble plants of desired charecters
Do all plants need seeds to reproduce?
no some plants use other methods to reproduce
What are the two common methods for planting?
cultinvating and watering the plants
What are the two techniques that are commonly used to incorporate desirable characters in the crop plants?
Hybridization : It is a process of cross-breeding two different varieties of crop plants each having a desired character, to obtain a new a new plant having the desired character .The crossing may be inter varietal, inter-generic or inter specific.Genetic engineering: This technology transfer genes from one organism to another so as to modify the latter. They are called genetically modified organisms or GMOs.
Why were true-breeding pea Plant important for Mendels experiment?
True breeding plants were homozygous for all the characters expressed, hence inheritance of characters was better understood with the help of these plants.
How does solar radiation affect water uptake in plants?
Solar radiation in plants inhance the rate of transpiration. To cope up with the water deficiency in plants roots are desired to uptake more water.
What are the two methods used to make rain?
growing plants and control the pollution
How do higher plants live in dry areas?
By developing xerophytic characters.
