What part of plant is used to propagate maize?
Maize is propagated using its seeds, which are the fertilized ovules of the plant. Each seed contains the embryo and the necessary nutrients for the initial growth of the new plant. When planted in the soil, these seeds germinate and develop into new maize plants.
Is mealies a stem?
No, mealies, also known as maize or corn, are not a stem; they are the seeds of the maize plant. The edible part of the plant is the kernel, which grows on ears that develop on the plant's stalk (stem). The stalk supports the plant and transports nutrients, but the mealies themselves are the reproductive structures that can grow into new maize plants.
Does maize plants have flowers?
Yes, maize plants do have flowers. Maize, also known as corn, is a monocotyledonous plant that produces both male flowers (tassels) and female flowers (ears) on the same plant. The tassels are located at the top of the plant and produce pollen, while the ears develop lower on the plant and contain the ovules that will develop into kernels of corn once fertilized.
Which deinition of germ deals with growing plants?
In the context of growing plants, a germ can refer to the part of a seed that begins to grow into a new plant, such as the embryonic plant enclosed within a seed coat. Germ can also be used to describe a small microorganism that causes plant diseases.
What is a plant that looses its leaves at the end of the growing season called?
A plant that loses its leaves at the end of the growing season is called deciduous. Deciduous plants shed their leaves as part of their natural life cycle in response to changes in environmental conditions like decreasing daylight and temperatures.
Growing of a new plant from part of another plant?
Asexual propagation
Is maize a flowering plant?
Maize or corn is a monocotyledonous flowering plant. At the top of the stalk is the tassel which represents the cluster of male flowers. The female part is the "cob" that emerges from the axil of a leaf. Maize actually produces ears of corn. The ear consists of the grains of corn attached to the cob, the silk that transfers the pollen to the grains and the shuck that protects the rest of the ear.
What plant reproduce by leaf?
Plants like African violets, jade plants, and spider plants can reproduce by leaf propagation. This involves taking a leaf or part of a leaf from the plant and encouraging it to develop roots, eventually growing into a new plant.
Can you describe three different types of asexual reproduction in plants?
Three types of asexual reproduction in plants are fragmentation, budding, and vegetative propagation. Fragmentation occurs when a part of the plant breaks off and grows into a new plant. Budding involves a new plant growing from a bud on the parent plant. Vegetative propagation involves the growth of new plants from specialized plant parts like roots, stems, or leaves.
What part of the plant supports the leaves and plants?
Stem.
What plant does a sweetcorn come from?
They are the fruit/seed pod. They grow from a fluffy bud part.
What part of the plant produces cells?
The growing tip, the "apical meristem".
