How are pollen grains carried to female gametes in seed plants?
pollen can be transferred in many ways: On animals fur, bees, butterflys.
What is the purpose of a seed dispersal?
It is to allow offspring to be spread over a larger area. This would mean that the individual plant itself will be able to absorb more nutrients as there will be less competition for sunlight, water and oxygen. Methods of dispersal include water, wind or clinging onto clothing on men and fur on animals.
In certain rats black fur is dominant over white fur If two rats both heterozygous for fur color are mated their offspring would be expected to have?
There different genotypes and two different colors Black fur is dominant --> F White fur is recessive --> f The parents are bot Ff (heterozygotes, and because black fur is dominant they have a black fur). If they mate, you get parents: Ff x Ff Offspring: FF Ff Ff ff so 25% will be homozygous for Black fur 2x25=50% will be heterozygous, and have a Black fur and 25% wil be homozygous for White fur. Hence, of their offspring, 75% will have a black fur and 25% will have a white fur
What is the adaptations for the burdock seed?
It prefers full sun or partial shade. The hooked tips of the phyllaries that make up the involucre are an adaptation for seed dispersal. Animals that pass by a mature seed head often pick up and disperse the seeds as the hooked tips grasp onto the animal's fur, and later fall off spreading the seed to new locations.
How seeds are dispersed by animals?
I have a cat who is constantly coming in with burrs in his fur. He leaves burrs in my bed, on the carpet, anywhere he spends time.As he moves through weeds outside, the burrs, which have tiny hooks (like Velcro) get caught in his fur. As he continues moving - hunting, scratching, fighting - those burrs get redistributed along with his fur. Some find fertile soil while others end up in my laundry! *ouch*
Why do some plants have seeds that are inside burs?
A bur, thorn or other obstruction on a seed coat protects the seed from being rendered unviable because animals are deterred from eating the seed and subjecting it to harsh digestive juices. Burs, or sticky, prickly seed coatings also allow the seed to be carried afar by animals who brush against the bur and get it stuck on their fur.
What is the most likely seed dispersal mechanism for a seed with hooks?
Catch in animal fur I believe
What is the most likely seed dispersal mechanism for a seed with a hook?
Catch in animal fur I believe
How do animals help in seed dispersal process?
Animals eat fruit and pass the seeds through the digestive system, which helps break down the seed coat and induces germination of the seed. Animals transport seeds that are stuck to their fur/feathers. Animals shake/ruffle about plants which causes seeds to fall from the tree/plant.
Why does a goldenrod have spiky structures?
so it can stick to the animals fur
What plant has seed pods that get caught in animal fur and on human clothing?
parts of a fruit that attach to an animal's fur for dispersal
Is a dog a land animal with hair?
The dog is obviously a land animal with fur, for fur and hair have different atom structures.
How is a teasel seed dispersed?
The spiky seed will entangle itself into the fur of an animal that is passing by and then fall off some distance away.
How burdock seed dispersed?
Burdock seeds are dispersed by animal fur. These burdock seeds have little hooks on them which allows them to "catch" onto the fur.
What was the role of the Canadian fur trade?
The role of the Canadian fur trade was to allow the natives to trade fur pelts for goods, with the europeans.
What happens in a seed dispersal animal?
They explode and the seeds go into different areas. What also happens is that the seeds also have little wing like tips that leave them then allowing the seed to drop. from there germination begins from a ten year old mariojackman
What structures in mammals can make them survive in different types of environment?
The mamals fur, armor and, skill
