Apples

If you were to cut an apple in half cross sectionally you would find that an apple has five compartments. Each of these compartments should include a seed in order for the apple to be full sized and well shaped as the seeds produce hormones which allow the fruit to develop. Fruit which lack seeds often abort from the tree in times of stress. Varieties can have more than one seed in each carpel depending on the health and vigor of the tree. The healthier a tree is, the more potential seed the fruit can have per carpel.

If you want to produce a certain type of apple it is not probable to do this by planting a seed from the wanted type. The seed will have DNA from the apple that the seeds came from, but it will also have DNA from the apple flower that pollinated the seeds, which may well be a different type. This means that the tree which would grow from planting would be a mixture of two. In order to grow a certain type of apple, a small twig, or 'scion', is cut from the tree that grows the type of apple desired, and then added on to a specially grown stump called a rootstock. The tree that grows will only create apples of the type needed.

*Plants usually produce far more seeds than are needed. This is because many seeds don't survive and grow to maturity.

yes bacause when you get beneth the rocks there is top soil hen there is sub soil i sppose there wouldn't be anyway to have bugs eating the plants so yup u can grow an apple in a river

no but fufu does

Grape. The others have large seeds at their core. Grapes have many small seeds.

I don't know, I clicked on this wanting the answer. Not wanting to answer it.

No. A decomposer breaks down dead substances. an apple doesn't.

D'Anjou is a popular winter pear due to its mild, sweet flavor and abundant juice. Neither the red or green variety changes color when ripe so the best way to tell when an D'Anjou is ready is to press gently against the stem end of the fruit. If it gives slightly, your D'Anjou is ripe and ready to be eaten.

Yes, this is normal for granny smith apples, it has something to do with cold temperatures while ripening on the tree

i think that the ochro leaf is a compound leaf

I am a scientist and it has been proven through numerous types of experiments in the state of Arizona, that it is actually a fruit. As a stem is narrow and attaches the fruit to its tree. Many people disagree as shown on other websites information. But over the past 6 months we have been testing, and recently on the 27th March 2011 it was confirmed to be a fruit not a stem. Many people are in disbelief and disagreement but it is the logical, scientifical classification of an apple.

Apples will be good refrigerated up to two months, although they may become softer as they age. You'll know when it's time throw them out because you'll begin to see brown spots appearing on them.

8 inches

Definitely, chicken wings, followed by a close second, buffalo wings! For those who don't eat meat (and are a little shorter because of the lack of protein), they like cheese wings. I like cookie dough for a movie snack. Also vanilla frosting but not too much.

An apple is a source of natural sugar, and just one apple in the morning can keep you more alert than a cup of Coca-Cola or coffee and the saying an apple a day keeps the doctor away is referring to the dentist since it has natural sugar it is better for you than sweets.

Most of them don't fall far from the tree.

If you eat to many apple stumps you will die. This is because of small dosages of poison in them... no worries: you would need to eat a LOT.

Alar was a fruit spray containing the chemical daminozide. Alar was used as a pesticide and sprayed on fruit, mainly apples, during the 60's, 70's and 80's. The concern of the effects from Alar began in the 80's. In 1986, traces of the chemical from Alar was found in applesauce and apple juice. Doctors began urging the Environmental Protection Agency to ban Alar at that time because Alar was shown to cause cancer in the laboratory of animals. It wasn't until 1989 when CBS ran a story on the harmful effects of Alar that the EPA finally stepped in and banned the fruit spray.

I get it from the gas station:)

Paper University e-Newsletter: September/October 2001 FEATURE STORY Celebrate Johnny Appleseed's Birthday on September 26th! September 26th marks the birthday of American folk hero Johnny Appleseed, one of the most altruistic men America has ever seen. Born on Sept. 26, 1774 in Leominster, Massachusetts, Johnny Appleseed's real name was John Chapman. In the late 1780's, he set out alone in a canoe to plant orchards of apple trees along the frontier. Everywhere he went, he gave settlers and pioneers apple seeds and saplings to take home to plant in their own orchards. He traveled all over Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, refusing to sleep indoors, planting thousands of apple trees throughout the Midwest. Johnny Appleseed is described as scrupulously honest, deeply religious, and with a sense of humor. He quickly became a popular folk hero in the region, and is said to have worn a tin pot as a hat, a coffee sack as a shirt, and no shoes. He died March 18, 1845 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and is buried there at Archer Cemetery. ACTIVITIES Planting Apple Seeds Your class can follow the tradition of Johnny Appleseed by growing an apple tree of its own. Plant your tree on Earth Day next April! Here's how: Remove the seeds from your favorite variety of apple. You may try two to three different varieties of apples to see which grows best. Chill the seeds in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about six weeks. After chill period, take a small container, make a drainage hole in bottom and fill with potting soil. Place 2 to 3 apple seeds on top of the soil and cover with another 1/8" of soil. Water lightly but do not over-saturate. Place container in a shallow dish and place in a sunny spot. Cover container with a clear jar or glass or a clear sandwich bag to create a moist environment. Keep the seeds moist by watering from the bottom until the seeds germinate. Seeds will germinate in 2-3 weeks in the summertime, or up to 8 weeks in the wintertime. Once the seedling sprouts, remove the jar but do not let the plant dry out. Continue to nurture your sprouts indoors until they are large enough to survive outdoors. When your tree is 8"-10" tall, you may plant it outside in a sunny spot with plenty of room to grow. Late spring is the best time. Keep plenty of mulch around the base, and water the tree regularly. Protect it during the winter with a light covering. ...more

bear in mind "jonny" grew apples for cider, if you wand a good eating apple its best to buy one or graft it. a tree grown from seed may not be very good, it may even be horrible (or you could get lucky) nor will it bear fruit for at least 5 years and will only bear fruit on the parts of the tree that grew after 5 years

they are quite delicious. I'm Asian. i love them.

The internal bacteria that are spoiling or decomposing the rotting apple spread to adjoining, healthy apples and start spoiling those apples before they would begin to spoil on their own. That's why we separate spoiling and overripe food as often as possible -- to minimize the spread of the spoiling bacteria.

I can not answer that question because that is the question I AM ASKING YOU!!

This vary from apple to apple, and also very much between the type of apple.

Most apples have between 8-12 seeds, but some have less, others have many many more.

The amount of seeds may vary with the condition of the tree, and the growth year also. If it is a particularily bad year, then there might be more seeds and fewer apples. In a good year, the apples will be bigger and have fewer seeds.

Yes, strictly speaking, fruits are a means for flowering plants to distribute their seed through animal dung. It is quite likely that some of our ancestors were animals that primarily subsisted on fruit for their diets. Fruit predates humanity and human history, and is as such "pre-historic".

It is a cam used in motorcycles that makes the object have wierd spin

Homemade applesauce is brown with a hint of red in it if you leave the skins on the apples. The kind you buy from the store never has the skins on while the apples are cooking; therefore the applesauce turns out yellow. My mom makes applesauce all the time, so I know all about homemade applesauce. :-)
