Question
1. Below are several plant attributes that could be measured. For each attribute, provide one brief of bow it could affect the outcome of competition. There is more than one reasonable answer for description each aspect of growth. The first aspect has been filled in as an example. Plant shoot height-tall plants would be competitively superior at light collection (and thus make more tissue and eventually more offspring than short plants). Total root weight Root to shoot ratio Number of flowers Number of seeds per flower Weight of individual seeds Seed hardness Speed with which seeds germinateExplanation / Answer
Total root weight :show more anchor with soil,hard to pull out from soil and better withstand under harsh conditions.
Root to shoot ratio :Increase in root ratio resulting in more reabsorbation of nutrients from soil. Higher proportion of shoot resulting in more production of energy by photosynthesis.
Number of flower:Increase in number of flower resulting in attraction of large number of insects(increase production of honey) large number of offspring produce.
Number of seed per flower :Increase number of flowers advantage resulting in more production of fruits,seeds, increase in yield.
Weight of individual seed:Heavy seed less likely to be blown away by wind as compare to light weight seeds.
Seed hardness :Hard seed not damaged by abiotic,biotic agents
