In apple plants,cotyledons protect the shoot of the seedling as it grows.Eventually,the plant becomes a small deciduous tree that produces large pomaceous fruits (the apple).Based on this developmental course,one can infer that
A) apple plants are evergreen. B) the apple lacks apical dominance. C) the apple is a monocot. D) the apple is a eudicot. E) apple hormones are produced by specialized glands.
Seeds of a plant that is native to Mexico are released in mid-spring just as their native habitat is drying out and becoming unfavorably hot.They are dormant after they are released.This example demonstrates that seed dormancy usually helps ensure that
A) the embryo is mature. B) germination occurs at a favorable time. C) seeds germinate near the parent plant. D) levels of abscisic acid are high enough for seed germination. E) many seeds are ready to germinate.
