o Asexual reproduction Asexual reproduction involves only one parent individual‚ be in plant or animal. Asexual reproduction has many advantages. It is safe‚ certain (there are no problems of finding a receptive mate) and can give rise to large numbers of offspring very rapidly. The offspring produces are almost all genetically identical to the parent organism‚ and so a successful genetic combination can be passed on without change. This is an important advantage of asexual reproduction until living

different concentrations of salt water effect plants. The test that will be performed will prove which concentration will have the worst effect. The hypothesis is that by measuring the plants growth each day‚ the largest concentration of salt will harm the plants the most. First‚ the plants were purchased and the water was prepared with the salt concentrations. Second‚ the plants were watered each day with the different concentrations of salt. Third‚ the plants’ growth were observed and recorded each

A plants volatile organic compound (VOC) composition is the hand that swats unwanted visitors‚ welcomes visitation from much needed pollinators‚ and the substantial determinant in a plants identity and overall evolutionary fitness within the plant community. Understanding the mechanics of volatile formation is essential in interpreting their importance in plant life‚ and in plant-animal interactions. A huge allocation of energy is assumed to be given to the production of volatiles‚ and is therefore

affect plant growth could be an interesting experiment. Our experiment consisted of different levels of Windex mixed with water and given to Brassica Rapa plants in order to grow. Are results showed that Windex barely had an effect on the plant growth and the plants showed steady increase in growth. In conclusion‚ our experiment did not assure that Windex add a boost in plant growth but we did find that small‚ insignificant amounts of Windex mixed with water were able to ingested by the plants.

The uses of plants in developing and producing vaccines For thousands of years‚ society has been brought to the brink of disaster thanks to the spread of resilient diseases and the plague of hardy viruses. However‚ humans have been aware for just as long of medicinal defence mechanisms against these ailments.
