NOV 2010 P2 Q4- asked by Alicia




Answers are in RED


a i) Fig. 4.1 shows a SEED, so  C is the SEED COAT/TESTA, and D is the PLUMULE (coz radicle come out first)



ii) E is RADICLE coz it come out first :)

b) Other requirements for germination- oxygen- from the air, and water comes from the parent plant (parent plant has roots, xylem... and the seed is still attached to the parent)



c) seedling is not identical to parent (like how we are not identical to our parents) as it is produced by sexual reproduction, and cross pollination could have occurred meaning some genes come from another plant
