Which tissue can NOT divide to give rise to identical progeny in a plant that reproduces asexually?

Arabidopsis plants with a mutation in the gene embryonic Flower (EMF) produce flowers almost immediately after germination, before shoot growth occurs.What is the normal role of this gene?

Competence means that a plant is _________, while determination means that a plant tissue __________.The acquisition of flowering competence is an example of a __________.

Which of the following statements about the epicotyl is true?

Dandelions develop seeds by apomixis.What benefits does this strategy provide over vegetative or sexual reproduction?

Why do many plants use the photoperiodic pathway to regulate the timing of flower formation?

A genus of primarily wind-pollinated plants includes one unusual species that has evolved to be pollinated by insects.Several morphological changes have accompanied this adaptation.The ______________ are more colorful, there is a nectary at the base of the ______________, the ________________ are shorter and produce sticky pollen, and the __________________ are stickier for enhanced pollen capture.
