What is the purpose of the fruit that develops on a flowering plant?

Biology

agasfer [191]3 years ago

The primary purpose of fruit that develops on flowering plants is protection  and dispersal of seed.

A fruit is a seed container that develops from an ovary and any of the tissues that surround it.  Fruits are products of flowers and will therefore be found only in flowering plants.

The fruit protects the developing seed and aids in the dispersal of fully developed seeds which is accomplished by animals when they are attracted the fruit and eat it, walk off and defecate out the seeds elsewhere.

Fruits that develop from other flower parts apart from the ovary are called accessory fruits (pomes) e.g.  melons and squash

Are Parakeets good starter pets? why or why not
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

NO! They require a ton of attention, a large cage, and experience with birds. Parakeets are often marked as starter pets, but no, they are not.

First, they need a 3 feet long cage with 5+ toys that need to be changed each month. And they need natural perches, not the cheap wooden dowels, they will get feet problems. Most people don't do this, having a bored pet.

Second, parakeets will chew anything given/available to them, and a lot of things can be toxic to them, which can lead to the death of your pet.

Third, parakeets are messy and noisy. They poop a LOT and love to toss seeds around their cage. They also need millet and a calcium chew, which are also messy.

They also will want a friend, they are flock animals in the wild so 3-4 birds is a good number, but getting more birds means getting a large cage. The pet store will tell you it's fine, but it is not. ALWAYS SEEK HELP FROM A BIRD BREEDER.

Lastly, they need a bird proofed room to fly around in. No matter how large your cage is, they still need some out-of cage time.

Try a dove or pigeon instead, they are listen the #1 easiest and cheapest to care for pet bird.

Why does a pea plant with the genotype Rr produce some gametes that have the allele for round seeds?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - due to the law of segregation.

Explanation:

In the given case the genotype of Rr and as we know R is a dominant characteristic for round seeds and r represents the recessive allele for wrinkled seeds in a pea plant. So if a plant has Rr in its genotype it means it is a phenotypically round pea plant due to dominance in this heterozygous case.

The law of segregation states that two alleles of a gene of a specific trait will be distributed randomly and there is an equal chance of each allele to end up in the gametes, similarly in this case both alleles can be segregated to gametes and it is a random process.

On Earth is born Origins Nova
AURORKA [14]
Mars is just a fraction the size of the Earth, so it cooled more rapidly. And as it cooled, its molten iron core hardened. As a result, Mars stopped generating its magnetic shield. And, according to one theory, this left its atmosphere to be scoured away by the solar wind.
