Question

Which example describes an adaptation of a blueberry plant in the summer? Buds begin to form. The leaves turn red. The plant is dormant. Berries and leaves are fully grown.

Answer 1

Answer:

Berries and leaves are fully grown.

Explanation:

Blueberry plants are native to the northern hemisphere and belong to the Vaccinium genera and Ericaceae family.

They are deciduous shrubs that that are grown in cold-weather regions. They exhibit winter dormancy, which they induce with exposure to hours of cold.

If the winter is not hard, the plants might flower during this season, but if not, they do it at the beginning of the spring.

Blueberry plants can adapt to variable climatic conditions. However, temperatures lower than 5ºC might damage the buds. And temperatures over 36ºC might also damage the fruits.

Sunny summers favor the fruit quality and avoid pathogen development.

The collecting season varies according to the plant variety, but usually, harvests are done from late spring to late summer.

During the autumn, leaves turn reddish before falling, and buds develop once the vegetative growth is over.
