Understandings:
- Flowering involves a change in gene expression in the shoot apex.
- The switch to flowering is a response to the length of light and dark periods in many plants.
- Success in plant reproduction depends on pollination, fertilization and seed dispersal.
- Most flowering plants use mutualistic relationships with pollinators in sexual reproduction.
- Methods used to induce short-day plants to flower out of season.
- Drawing internal structure of seeds.
- Drawing of half-views of animal-pollinated flowers.
- Design of experiments to test hypothesis about factors affecting germination.
- Paradigm shift-more than 85% of the world’s 250,000 species of flowering plant depend on pollinators for reproduction. This knowledge has led to protecting entire ecosystems rather than individual species.
