5 Questions
Which of the following statements about plant development is true?
The genetic control of pattern formation in plant development is different from animal development.
What is the main difference between plant and animal development?
Plants rely more on external cues and hormonal signals for development compared to animals.
What is the significance of the root-shoot axis in plant development?
It influences the genetic control of pattern formation in plant development.
Which of the following is NOT true about the internal organization of a plant module?
It is not influenced by external cues.
What happens during embryonic development in plants?
The root-shoot axis is established and then continues to grow outside the seed.
Study Notes
Plant Development
- Plants have a flexible body plan, which allows for continuous growth and adaptation to the environment.
- The main difference between plant and animal development is that plants have an open system of growth, whereas animals have a closed system of growth.
Plant Body Organization
- The root-shoot axis is significant in plant development as it establishes the polarity of the plant, determining the direction of growth.
Plant Module Organization
- A false statement about the internal organization of a plant module is that it has a fixed pattern of growth.
Embryonic Development in Plants
- During embryonic development in plants, the zygote undergoes multiple cell divisions, forming a spherical mass of cells called the proembryo.
- The proembryo develops into the radicle (primary root) and the hypocotyl (stem), establishing the root-shoot axis.
