flower wars

Examples of flower wars in the following topics:

• Angiosperm Flowers

  • The peduncle attaches the flower to the plant.
  • Flower structure is very diverse.
  • This image depicts the structure of a flower.
  • Perfect flowers produce both male and female floral organs.
  • The flower shown has only one carpel, but some flowers have a cluster of carpels.

• Phenotypes and Genotypes

  • When true-breeding plants in which one parent had white flowers and one had violet flowers were cross-fertilized, all of the F1 hybrid offspring had violet flowers .
  • The characteristics included plant height, seed texture, seed color, flower color, pea pod size, pea pod color, and flower position.
  • Regardless of how many generations Mendel examined, all self-crossed offspring of parents with white flowers had white flowers, and all self-crossed offspring of parents with violet flowers had violet flowers.
  • The resulting hybrids in the F1 generation all had violet flowers.
  • In the F2 generation, approximately three-quarters of the plants had violet flowers, and one-quarter had white flowers.

• Pollination by Insects

  • A nectar guide includes regions on the flower petals that are visible only to bees, which help guide bees to the center of the flower, thus making the pollination process more efficient.
  • The pollen sticks to the bees' fuzzy hair; when the bee visits another flower, some of the pollen is transferred to the second flower.
  • Many flowers will remain unpollinated, failing to bear seeds if honeybees disappear.
  • They are found on the corpse flower or voodoo lily (Amorphophallus), dragon arum (Dracunculus), and carrion flower (Stapleia, Rafflesia).
  • Moths, on the other hand, pollinate flowers during the late afternoon and night.

• Genetic Control of Flowers

  • Flower development is the process by which angiosperms produce a pattern of gene expression in meristems that leads to the appearance of a flower.
  • A flower (also referred to as a bloom or blossom) is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants .
  • the flowers individual organs must grow (modeled using the ABC model)
  • Many perennial and most biennial plants require vernalization to flower.
  • Mature flowers aid in reproduction for the plant.

• Art of Esoteric Buddhism

  • The Heian period witnessed a flowering of Buddhist art and architecture and the introduction of Esoteric Buddhism to Japan.
  • The term Heian period refers to the years between 794 and 1185, when the Kamakura shogunate was established at the end of the Genpei War.
  • The Heian period witnessed a flowering of Buddhist art and architecture and the introduction of Esoteric Buddhism to Japan.

• Pollination by Bats, Birds, Wind, and Water

  • Flowers visited by birds are usually sturdy and are oriented in a way to allow the birds to stay near the flower without getting their wings entangled in the nearby flowers.
  • Unlike the typical insect-pollinated flowers, flowers adapted to pollination by wind do not produce nectar or scent.
  • The pollen is deposited on the exposed feathery stigma of the flower.
  • When it comes into contact with the flower, it is deposited inside the flower.
  • Orchids are highly-valued flowers, with many rare varieties.

• Garden Pea Characteristics Revealed the Basics of Heredity

  • Regardless of how many generations Mendel examined, all self-crossed offspring of parents with white flowers had white flowers, and all self-crossed offspring of parents with violet flowers had violet flowers.
  • Once these validations were complete, Mendel applied the pollen from a plant with violet flowers to the stigma of a plant with white flowers.
  • He allowed the F1 plants to self-fertilize and found that, of F2-generation plants, 705 had violet flowers and 224 had white flowers.
  • This was a ratio of 3.15 violet flowers per one white flower, or approximately 3:1.
  • For this same characteristic (flower color), white-colored flowers are a recessive trait.

• Sexual Reproduction in Angiosperms

  • Flowers contain the plant's reproductive structures.
  • A flower may have one or multiple carpels.
  • There are two types of incomplete flowers: staminate flowers contain only an androecium; and carpellate flowers have only a gynoecium .
  • The (a) lily is a superior flower, which has the ovary above the other flower parts.
  • (b) Fuchsia is an inferior flower, which has the ovary beneath other flower parts.

• Literature

  • Influenced by the first World War, American modernist writers, such as Ernest Hemingway, offered an insight into the psychological wounds and spiritual scars of the war experience.
  • At the same time, jazz and dancing rose in popularity, in opposition to the specter of World War I.
  • All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque recounts the horrors of World War I and also the deep detachment from German civilian life felt by many men returning from the front.
  • Scott Fitzgerald portrays the lives and morality of post–World War I youth.
  • The zenith of this "flowering of Negro literature," as James Weldon Johnson preferred to call the Harlem Renaissance, was placed between 1924 (the year that Opportunity: A Journal of Negro Life hosted a party for black writers where many white publishers were in attendance) and 1929 (the year of the stock market crash and the beginning of the Great Depression).

• Pollination and Fertilization

  • Self-pollination occurs when the pollen from the anther is deposited on the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant.
  • Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on a different individual of the same species.
  • These flowers make self-pollination nearly impossible.
  • By the time pollen matures and has been shed, the stigma of this flower is mature and can only be pollinated by pollen from another flower.
  • Primroses have evolved two flower types with differences in anther and stigma length: the pin-eyed flower and the thrum-eyed flower.
