34. In a 1977 article in Science, a botanist reported the strange case of the Tambalacoque tree (Calvaria major)
of the Mauritius Islands in the Indian Ocean. All of the trees appear to be hundreds of years old and date as
seedlings to before the dodo bird became extinct. The seeds of Calvaria are very hard and apparently needed to
pass through the digestive tract of the dodo bird before they would germinate. Therefore, when there were no
more dodo birds, no more young Calvaria trees germinated. Luckily, foresters can artificially scarify the seeds

67. Name and describe several mechanisms by which seeds are dispersed.
68. Contrast the structures of a bean seed and a corn seed.
69. Describe several mechanisms of asexual reproduction in plants.
70. In mammals, an egg fertilized by one sperm divides repeatedly (1-2-4-8-16-32-64, etc.). At the 64-cell
stage, only three cells go on to become the embryo while 61 grow to become the fetal side of the placenta. In
plants, fertilization likewise results in the development of an embryo and nourishing endosperm. However, how
does this process differ from the mammal embryo and placenta?
71. In species of plants that are wind pollinated, describe at least two strategies that plants use to minimize or
prevent self-pollination.
72. In species of plants that carry perfect flowers for insect pollinators, describe at least two strategies that these
plants use to minimize or prevent self-pollination.
73. If pollination by insects and other pollinators was always better than casting pollen to the wind, we could
expect that all plants today would be pollinated by pollinators. They are not. If we note that pine trees as a
group are still wind pollinated, why have they not evolved to utilize pollinators?
74. Some flowering plants have small green flowers that do not attract any insects. Instead, these plants utilize
wind pollination. Remembering that it does take plant energy to form petals, etc., under what conditions would
it be disadvantageous for a flowering plant to use pollinators?
75. How does cell suspension culture differ from regular tissue culture?
