Relationships and Biodiversity Assessment

Compare the structural characteristics of the plant samples.

• All the plant samples have similar leaf shapes.

• The plant samples Botana Curus and Species Z have the most structural similarities

• Plants Botana Curus and X look most similar

• The plant samples all have the same flower color.

Compare the structural characteristics of the seed samples.

• The seed samples all have similar shapes and sizes.

• The seed samples of Botana Curus and Z resemble each other the most

• All seed samples are identical in every aspect.

• The seed samples do not have any similar structural characteristics.

Observations of conducting tissue arrangements of stems shows:

• Only Botana Curus and Z are randomly scattered

• BC and Z are Arranged in rings

• They're all arranged scattered

• They're absent in all plants

Based on your data for structural relationships, which species (X, Y, or Z) would you hypothesize is most likely to produce Curol?

• X

• Y

• Z

• None of the above

Test 4—Paper Chromatography To Separate Plant Pigments
Which of the following best describes what you should record in Table 1?

• The colors and relative amounts of pigments

• The temperature of the room

• The type of paper used

• The amount of water used

Record the results of your tests for enzyme M in the data table or in slideshow

• Present in X

• Present only in Botana Curus

• Present in Botana Curus, Y, and Z

• Not present in any plant

What is the final position and size of DNA fragments for Botana curus compared to other species?

• They are identical to all other species

• They are different from all other species

• They are most similar to species Z

• They cannot be determined

The amino acid sequence you obtained from the gene fragment for Botana curus is most similar to which of the following?

• Species Z

• Species X

• Species Y

• All 4 species are equally similar

1. Using the information in the data table, identify which plant is most closely related to Botana curus and therefore most likely to produce Curol. Which plant is it?

• Plant X

• Plant Y

• Plant Z

• Plant W
