Inherited and Acquired Traits of Plants

The video explains the difference between inherited and acquired traits in plants. Inherited traits are passed from parent to offspring and include physical characteristics and instinctive behaviors. Examples include daffodils, which inherit traits through bulbs and seeds, and apple trees, which can inherit traits through seeds or grafting. Acquired traits are developed during a plant's lifetime, such as bending towards sunlight for survival. Both types of traits are crucial for the success of plant species.

What are traits in plants?

• Characteristics that make each plant unique

• The height of the plant

• Only the physical appearance of a plant

• The color of the plant's flowers

How do daffodils pass on their genetic information?

• Through their leaves

• By splitting bulbs and forming new ones

• Through their roots

• By changing color

What is grafting in plants?

• A method to change the color of flowers

• A technique to insert a stem section into another plant

• A way to grow plants without sunlight

What is an example of an acquired trait in plants?

• The size of the leaves

• The plant's ability to bend toward the sun

• The color of the flowers

• The type of fruit produced

Why are both inherited and acquired traits important for plants?

• They change the plant's root structure

• They make plants taller

• They help plants survive and thrive

• They determine the plant's color
