(Solved)
The relationship between seed fresh mass in the lupin lupinus and percentage seed germination, percentage seedling survival and seedling fresh mass is shown in the table.
a) How was percentage germination in column two of the table calculated?
b) Why was seed fresh mass preferred to seed dry mass to take measurements of the seed weight in the experiment
c)
i) Explain why the measurements of mean seedling fresh mass (5) weeks after germinated may not have been an accurate measurement of growth that had occurred.
ii) How could more meaningful and accurate measurement been obtained in c(i) above?
d) With reference to the figures in the taste indicate the relationship between seed fresh mass and percentage seed germination, percentage seedling survival and seedling fresh mass.
e) Suggest an explanation why seedling produced from large seeds grow more rapidly than the
seedling produced from small seeds
