Seed dispersal: data analysis

Pupils will learn about what the genome is, what it’s made of and where it’s stored, more detail about the chemical structure of DNA, and the relationship between an organism’s genome and its phenotype.

Pupils learned about changes experienced in puberty, the male and female reproductive systems, the menstrual cycle, sexual intercourse, gametes and fertilisation, gestation and birth, and the dangers of smoking, drinking and drugs during pregnancy.

This unit explores plant reproduction, including flower structure, pollination, fertilisation, seed formation, and dispersal mechanisms. It highlights the role of insect pollination in food security. Focus is on planning and conducting enquiries, and ensuring reliable observations.

What would be the dependent variable in an investigation into watering frequency on the height of sunflowers?

If you are investigating watering frequency on plant height, what variables would you need to control?

Which of the following are true about seeds?

True or false? Seeds contain a food store.
