The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
This document discusses genetic engineering techniques used to modify ornamental plants. It describes using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation to insert genes like ipt and barnase-barstar into pelargonium plants. The ipt gene driven by the male specific promoter pSAG12 delayed leaf senescence when expressed. Barnase-barstar induced male sterility. Transgenic plants were selected using antibiotic resistance and validated by PCR and phenotypic analysis. GFP was also used as a visual marker for transformation efficiency. Together these techniques allow genetic engineering of important traits in ornamental crops.
This document discusses pollination, which is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower. Pollen grains require an external agent like wind, water, or animals to reach the stigma. There are two main types of pollination: self-pollination, which occurs within the same flower, and cross-pollination, which occurs between different flowers. The shape and form of pollen is related to its method of pollination. Flowers can be complete or incomplete, perfect or imperfect, depending on the presence of floral organs. Imperfect flowers lack some organs and can be staminate or pistillate. Flowers have evolved various methods and adaptations to attract different pol
The document discusses plant reproduction through meiosis and fertilization, mitosis, and vegetative propagation. It begins by explaining that flowering plants bear reproductive organs that undergo meiosis. It then describes the basic parts of flowers including sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. The next sections provide more detail on the process of plant reproduction from pollen and ovule development through double fertilization and seed formation.
DNA is replicated before cell division so each new cell receives a complete copy. The cell cycle consists of interphase, where the cell grows and DNA replicates, and mitosis, where the cell divides. During mitosis, the nucleus divides into two identical nuclei, each containing the full set of chromosomes. Meiosis produces gametes through two cell divisions, resulting in four cells each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. This allows for genetic variation in offspring.
