Scavenger Hunt: 31-35

35. Genetic Variations within a Population
In this picture, you can see the same species of flowers. However, the physical colors of them are different. This shows a genetic variation.



34. Difference between Monocots and Dicots
In this picture, the grass is a monocot while the carrot is the dicot. A monocot is any of various flowering plants, such as grasses, orchids, and lilies, having a single cotyledon in the seed. A dicot hsd two cotyledons and the stem grows by deposit on its outside.


33. Gymnosperm Cone
This is a picture of a gymnosperm cone. Their female sex germs reside in ovules, as in regular flowers, but the ovules themselves are not enclosed within the flower's ovaries, as they are among flowering plants.


32. Flower Ovary
A flower ovary is an ovary in a part of the female reproductive organ of the flower or gynoecium. In this picture, I zoomed in so the inside of this flower's reproductive organs are visible.


31. Cuticle Layer of a Plant
This is a cuticle layer of a plant. The cuticle layer is a protective layer covering the outer cell layer (epidermis) of the green, aerial parts of land plants. Cuticles protect plants against various kinds of physical and chemical hazzards.
