| A seed is a
miracle waiting to happen. The embryo comes pre-packaged
with a food supply and the vital genetic information
needed to become a plant just like its parents. Seeds
exist in a state of dormancy, absorbing oxygen, giving
off carbon dioxide, and slowly using up their stored
food reserves. During this process the seed continually
monitors the external environment waiting for ideal
conditions specific for the particular seed. Once the
ideal conditions occur, the seed breaks dormancy and
germinates.
In this project you
must display different stages of seed germination.
