Abstract

Why do seeds disperse to form new plants? If the seeds simply fell and grew beneath the parent plants they would be too overcrowded and would be starved of nutrients. So it is important that the seeds are dispersed over a wide area where they stand a better chance of finding the right condition to grow. In this experiment I predicted that the red color of jello would have the highest mean number of seeds removed from the aluminum tin pan. Also, between site 1 and site 2 of jello set out, site 1 would have a higher total number of seeds removed. Basically, for this lab we placed ten oat seeds in five different colors of jello: red, yellow, orange, blue, and green which were molded into an aluminum tin pan. We also had two controls in which there was no jello. We placed the tin pans out onto two experimental sites. For a period of seven days, a group member would go out to the sites (approximately the same time of day) and replace the seeds in each tin pan and......
