Essential Idea: Reproduction in flowering plants is influenced by the biotic and abiotic environment.
Understandings:

- The switch to flowering is a response to the length of light and dark periods in many plants.
- Success in plant reproduction depends on pollination, fertilization and seed dispersal.
- Most flowering plants use mutualistic relationships with pollinators in sexual reproduction.
Applications:
- Methods used to induce short-day plants to flower out of season.
Skills:
- Drawing internal structure of seeds.
- Drawing of half-views of animal-pollinated flowers.
- Design of experiments to test hypotheses about factors affecting germination.
