BSC 226 – 03 Lab November 22,2000 Germination and Early Growth of Three Angiosperms Instructor: Introduction: In this experiment, we will observe and record the growing patterns of three different species of angiosperms (corn, bean, mustards) for 11 weeks. At the beginning of the experiment we plant numerous seeds from each species in the same pot. In hopes that at least two of each species would germinate. After germination, if more than two of each species grew we then picked …showed first 75 words of 774 total…

…showed last 75 words of 774 total…until the eighth week. They shot up to thirteen inches in height, that was a 9 inch growth spurt in one week. The mustard grew ten leaves total during the experiment but lost three so only ended up with seven leaves at the end of my experiment. Another amazing event happened in the growing of my mustards. In the ninth week they started having blooms. This was very exciting because everyone’s plants did not bloom.
