Detailed explanation-1: -Plants, like all other known living organisms, pass on their traits using DNA. Plants however are unique from other living organisms in the fact that they have chloroplasts. Like mitochondria, chloroplasts have their own DNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -Correct answer: Flower color, flower position, seed color, seed shape, and leaf pattern. Explanation: Plants inherit traits from their parents that give them their characteristics and appearance.
Detailed explanation-3: -In general, the morphological damage observed in vascular plants in response to heat stress include leaf and branch burn, foliar senescence and abscission, inhibition of shoot and root growth, discoloration and fruit damage.
Detailed explanation-4: -Temperature influences most plant processes, including photosynthesis, transpiration, respiration, germination and flowering. As temperature increases (up to a point), photosynthesis, transpiration and respiration increase.
