Question
Chapter 36.3, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The likely age of a twig that has five sets of bud scale scars.
Introduction: Observing certain characteristics of the plants may help an individual determine the age of the plant. Often twigs are studied to determine the age of the plant by counting the number of bud scale scars. Bud scales are leaves that cover and protect buds of the plant during their development.
