Explore C Ferns start as spores and germinate into males and hermaphrodites. The hermaphrodites control the gender of spores around it. When matured a male can fertilize a hermaphrodite with sperm or a hermaphrodite can fertilize itself.
Research Question If we change the wavelength of light will the C Ferns grow at different paces?
Predictions The higher wavelength of light will make the spores grow denser and faster because it is closer to visible light.
Experimental Design We have four dishes, each exposed to different wavelengths of light. we measure the estimated amount of c ferns and the physical size of the hermaphrodites.
Conclusion Conclusion: We found that the C ferns covered in red foil grew the quickest and densest, like we predicted because the wavelength of light used for the ferns to grow was still able to get to the ferns and let them grow.
