Question

1. a class designs an experiment in which seeds from the same species of flowers are divided into three different pots. each pot has the same amount of soil, water, sunlight, and fertilizers. the ph of pot #1 is just below 7, and the flowers that grow are yellow. the ph of pot #2 is greater than 7, and the flowers that grew are yellow. the ph of pot #3 is neutral, and the flowers that grew are white. which statement does not explain the results of the experiment? soil ph can influence gene expression in certain flowering plants. the color of the experimental flowers can be influenced by external factors. all flowering plants will produce blossoms with different shades due to soil ph. the experimental plants produced purple, white, and yellow flowers.

Explanation:

The experiment shows soil pH can affect flower - color in certain plants (as seen with the different colors in pots with different pH levels). The statement "All flowering plants will produce blossoms with different shades due to soil pH" is an over - generalization. Just because it happened with this one species of flower in the experiment doesn't mean it's true for all flowering plants. The other statements are either supported by the experiment or are simple observations about the experiment.

Answer:

All flowering plants will produce blossoms with different shades due to soil pH.
