• You are a botanist who has come across a new species of plant.
You discovered this plant while you were conducting research in the
Mojave desert in Southern California. You are going to use
molecular approaches (DNA and RNA sequences) to classify the plant
once you get back to the lab, however, you are also going to
analyze the morphological traits of the plant as well (HINT: This
plant also contains leaves). 1. Describe the cells of ground tissue
— parenchymal, collenchyma, and sclerenchymal — and describe their
typical functions in relation to this plant.
