Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The graph shows that the concentration of both hormones increases after rain. This suggests that the seeds are stimulated to germinate by the rain. Therefore, it is likely that the seeds that are still in the desert will be germinating if it has rained again in the few days since the scientist last collected seeds.
