Imagine the following scenario: A plant scientist has developed a synthetic chemical

Chapter 29, Problem 13

(choose chapter or problem)

Imagine the following scenario: A plant scientist has developed a synthetic chemical that mimics the effects of a plant hormone. The chemical can be sprayed on apples before harvest to prevent flaking of the natural wax that is formed on the skin. This makes the apples shinier and gives them a deeper color. What kinds of questions do you think should be answered before farmers start using this chemical on apples? How might the scientist go about finding answers to these questions?
