Structures mentioned are not involved in reproduction success.

Did not or could not describe/state how and why the structures described affect the species reproduction success.

Not all structures described are involved with the reproduction success of the plant species showing an incomplete understanding of plant reproduction strategies.

Research is assembled into an argument that attempts to describe/explain how and why the organism structures affect the species reproduction success but is somewhat disjointed or lacking organization.

All structures described are involved with the reproduction success of the plant species and include the basic structures that would be needed to reproduce.

Structures provided as examples show an understanding of the basic reproduction strategies among most plant species.

Research is assembled into an argument that contains an organized thought process for both how and why the structures described affect the species reproduction success.

Includes varying structure types from the plant species that show an understanding of the processes of reproduction, but also go beyond the structures directly involved in reproduction to include those that may assist in the reproduction but may not be directly involved.

Research is assembled into a well written argument that contains a clearly organized thought process for both how and why the structures described affect the species reproduction success.
