Learn how getting into nature can help Their estimate found you would need to scour just 1.2 square metres to find a four-leaf clover.
Using that ratio of 1:10,000, Scientific American calculated the area of clover patch you’d need to search in order to find a four-leaf clover of your own. It kept both sets of chromosomes, hence its four-leaf appearance.
The short story is that the four-leaf clover once tried to split to become a number of separate species-in the end, it didn’t go through with the full genetic process and instead continued reproducing as a mutated white clover. According to Wired, the “allo” part comes from the fact that “each pair of the white clover’s chromosomes comes from a different species.” A genetic anomalyĪs much as pop culture has associated four-leaf clovers with leprechauns and superstition, there’s actually a clear scientific explanation for their origin. “Tetra” means four and “ploid” means chromosome. If you look closely, the definition of an allotetraploid is actually in its name. An allotetraploid is any species that has four sets of chromosomes-for context, humans and most other plant and animal species have two sets. The four-leaf clover is an allotetraploid If you’re wondering about the luckiest location for four-leaf clover foraging, your best bet is moist, temperate areas with plenty of fertile soil. The famous four-leaf clover is actually a mutation of the normal three-leaf white clover. The species name comes from the colour of the clover’s flower, as opposed to the number of leaves. We only have three here in Canada: the red, white, and alsike clover. Here are a few facts you may not know about that difficult-to-find plant: There are more than 300 species of clovers worldwide That means we’re fixing our gaze on the emblematic four-leaf clover. Patrick’s Day, and the Nature Canada team is pondering some of the more nature-oriented elements of the occasion.
