In a newly fertilized egg, the vitelline layer lifts away from the egg and hardens to form a fertilization envelope.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A.

<h3>What is vitelline layer?</h3>
  • Vitelline layer or vitelline membrane (VM) is a structure that surrounds the outer surface of the plasma membrane of an egg or ovum. In some organisms (e.g.: birds), the vitelline layer surrounds the extracellular yolk and the ovum.
  • It is multilayered and functions to protect and give shape to the egg yolk and separate it from the egg white.
  • VM consists of protein fibers and protein receptors necessary for sperm binding.
  • As its function is to provide support and protection to the yolk, after fertilization, the vitelline layer gets hardened and separated from the yolk to form fertilization envelope.

Researchers want to use eDNA to look for an invasive species in a waterway. Which step should they do first?
solniwko [45]
I think the correct answer would be option A. If researchers want to use eDNA to look for an invasive species in a waterway, then the first they should do would be to collect water samples from the waterway in question. In any experimental research, it is always collecting samples the first step before getting any results. You cannot execute experiments without any samples and consequently you will not have any results. For this problem, the researchers would not be able to stain the gel, compare the samples and cut the DNA when samples from the waterway are not collected.
