The true statement about the relationship between true moss sporophytes and gametophytes is: (d) Sporophytes are parasites of gametophytes.

Sporophyte is the part of the life cycle in plants where the plants are asexual and in diploid phase of their life. The plants produce spores during this stage. In vascular plants sporophyte is the dominant stage of life.

Parasites are the organisms that live inside or outside an organism and depend upon that organism for their food as well. Apart from extracting food, the parasites also provide some kind of harm to the host they live in. Sporophytes are called parasites because they directly developed from the fertilized egg in archegonia.

The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Considering that the mature sporophytes of true mosses get their nutrition from the gametophytes on which they grow, and considering these generations as individual plants, what is true of the relationship between true moss sporophytes and gametophytes?

a. Sporophytes are endosymbionts of gametophytes.

b. Sporophytes are mutualists of gametophytes.

c. Sporophytes are commensalist of gametophytes.

d. Sporophytes are parasites of gametophytes.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sequencing the human genome is the function of the human genome project with the goal of determining the base pairs/order of DNA nucleotides that make up human genome, and also identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome both from the physical level and its functions in molecular medicine. The benefits in this field could allow for better diagnosis of disease, early detection of certain diseases, and gene therapy and control systems for drugs.

Inborn errors of metabolism are rare genetic (inherited) disorders where the body cannot properly digest and turn food into energy through the normal pathway. The disorders are usually caused by mutations in specific enzymes that help in the break down of these foods.

Through the study of the human genome, sequences involved in these mutations giving rise to these disorders are identified and mapped to their variuos locations. This can help in the early diagnosis of the disorders and effective control system for drugs and gene therapy against these disorders.

After performing a gram stain of a mixed culture of gram positive and gram negative cells, you shout: "oops, i forgot the iodine
zalisa [80]

Gram's staining is a differential staining technique that employs a primary stain like crystal violet and a counter stain like safranin along with the decolourizing agent alcohol and a mordant called the Gram's iodine.

Iodine is a mordant added after the primary stain. It fixes the stain by combining with it to enchance the staining ability. This forms an insoluble crystal violet iodine complex appearing purple under the microscope. These microorganisms are classified as Gram positive.

If addition of iodine is skipped, crystal violet is not fixed on the slide and the insoluble complex is not formed. The cells are decolourized by alcohol and are stained by the counter stain safranin making the Gram positive cells wrongly indentified as Gram negative due to its pink colouration. Thus, the slide will show all the cells as pink coloured Gram negative cells.
