A. The Geiger counter
being used to detect radiation is broken.
B. Two or more samples
we accidentally swapped, causing confusion.
C. A virus contaminated
the reaction in which the probe was made.
D. The human genome
might contain at least one viral gene.
The answer is D. This means that the viral DNA inserted itself
in the human tissue DNA aand became a prophage. A prophage is a latent form of
viral infection where the inserted viral DNA has no interference with the host
cell biochemical processes. The prophage will be present in the daughter cells
of the host cells.
The endosperm is formed through double fertilization where one male gamete nucleus with polar nuclei to form a triploid nucleus called the primary endosperm. The endosperm therefore will contain 15 chromosomes since the polar nuclei is diploid and the male gamete is haploid forming a triploid nucleus.
