Answer: Option D. "electrochemical gradient"

Explanation:

Electrical gradient is defined as the electrical potential acts on an ion that drives it in one or another direction.

Concentration gradient is defined as the movement of particles (solutes) from higher concentration area to lower concentration area, separated by a membrane.

The combination of electrical gradient and a concentration gradient is called electrochemical gradient that allows the movement of an ion across a membrane based on solute concentration.

Hence, the correct option is D.

A researcher has developed two stains for use with seed plants. One stains sporophyte tissue blue; the other stains gametophyte

Answer:

A) The pollen grains will be pure red.

Explanation:

Plants have alternation of generations, this means that there are two different stages in their life-cycle: a sexual haploid (n) phase and an asexual diploid phase (2n). These phases occur in different individuals, so there is an haploid plant called gametophyte that carries gametes and after fecundation, it will rise a diploid sporophyte (asexual).

In seed plants, the sporophyte is the plant that we normally see, and the gametophyte is reduced into an organ of the sporophyte. The male gametophyte is the pollen that is produced in the sporangium in anthers (parts of sporophyte). When a pollen grain fecundes a female gametophyte (egg), it will produce a diploid embryo or new sporophyte.

Therefore, if the researcher exposes pollen to both stains, these grain will stain red, because red stain identifies gametophyte tissue.

What is a gene?

According to Mendel something was being stably passed down, unchanged, from parent to offspring through the gametes, over successive generations. He called these things as ‘factors’ now called as genes. Genes, therefore, are the units of inheritance.
They contain the information that is required to express a particular trait in an organism.
Genes which code for a pair of contrasting traits are known as alleles, i.e., they are slightly different forms of the same gene.
There is no ambiguity that the genes are located on the DNA, it is difficult to literally define a gene in terms of DNA sequence.

The DNA sequence coding for tRNA or rRNA molecule also defines a gene. A cistron is defined as a segment of DNA coding for a polypeptide, the structural gene in a transcription unit could be said as monocistronic (mostly in eukaryotes) or polycistronic (mostly in bacteria or prokaryotes).
