Answer:

The correct answer would be "The female cone releases its seeds and new sporophytes grow".  

Conifers are sporophytes with two types of cones; pollen cones and ovulate cone.

The pollen cones are smaller in size and produce microspores which would develop into the pollen grains.

The ovulate cones are larger in size which produce megaspores which would develop into ovule.

The two gametes fertilized to produce a diploid zygote which develops into the embryo.

The fertilization takes place in the ovule and thus, embryo or seed is developed in the female cone.

The female cone then releases its seed which grows into a new sporophyte.

How many and what are the processes that seed plants use to reproduce.
Luba_88 [7]
Plants reproduce through the process of fertilisation. Fertilisation is the process where female and male cells join together to form an embryo inside the seed. The seed protects the embryo in preparation for germination when conditions permit the plant to produce new plants.

Seed plants are classified into two types to determine reproduction. First are the Angiosperms, this type of seed plant has flowers that have special structures for reproduction. Pollens are made by male cells, while ovules are made by female cells. Pollens are carried out through the process of pollination (e.g. wind blows, insects carrying pollen). Most angiosperms that don’t undergo pollination develop intro fruits. If it goes into pollination they become new flowering plants.

Second classification is the Gymnosperms, which are seed plants that are held in cones. Gymnosperms like Angiosperms also have male and female reproductive cells. Reproduction also occurs through pollination but most gymnosperms are trees. The best example of a gymnosperm are pine cones.  </span>

Hemophilia B, a blood clotting disorder, is an X-linked recessive trait. What is the expected percentage of offspring with hemop
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 25%.

Explanation:

Considering that Hemophilia B is an X-linked recessive disease, than for it to be observed in female offspring, the mother must be homozygous recessive because females have XX chromosomes and if the father transfers only the dominant gene then the female offspring will always be heterozygous dominant.

In the case of a father who carries the dominant gene on his X choromosome and a mother who is heterozygous for the disease meaning she has both the dominant and the recessive gene, if we calculate the percentages for this situation, we see that for the first generation, one female offspring is heterozygous dominant, one female offspring if homozygous, one male offspring carries the dominant gene on his X chromosome and the other male offspring carries the recessive gene on his X choromosome which is the one that carries the disease.

I hope this answer helps.

A Cotton shirt takes more time to dry as compared to a synthetic shirt. Why?<br><br>​
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Due to absorption of more water.

Explanation:

A Cotton shirt takes more time to dry as compared to a synthetic shirt due to absorption of more water by the cotton fiber as compare to other fiber. Cotton absorbs much more water than other synthetic fibers, and attached to the molecules of cotton for longer period of time which means cotton fibers take more time to dry as compared to synthetic fiber which absorb little amount of water and loosely attached to the molecules of fiber.
