Answer:

The correct answer will be- true, all the options are correct.

Explanation:

Cactus or the species of Opuntia genus are adapted to grow on the desert conditions or the area with no water or xerophytic conditions.

The leaves of the plants become modified to take the shape of the spines which provide many advantages like protection from herbivores and providing shape to the plant.

In the species of teddy bear cactus (Opuntia bigelovii), the cactus serve a third purpose that is they help in the propagation of the species. The spines possess tiny barbs at the ends which help them attach to the animal or any object that walks by and the falls of somewhere else. The fall-off portion of the cactus grow roots and form a new cactus there.

Thus, true is the correct answer.

Answer:

In babies born with congenital defects during the German measles rubella epidemic the specific cause of these birth defects was most likely the development of rubella virus infections in embryos.

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

1. The development of rubella virus infections in embryos. 

2. The failure of zygotes infected with rubella to develop

3. Mutations in the nerve cells of pregnant females at the time of the rubella epidemic .

4. An increase in the amount of time needed for healthy embryonic development.

Rubella is a viral infection caused by a virus of the genus Rubivirus, considered highly teratogenic during the phases of pregnancy where the embryo and the fetus are developing, that is, before 20 weeks of gestation.

The virus is transferred to the embryo or fetus by the mother's blood, acquiring the disease, which can cause abortions or visible malformations at birth, which is called Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRB).

CRB is responsible for producing cardiovascular, renal, neurological malformations, loss of vision or hearing, problems that German children born during the epidemic probably had.
