I found the exercise on the internet and bellow are the options:
"A. Seed cones contain ovules.
B. Germinated seeds are haploid.
C. A pollen tube is used to prevent the fertilization process.
<span>D. Pollen grains undergo meiosis to form egg cells."

The correct answer is D.
There are no seed cones, but pollen cones, where the ovules can be found. Germinated seeds are diploid, not haploid. The pollen tube role is to promote the fertilization process by leading the sperm to the egg, once the sperm in this type of plants do not have flagella and therefore no movement.
The correct answer is D because pollen grains are really the diploid germinative cells that </span><span>produce sperm cells.</span>

Independent assortment of chromosomes is a result of _____.

Ann [662]

Answer:

the "second law of Mendel", or principle of independent distribution, states that during the formation of gametes, each pair of alleles segregates independently of the other pairs.

Explanation:

Mendel's second Law is also known as the Law of Segregation, also as the Law of Equitable Separation, and also as the Law of Disjunction of the Alleles. This Second Law of Mendel is fulfilled in the second filial generation, that is to say, from the parents to the first generation, the First Law of Mendel is fulfilled, and after the children of the first generation this Second Law of Mendel is fulfilled.

This 2nd Law of Mendel, speaks of the separation of the alleles in each of the crossing between the members of the first generation, who would now become parental of the second generation, for the formation of a new child gamete with certain characteristics.

Since each allele is separated to constitute features that do not belong to the first filial generation, but to that of the parents. That is to say that many of the most obvious features in the recessive allele would be present when a generation leaps. All this in relative proportion to the number of individuals in the second subsidiary generation.

You observe that your friend has dimples. dimples result from the presence of the dominant gene d; absence of dimples is a homoz

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

DD or Dd

Explanation:

Dimples is the dominant trait (D). Your friend has dimples so that means he or she should have at least one allele of the dominant trait to express that trait. So your friend would either be homozygous dominant (DD) or heterozygous dominant (Dd). Notice that there is a recessive allele in the second. Even with that present, dimples would be still expressed.

Twin studies document similarities and differences between twins. When two _____ twins raised under very ______ circumstances di

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Twin studies document similarities and differences between twins. When two IDENTICAL twins raised under very DIFFERENT circumstances display similar personality traits, that suggests a strong GENETIC influence on personality. Critics of twin studies suggest that some documented similarities between twins are based on the fact that the twins are still the same age and may have some SIMILARITIES because of it.

Explanation:

It is not fully proved the genetic influence on the personality, and it is not the only factor wich modify the conduct.

It is stated that the personality is the result of a combination of different stimulus as genetic, socio-economic environment, parental education, upbringing rules, etc. Even the personal health can modify the personality.

The genetic condition of an organism that has two identical alleles for a given trait.

NikAS [45]

"An organism in which the two copies of the gene are identical — that is, have the same allele — is called homozygous for that gene. An organism which has two different alleles of the gene is called heterozygous."
