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.
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 produce sperm cells.

How are convection currents in the mantle (geosphere) and in the oceans (hydrosphere) similar ? How are they different ? I NEED

NISA [10]

Hello,

Convection currents in the mantle drive plate tectonics. Convection is the reason for ocean currents. Ocean currents result from two processes - the action of wind on the surface of the water, and from variation in water temperature that causes movement.

Both the mantle and ocean experience the heat transfer due to bulk movement of molecules within fluids such as gases and liquids, including molten rock; this is called, again, convection.

How can nuclei accommodateall of our genetic material (3,000,000,000 base pairs)?

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

By forming chromatin and in the condensed form of chromosomes

Explanation:

The human genome contains around 3 billion base pairs which are located in the nucleus of all cells. In order to accomodate such large genomic information, DNA is maximally supercoiled during mitosis and meiosis processes to form condensed structures called chromosomes. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes per somatic cell. The supercoiling process is assisted by a family of proteins called histones, which interact with DNA and regulate its conformation. The complex between DNA and histones within the nucleus is called chromatin. When chromatin is supercoiled it form chromosomes (in eukaryotic cells).

The primary function of the proximal tubule is

Mashutka [201]

Absorption it regulates the pH of the filtrate by exchanging hydrogen ions in the interstitium for bicarbonate ions in the filtrate; it is also responsible for secreting organic acids, such as creatinine and other bases, into the filtrate.

What type of organism uses cellular respiration for their cellular energy needs

ololo11 [35]

Answer: Organisms from all kingdoms of life. For example; bacteria, archaea, plants, protists, animals, and fungi, can use cellular respiration.

Explanation: All organisms carry out cellular respiration in the mitochondria of their cells. They take in oxygen to convert glucose to usable ATP. In the process carbon is released as a waste. Plants and algae carry out photosynthesis in the chloroplasts of their cells.
