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.

Select all that apply.

Klio2033 [76]

The lysosomes are the animal cell's "garbage disposal", while in plant cells the same function takes place in vacuoles. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, which are not found within animal cells.

How are the terms nucleotide, nitrogenous base, and nucleic acid related to each other?

hoa [83]

A nucleic acid is made of nucleotides, and nitrogenous bases are a part of a nucleotide.

DNA is a nucleic acid. The nucleotides in DNA are made up of a sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and one nitrogenous base (which will be either adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine).

Hope this helps!!

Hox genes are sometimes called "master switches". They have acquired this nickname because a single Hox gene will turn on (or of

Gwar [14]

Answer: B. False

Explanation:

“Hox” genes are a highly conserved group of genes, all of whose products are transcription factors bearing a specific domain (called a ”homeodomain”). The transcriptional activity of a large amount of genes relevant to embryonic development is controlled by regulatory sites which are able to bind to this domain. Changes in the transcriptional activity of even a single Hox gene may thus have dramatic downstream effects on the phenotype, as this will result in several further genes having their transcription either enhanced or suppressed.
