Answer:

The correct answer is option True.

Explanation:

Ferns are the seedless tracheophytes belonging to group pteridophytes of the plant kingdom. The life cycle of a fern is divided into two phases: the haploid gametophytic stage and diploid sporophytic stage.

The gametophyte is formed from the sporophytic spores after they are germinated on a suitable substratum. Sporophyte after germination forms a bisexual heart-shaped structure with no vascular tissues so uses rhizoids for attachment. This formed gametophyte is known as "prothallus".

Thus, the gametophyte structure is known as prothallus is true.

A prothallium, or prothallus is usually the gametophyte stage in the life of a fern or other pteridophyte. Occasionally the term is also used to describe the young gametophyte of a liverwort or peat moss as well.

Answer:

DNA → TACCATGGAATTACT

RNA → AUGGUACCUUAAUGA

PROTEIN → Methionine-Valine-Proline-Stop codon-Stop codon (AUG GUA CCU UAA UGA)

Explanation:

In nucleic acids (i.e., DNA and RNA), base complementarity refers to the interaction between antiparallel strands. In the double helix DNA molecule, adenine always interacts with thymine (uracil in RNA), while cytosine always interacts with guanine. Moreover, amino acids are encoded by codons, i.e., triplets of nucleotides in the messenger RNA (mRNA). Finally, stop codons are triplets of mRNA nucleotides (e.g., UAG, UAA, UGA) that indicates the end of the protein-coding sequence.
