The sporophyte of an unknown plant species grows as a separate plant than the gametophyte. The plant produces both female and fl

agellated male gametes from the same gametophyte, and it releases spores into the environment. Which of the following is the best conclusion about the life cycle of this plant? (2 points)
The plant is a gymnosperm, and the gametophyte is its dominant phase.
The plant is an angiosperm, and the gametophyte is its dominant phase.
The plant is a moss, and the sporophyte is its dominant phase.
The plant is a fern, and sporophyte is its dominant phase.

Answer:

The correct answer would be "The plant is a fern, and sporophyte is its dominant phase".

Ferns refer to the lower plants which do not bear flowers, have leafy or feathery fronds, and they reproduce by spores.

They show alternation of generation in which sporophyte is the dominant stage.

The mature diploid sporophyte releases haploid spores with the help of meiotic divisions.

The haploid spore divides by mitotic division and matures into a haploid gametophyte. The single gametophyte bears antheridium and archegonium which release flagellated male gametes and egg (female gamete) respectively with the help of mitotic division.

The gametes fertilize to produce a diploid zygote.

The zygote divides mitotically and matures into the diploid sporophyte.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The oxygen dissociation curve represents the percentage saturation of Hb with oxygen at different partial pressure of oxygen. The different partial pressures gives sigmoid shapes to the curve. When this curves shifts to right, it  indicates  low affinity or binding of oxygen by the Hb. it also indicates the unloading or releases of Oxygen by Hb molecules at condition of low pressure. e,g in the muscles during strenuous exercise.However, when the curve shifts to the left, this indicate high affinity for oxygen, great binding, at high partial pressure of oxygen.e,g in the lungs to take oxygen and releases CO2.

Therefore in this scenario, the statement -. <u>During strenuous exercise, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right.</u> is correct. because oxygen is needed by the muscles therefore ,oxygen should be less binded by Hb,  decrease affinity and easily unloaded to muscles.

<u>The statement </u>This rightward shift reflects an increase in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and favors loading of O2 into hemoglobin in the lungs is wrong.

As explained above the rightwards shift indicated low affinity of Hb for oxygen(unloading)and  favours unloading at the muscles because during strenuous exercise the partial pressure of oxygen is very low(but that of CO2 high) in the muscles which favours low oxygen molecules  binding by Hb, and easy release to respiring cells.

Which one is unicellular and multicellular <br> I:crab and II: pond organism
VashaNatasha [74]
<span>Pond organism is unicellular and crab is multi cellular.

The simplest level at which life exist is called the cell. Unicellular organism contain only one cell while multi cellular organisms contain more than one cell. Multi cellular organisms can be organized into various levels such as Cells>tissues> organs>organ systems> organism. Thus pond organism is unicellular under microscope and crab is multi cellular.</span>

Hypoxia is known to cause a disruption of somitogenesis. If a mouse embryo were temporarily exposed to low levels of oxygen duri
Pani-rosa [81]

The answer to this question is: abnormal development of the caudal (tail) vertebrae

Somitogenesis refers to the process during embryo development in which somites form. These somites are cells that will give rise to structures associated with the vertebrae body plan. Somites form sequentially from the head to the tail, where each new somite forms on the caudal or tail region of the previous one.  

Somitogenesis represents the first sign of segmentation of the developing vertebrate embryo. During somitogenesis, the unsegmented paraxial or presomitic mesoderm in the trilaminar embryonic stage is segmented in order to form pairs of somites. Moreover, caudal vertebrae refer to the bones that form the tail of vertebrates, which derive from caudal somites.

Embryo hypoxia refers to the condition in which the developing embryo does not receive sufficient oxygen (O2) supply. It has been shown that hypoxia during embryo development can increase the incidence of malformations. In this case, embryo hypoxia affects normal caudal somite segmentation, thereby leading to defects in the caudal (tail) vertebrae.
