Answer:

D. Sterility Locus

Explanation:

Angiosperms have several mechanisms to prevent self-pollination due to the advantage of cross-pollination. One of such mechanisms is self-incompatibility genes present on the sterility locus.

These genes determine the germination of the pollen on the stigma. If both the pollen and stigma carry the same allele of the gene present at the sterility locus, the germination of pollen is prevented.  

The sterility locus has multiple alleles and the presence of the same alleles at the same locus in both pollen and stigma prevents the pollen germination.

For example, pollen from S1S2 individuals can not germinate on the stigma with the S1S3 genotype. Here, the pollen does not obtain water as required for germination from the stigma and are unable to germinate.

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

A specific sequence of nucleotides.

Explanation:

DNA, which is a nucleic acid, is a molecule that is made up of nucleotides. Nucleotides have 4 types for any DNA which are A, G, C and U respectively Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine.

The genetic code of any DNA molecule is determined solely by the specific sequence that these 4 nucleotide molecules form in the cell.

I hope this answer helps.

How can you tell the cell in question 8 is undergoing meiosis, not mitosis?
UkoKoshka [18]
This cell must be undergoing meiosis because homologous chromosomes are associated with each other at the metaphase plate which this does not occur in mitosis. During mitosis, a eukaryotic cell undergoes a carefully coordinated nuclear division that results in the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells.
