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.

Can you identify which organisms are on which trophic levels in an intertidal community?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The producers-Sea weed-Perform photosynthesis.

The filter feeders- sponges, chiton-eat floating planktons.

Grazers -Snails,mussels feed on- floating planktons.

Carnivores such as sea stars feeds on snails

Explanation:

  • The producers are placed at the bottom level in energy pyramid and are prime factor in the aquatic eco system which provides energy and perform photosynthesis with the help of water,sunlight and chlorophyll.
  • The filter feeders are those that feeds upon small particles that are present in the water.
  • Grazers are those organisms that feeds on producers like phytoplanktons.
  • Carnivores are those organisms that feeds on herbivores.

What is evidence that each color of visible light has a wave of a specific wavelength. pls help me :)
aliina [53]

Answer:

Dispersion of white light by a prism

Explanation:

When white light is passed through a prism, the white light separates into its component wavelengths which are:

Red

Orange

Yellow

Green

Blue

Indigo

Violet

Together, all of these wavelengths constitute the spectrum of white light.

Hence, the dispersion of white light shows that each color of visible light has a specific wavelength.
