Answer:

The offspring with large, deeply colored flowers is produced from vegetative reproduction which the offspring with small, lightly colored flowers is produced from sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

Reproduction of a plant is the propagation of that plant and it occurs via the sexual or asexual means. The asexual means also called vegetative reproduction involves only one parents and the resulting offspring grows from a part of this parent. Sexual reproduction involves the union of sex cells from two parents (male and female).

In asexual or vegetative reproduction, the offsprings are genetically identical to the parent they emanate from while in sexual reproduction, the offsprings can be genetically different due to the process of recombination that occurs in gametes during their formation (meiosis). This allows for genetic variation among the offsprings.

Therefore, the offspring that resembles the parent i.e. large and deeply colored was likely produced by the vegetative or asexual means of reproduction while the offspring that exhibited a different characteristics from the parent was produced from sexual reproduction.

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.

A fat free diet is dangerous because IT CAN RESULT IN DEFICIENCY OF ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS. 
Essential fatty acids refers to those fatty acids that humans must eat in their foods because the body can not synthesize them and they are required for good health. There are three type of essential fatty acids, these are arachidonic, linoleic and linolenic acids. When these essential fatty acid are absent in one's diet they lead to ill health.
