Answer:
D
Explanation:
Prokaryotic are simple cells and do not have nucleus.
Answer:
They either get their source of nutrients from something else. Or, they could also have shorter roots so that they only reach the top of the soil. They probably won't need as much nutrients to survive either.

Answer:
Answer is option A.
Orchid bees are to Brazil nut trees as breezes are to pine trees.
Explanation:
In Brazil nut trees, the female orchid bees act as pollinators that help in pollination. In pine trees, wind or breeze helps in pollination.
Pine trees are gymnosperms and so they do not have flowers to attract pollinators like bees or butterflies or birds. They are wind-pollinated. Pine trees are monoecious i.e., both male and female reproductive structures (pine cones) are present on the same tree.
The male cones (catkins) produce pollen grains that are lightweight, less sticky and have air bladders or small wing-like structures. As a result of these features, the pollen grains can be easily carried and dispersed by the breeze. In order to prevent self pollination (pollen falling on the female cones of the same tree), the male cones are normally located on the lower branches of the pine tree.
The female cones are located on the upper branches of the tree and the center of the cone contains eggs or ovules. The pollen grains that are carried by the wind, fall on the female cone of another pine tree. Each pollen grain grows a pollen tube into the center of the cone and the nucleus cell of the pollen travels through the tube and reaches the egg, where it combines with the egg to form an embryo. The embryo eventually grows into a seed. The seeds of pine trees are then dispersed by wind or animals such as squirrels.
Answer:
C. Mendel hypothesized that the traits of pea plant offspring are inherited.
Explanation:
A. After years of research, Mendel identified the genes for flower colors. False. During Mendel's research, genes were not yet discovered.
B. Mendel bred various dog breeds to discover the science of genetics. False. Mendel worked with pea plants, not dogs.
C. Mendel hypothesized that the traits of pea plant offspring are inherited. True. Mendel uncovered the main principles of the inheritance of simple traits.
D. Using Punnett squares, Mendel developed the principles of genetics. False. The Punnett square was invented by Reginald C. Punnett,
