Answer:
A pollen tube grows from the pollen grain into the ovary
Explanation:
Water is needed for fertilization in several plant groups because the sperm needs to swim to meet the non-motile eggs of the female organs.
<em>However in angiosperms, the pollen germinates and a structure known as pollen tube which contains the male gametophyte (sperm) grows into the ovary where the ovule is located and the male gametophyte is deposited in the ovule to initiate the fertilization process.</em>
<em>Hence, water is really not necessary for fertilization in the angiosperms.</em>
Cellular respiration uses oxygen to release the energy stored in food.
Explanation:
In breathing living organisms take oxygen and release the carbon dioxide it is similar to the aerobic respiration.
There are two types of respiration:
1. Aerobic respiration
2. Anaerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration
It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.
Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP
Anaerobic Respiration
It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.
Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide!
Answer: B. Rough strained and heat killed smooth strain kills mouse
Explanation:
Answer:
12 : 3 : 1
Explanation:
According to Mendel's principles, a dihybrid cross between two heterozygous summer squash parents (WwGg X WwGg) should yield offsprings, 12 with white, 3 with yellow and 1 with green color phenotype. The classic Mendelian phenotypic ratio for dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1. In this case, genotypes W- G- and W- gg produce white color phenotype. This is because we have 12: 3: 1 phenotypic ratio in which the alleles of two different genes assort independently into gametes.
<em>Dihybrid cross for heterozygous summer squash:</em>
WG Wg wG wg
WG WWGG WWGg WwGG WwGg
Wg WWGg WWgg WwGg Wwgg
wG WwGG WwGg wwGG wwGg
wg WwGg Wwgg wwGg wwgg
Genotypes:
W-G- and W- gg = white = 12
ww G- = yellow = 3
ww gg = green = 1
