Options for the question have not been provided. They are as follows:

(1) DNA in muscle cells

(2) base sequences in liver cells

(3) genes in an egg cell

(4) number of chromosomes in a fetal bone cell

Answer:

(3) genes in an egg cell

Explanation:

Evolution is the change in characteristics of a species which it develops over the time. These changes can be a result of natural selection, genetic drift, founder effect etc. They are passed from one generation to another hence the alleles for them get fixed in the population.

For evolution to occur, change should take place in germ cells. Germ cells are the one which fuse to form the organisms of next generation. If there is a change in their genes, it would also appear in next generation, unlike changes in genes of somatic cells. Since egg cell is a germ cell it is the correct answer.

On the Pacific island of Guam, large herbivorous bats called "flying foxes" commonly feed on cycad seeds, a potent source of neu

Bad White [126]

Flying foxes disperse the Cycad seeds if the seed sometimes get swallowed whole.

Explanation:

Cycads are gymnosperms they do not have seeds enclosed in fruit. Therefore the bats are not attracted to cycad fruit.
If the bats were susceptible to neurotoxin then they must not have been the frequent feeders of cycad seeds. Biomagnification of neurotoxin in flying fox is a widely researched topic.
Beetles do not have an association with these bats thus the bats must not be assisting them as important pollinating agents.
