Answer:
<em>Exceptions to Mendel's principles:
</em>
Does exceptions mean that Mendel was "wrong"? The answer is "NO". It means that we know more today about diseases, genes, and heredity than compared to what he expalined 150 years ago. Here I have summerized the exceptions with examples:
<em>Incomplete dominance</em>: When an organism is heterozygous for a trait and both genes are expressed but not completely.
<em>Example</em><em>:</em> SnapDragon Flowers
<em>Codominance</em>: When 2 different alleles are present and both alleles are expressed.
<em>Example</em>: Black Feathers + Whites feathers --> Black and white speckled feathers
<em>Multiple alleles</em>: Three or more alternative forms of a gene (alleles) that can occupy the same locus.
Example: Bloodtype
<em>Polygenic traits</em>: more than one gene controls a particular phenotype
Example: human height, Hair color, weight, and eye, hair and skin color.
Answer:
It is a seeded vascular plant.
It does not depend on insect pollination.
Explanation:
The complete question is: <em>A scientist has discovered a new plant species in the Amazon rainforest. She tells her fellow scientists that the plant she has found produces a cone. What might they say about how this plant is different from an angiosperm? Its seeds have one or two cotyledons. Its stems' vascular bundles are scattered. It does not depend on insect pollination. It is a seeded vascular plant.

<em>The correct option would be that the plant is a seeded vascular plant and does not depend on insect pollination.</em>
Gymnosperms are the only group of plants that produce cones. They are one of the plant groups that have vascular tissues in the form of xylem and phloem as well as been able to produce seed in the form fo cones. Hence, they are said to be seeded vascular plants.
Gymnosperms also carry out their pollination by relying solely on wind for the transfer of their pollen grain to the female organ. In other words, they do not depend on insect for pollination.
