Do you think that all pollen germinates indiscriminately on all stigmas?

Pollen tube growth is one of the most fascinating—and essential—phenomena in the life cycle of flowering plants. After a compatible interaction between pollen grains and the stigma surface, the pollen germinates and forms the pollen tube, which grows through the stigma, style, and transmitting tract to deliver the sperm cells to the ovule."
2) Although pollens of many species germinate in simple aqueous media, stigmas do not provide satisfactory sites for the germination of most foreign pollen... Stigmas not only provide the proper conditions for the germination of pollen from their particular species, they actively inhibit the germination of pollen of many unrelated species.

The illustration shows biotic and abiotic factors in a pond ecosystem. Which are biotic factors of the pond ecosystem?

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

All organisms that have life, both plants and animals.

Explanation:

You didn't provide an illustration, but I guess I can still help. Biotic factor means that it has life, abiotic means it's not alive (hence the a- at the beginning.) Some biotic factors of a pond ecosystem include: earthworms, fishes, frogs, plants and insects.

Oksanka [162]

ANSWER: CANCER DEVELOPMENT

EXPLANATION:

Tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) are genes that regulates the cell cycle of a cell (i.e the cell division and replication). In other words, TSGs encodes protein that act as control or regulator of cell growth.

However, when there is an alteration in the genetic sequence (mutation) of the TSGs, this make the cell not to respond to cues that had been regulating it growth.

Thus, when cell growth is not regulated, it results to runaway or abnormal cell growth (i.e multiple folds cell division and replication), in other word referred to as “cancer”.
