A) The pollen grains will be pure red.
B) The pollen grains will be pure blue.
C) The pollen grains will have red interiors and blue exteriors.

Answer:

A) The pollen grains will be pure red.

Explanation:

Plants have alternation of generations, this means that there are two different stages in their life-cycle: a sexual haploid (n) phase and an asexual diploid phase (2n). These phases occur in different individuals, so there is an haploid plant called gametophyte that carries gametes and after fecundation, it will rise a diploid sporophyte (asexual).  

In seed plants, the sporophyte is the plant that we normally see, and the gametophyte is reduced into an organ of the sporophyte. The male gametophyte is the pollen that is produced in the sporangium in anthers (parts of sporophyte).  When a pollen grain fecundes a female gametophyte (egg), it will produce a diploid embryo or new sporophyte.

Therefore, if the researcher exposes pollen to both stains, these grain will stain red, because red stain identifies gametophyte tissue.

I'm working on a lab report on water erosion on edg lol
melomori [17]

Some facts about Water erosion :

Water erosion is the detachment and removal of soil material by water. The process may be natural or accelerated by human activity. ... Water erosion wears away the earth's surface. Sheet erosion is the more-or-less uniform removal of soil from the surface.

Water and Wind Erosion (cause)

Water erosion is the removal of soil by water and transportation of the eroded materials away from the point of removal. Water action due to rain erodes the soil and causes activities like gully, rill, and stream erosion leading to the downstream effects of flooding and sedimentation.
