<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D.) The speed decreases because at cooler temperatures the water has less mechanical energy.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Sound travels about 1500 meters per second in seawater. The speed of sound in sea water varies depending on factors such as water depth, place to place, morning to evening, etc.
  • The change in the speed sound is associated to the variables in the ocean such as temperature, salinity and the pressure.
  • <em><u>The temperature of ocean water decreases with depth, so as the depth increases the water gets cooler. And since the speed of sound in water increases with increase in water temperature, then an increase in depth would mean a decrease in the speed of the sound.</u></em>

Which of the following statements about double fertilization are true? Select all that apply. a. One sperm fuses with an egg whi
aleksley [76]

Answer: Only options A, B, C and D are true statements

A) One sperm fuses with an egg while the other sperm fuses with the polar nuclei.

B) It results in the formation of a diploid embryo and triploid endosperm.

C) Both sperms involved in double fertilization form within the same pollen tube.

- The diploid nucleus resulting from the second fertilization undergoes meiosis to form the endosperm.

Explanation:

Double fertilization is a process that occurs in only flowering plants. It involves the following:

- A pollen grain produces TWO male gametes

- one male gamete fertilize the egg to form a zygote that is DIPLOID (with two basic sets of chromosomes)

- the second male gamete fuses with another cell named POLAR NUCLEI, to form endosperm (the food storing tissue) in the seed. The endosperm formed is TRIPLOID ( it has three sets of chromosomes), having undergone reductive division - meiosis

Thus, the options A, B, C and D are true statements
