Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "high levels of radiation".

Explanation:

The most dramatic environmental consequence of the nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl was the high levels of radiation at the city and regions around it. It is reported that soon after the explosion people at Chernobyl were exposed to radiation levels of  8,000 to 16,000 millisievert (mSv), which has compared to receiving 80,000 to 160,000 chest X-rays. The environmental consequences of the nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl are practically permanent, which has lead the authorities to establish an  Exclusion Zone of approximately 2,600 km2.

What is meant by aseptate coenocytes​
spayn [35]

Answer:Filamentous fungi may contain multiple nuclei in a coenocytic mycelium. A coenocyte functions as a single coordinated unit composed of multiple cells linked structurally and functionally, i.e. through gap junctions. Fungal mycelia in which hyphae lack septa are known as "aseptate" or "coenocytic".

Coenocytic cells are present in diverse and unrelated groups of algae, including Xanthophyceae, red algae and green algae.

In the siphonous green algae Bryopsidales and some Dasycladales the entire thallus is a single multinucleate cell, which can be many meters across. However, in some cases, crosswalls may occur during reproduction.

Explanation:The green algal order Cladophorales is characterized by siphonocladous organization, i.e., the thalli are composed of many coenocytic cells.

In contrast to the Cladophorales where nuclei are organized in regularly spaced cytoplasmic domains, the cytoplasm of Bryopsidales exhibits streaming, enabling transportation of organelles, transcripts and nutrients across the plant.
