Answer:

Pollen

Explanation:

Flowering plants are plants classified as Angiosperms. They are the most diverse group of plants in the Kingdom Plantae. Angiosperms or flowering plants as their name implies are characterized by the possession of reproductive structures called FLOWER. The male reproductive flower called STAMEN produces their gamete in a structure called POLLEN while the female reproductive flower called PISTIL contains an ovary that produces egg cells called OVULES.

In flowering plants, the pollen of a male flower is transported to the receptive part of the female flower called STIGMA in a process called POLLINATION. The pollen contains the gamete (sperm cell) that conveys the genetic material (DNA) of the male plant. A fertilized ovule develops into a seed, hence, the reason flowering plants are called SEED-BEARING.

Therefore, pollen is the structure containing the genetic material (DNA) that is transported from one plant to another (same species) in flowering plants.

Answer:

5. The correct answer would be an option A. ova

Note: I assume that all the samples are of human origin.

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) content of somatic cells of humans consists of 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes. Gametes (sperm or ova) are haploid cells produced by the process of meiosis and contain half the number of chromosomes found in parent cell. Hence, they contain 23 chromosomes.

6. The correct answer would be an option J.

Sperm formation or spermatogenesis is the process by which spermatozoa (haploid gamete) is produced from germ cell with the help of meiotic division.

Meiosis results in the formation of four haploid (n) cells from single diploid (2n) parent cell. Here, 2n is given as 8 so, n would be equal to 4.

Meiosis I results in the formation of two secondary spermatocyte cells (both haploid or 4 chromosomes in this case) from single primary spermatocyte (diploid or 8 chromosome in this case).

Both the secondary spermatocytes undergo meiosis II to produce 4 spermatids (each haploid or 4 chromosome in this case). Spermatids differentiate and mature into spermatozoa.
