Answer: Light can influence gene expression at caterpillar stage which can further influence butterfly wing development. This hypothesis was proved by Thomas Hunt Morgan in 1917 a biologist who conducted studies on butterflies from two different species : <u>Vanessa</u> <u>urtica </u> and <u>Vanessa</u> <u>io </u> caterpillars under red, green, or blue light whereas other caterpillars were kept in the dark. He found that there were differences in color and size of wings of  butterflies exposed to different light conditions. Exposure to red light resulted in bright colored wings while exposure to green light resulted in dusky wings. Blue light and dark light resulted in paler colored wings. Also, V. urtica caterpillars reared under blue light and V.io butterflies reared in dark wings developed were larger in size.

Therefore light which is an external environmental factor can influence gene expression which can further influence phenotype of the organism.

Hence in the given situation butterfly would show differences in their wing color if in the caterpillar stage they were grown in dark or bright white light.

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

1. Pollen tube

2. Style

3. Ovary

Explanation:

This process is describing the process of POLLINATION, which is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a male flower (androecium) to the stigma of the female flower (gymnoecium). After pollination i.e. the pollen has landed on the sticky stigma, the pollen grows out a tube called POLLEN TUBE.

The pollen tube extends through the STYLE of the female flower called PISTIL to the OVARY. The ovary is the reproductive part of the female flower that produces the ovules, which the sperm in the pollen is about to fertilize.
