Simora [160]

The answer is A. anther and ovary.

The female part of an angiosperm flower is called a pistil and it consists of a style, stigma and ovary. The male part of an angiosperm flower is called a stamen and it consists of an anther and corolla. Thus, among all choices, choice A is the answer.

Choice B - anther is the male part of the flower, but sepal is a protective part of the flower and not reproductive.

Choice D - stigma is the female part of the flower, but sepal is a protective part of the flower and not reproductive.

Choice C - "vary" is not a word, but it is a mistake and it should be "ovary,"  the answers could be both choice A and C.

Explain what it means for a section of DNA to be considered a molecular clock. Be sure to discuss the importance of neutral muta
IceJOKER [234]
  <span>Neutral mutations are neither harmful nor beneficial. 

Therefore, they are invisible to natural selection. (Since they neither improve nor worsen one individual's chances of survival and reproduction over another.) 

However neutral mutations can still spread into the population by just random replications and matings. This is called genetic drift. 

In other words, they are 'silent'. They are mutations that exist and propagate in populations, but seem to have no effect at all. 

The reason they can become important to evolution is that a day can come when they *do* have an effect. In other words, even though an individual mutation may have no immediate effect on survival or reproduction, a *combination* of neutral mutations may provide some new benefit or harm ... at which point natural selection *will* act on that combination.
