Answer:

Is D.

A section of a chromosome that usually contains the code for a particular protein is a gene.

An allele is one of two or more variations of a gene.  This makes a phisycall characteristic eather dominant or recesive, depending of the presence of one or another

"which list contains only vitamins that do not function as coenzymes in energy metabolism?"
galben [10]
The right answer is: vitamin C and choline
Choline (vitamin B4) is the precursor on the one hand acetylcholine (important neurotransmitter and neuromodulator) and on the other hand, the cascade initiated by betaine (intermediate in the biological methylation and precursor of membrane lipids). In this, it is considered, by extension, as an integral part of the family of B vitamins,
Vitamin C protects against cellular aging, is essential for the immune defenses and increases the assimilation of iron of plant origin. It also contributes to the formation of collagen. Its deficiency leads to a disease called scurvy (hence the ascorbic acid name of vitamin C).

providing examples explain how sexual reproduction in plants has evolved to become less dependent on water
Mars2501 [29]

The Gymnosperms and Angiosperms are groups of plants with seed, which means that they don’ t necessary acquire water for fertilization. These groups have made adaptations for sexual reproduction on dry land.

1) Gymnosperms (plants with the seeds are not enclosed in an ovary) have developed over the course of its evolution, structures that solved the main limitations present in the Pteridophytes in relation to sexual reproduction, in the terrestrial environment. The main changes that happened as an evolutionary adaptation to dry land are those on the seeds and pollen. The advantages of the seeds are: the storage tissue which sustains growth and a protective coat of the seeds. Seed is enveloped with the layers of hardened tissue which prevents desiccation. This is what frees reproduction from the need for a constant supply of water. <span>The sperm (male gamete) of gymnosperms</span> is enclosed in a pollen grain. Thi structure is protected from desiccation and can reach the female organs without dependence on water. Gymnosperms also developed structures called cupules to enclose and protect the ovule (the female gametophyte) which will develop into a seed upon fertilization.

 

2) Angiosperms are a group of plants which protect their seeds within an ovary called a fruit. Angiosperms have special evolutionary adaptations. For example, they produce their gametes in separate organs, usually in a flower, so the fertilization and embryo development takes place inside an anatomical structure. That provides a stable system of sexual reproduction largely sheltered from environmental fluctuations like water need.
