As this bee dines on nectar, it also transfers pollen from one flower to another. Pollen containing sperm is transferred to the

female flower parts and fertilization of an egg soon follows.

A) N + N yields N


B) N + N yields 2N


C) N + 2N yields 3N


D) 2N + 2N yields 4N

The right answer is B) N + N yields 2N  

During this crossing, the vegetative nucleus degenerates, while the reproductive nucleus (n chromosomes) divides into 2 male nuclei or spermatozoa, each with n chromosomes. These are the male gametes of flowering plants.

One of the spermatozoa unites with the oosphere and gives the zygote (at 2n).

After this fertilization, the egg is transformed into seed while the ovary develops into fruit containing one or more seeds. The other parts of the gynoecium and the flower usually disappear.

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

b. forward mutation, suppressor mutation

Explanation:

When the nucleotide sequence of an organism is altered, it is called as mutation. It can be caused by DNA damage or replication errors. In forward mutation, the wild type allele is converted to a mutant version such that the gene product is non functional or its not produced at all. Suppressor mutation is the second mutation which reverses the phenotypic effects of the previous mutation. This process is called as synthetic rescue.

Since here gene X was converted into a mutant form by the mutation, it had undergone forward mutation. When gene Y was mutated, the function of gene X was  restored which ultimately also restored the phenotype hence it is an example of suppressor mutation.

Explanation:

The biosphere, (from Greek bios = life, sphaira, sphere) is the band of the planet Earth anywhere life lives. The biosphere is one of the four layers that comprise the Earth along with the lithosphere (rock), hydrosphere (water) and atmosphere (air) and it is the amount of all the ecosystems.The levels of biological structure from individual to biosphere are, subatomic particles, Atoms, Small Molecules, Macromolecules, Molecular devices organelle cell tissue organ system organism population species agreement ecosystem and Biosphere.
