What are some good and bad results on irradiation being used on seeds

Biology

malfutka [58]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

The effects of gamma radiation are investigated by studying plant germination, growth and development, and biochemical characteristics of maize. Maize dry seeds are exposed to a gamma source at doses ranging from 0.1 to 1 kGy. Our results show that the germination potential, expressed through the final germination percentage and the germination index, as well as the physiological parameters of maize seedlings (root and shoot lengths) decreased by increasing the irradiation dose. Moreover, plants derived from seeds exposed at higher doses did not survive more than 10 days. Biochemical differences based on photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids) content revealed an inversely proportional relationship to doses of exposure. Furthermore, the concentration of chlorophyll a was higher than chlorophyll b in both irradiated and non-irradiated seedlings. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy used to evaluate the amount of free radicals induced by gamma ray treatment demonstrates that the relative concentration of radiation-induced free radicals depends linearly on the absorbed

Which of the following statements best reflects the scientific understanding of a zygote?
iren [92.7K]

Answer: The options are not given, here are the options.

A. A zygote is an unfertilized egg

B. A zygote is made up of one cell

c.A zygote is the fusion of two gametes

d.A zygote is where gametes are formed

The correct option is C.

zygote is the fusion of two gametes

Explanation:

A zygote is the fusion of to gamete because it is formed from the union of sperm cell and ovum or egg when the sperm and ovum fuse together after fertilization.

A zygote is start as a single cell but it eventually divides after undergoing fertilization after some days into smaller cells.

Therefore, after two weeks that the zygote divides, it become an embryo.

Echinoderms _____. _____ Select one: a. have an exoskeleton of hard calcareous plates b. often use tube feet to move around in t
atroni [7]

Answer:

B. often use tube feet to move around in their environment

Explanation:

Tube feet are tiny tubular projections of echinoderms on the underside (oral side). They are a member of the echinoderm water vascular system.

Tubular feet are used for feeding, breathing and shifting. They are arranged around the sides, in grooves. They work by hydraulic pressure. They are used to transfer food in the centre to the oral mouth, and may stick to surfaces. Tube feet allow certain animals to stick and travel slowly to the ocean floor. for example starfish uses tube feet for the above functions.

Hence, the correct option is B.
