Introduction:
Nonvascular plants make up one of the four major groups of plants that evolved along with green algae from a common ancestor. In general, nonvascular plants usually are small, which enables materials to move within them easily. These plants often are found growing in damp, shady areas where an environment provides the water needed by nonvascular plants for nutrient transport and reproduction.

Answer to Problem 12A
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (C) seedless
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
Option (C) seedless. Club mosses and the fern group make up the seedless vascular plant group. This plant group is one of the three plant groups with vascular tissues. Seedless vascular plants exhibit a great diversity of form and size. Most club mosses are small plants, usually less than 30 cm in height. Therefore, this option does not describe the plant given in the picture. So, the correct answer is option (C).
Explanation for incorrect answer :
Option (A) multicellular. All plants are multicellular eukaryotes with tissues and organs that have specialized structures and functions. Therefore, this option describes the plant given in the picture. So, this is an incorrect option.
Option (B) nonvascular. The given picture is a liverwort which is a nonvascular plant. Therefore, this option describes the plant given in the picture. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (D) thallose. Liverworts are classified as either thallose or leafy. A thallose liverwort has a body that resembles a fleshy, lobed structure. Leafy liverworts have stems with flat, thin leaf-structures arranged in three rows. Therefore, this option describes the plant given in the picture. So, this is an incorrect answer.

- "One of the symmetry breaking events in mouse gastrulation requires the amplification of Nodal on the side of the embryo opposite to the Anterior Visceral Endoderm (AVE). Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE. 1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site 4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?arrow_forwardIf four babies are born on a given day What is the chance all four will be girls?

- Plekhg5 functions in bottle cell formation, and Shroom3 functions in neural plate closure, yet the phenotype of injecting mRNA of each into the animal pole of a fertilized egg is very similar. What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forwardWhat are some medical issues or health trends that may have a direct link to the idea of keeping fat out of diets?arrow_forwardwhat did charles darwin do in sciencearrow_forward
