Answer to Problem 1MCQ

Correct answer:

Flower is not a vegetative organ in a plant. Hence, the correct answer is option c.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct answer:

Option c. is given as “Flower”.

The vegetative parts of plants include stems, leaves, and roots. Flower is a reproductive part of the plant which may or may not give rise to fruit.

Reason for incorrect answer:

Option a. is given as, “Stem”.

Stems are considered as vegetative parts of vascular plants. Hence, option a. is incorrect.

Option b. is given as, “Leaf”.

The vegetative organs in a plant are roots, stems, and leaves. Hence, option b. is incorrect.

Option d. is given as, “Root”.

Root is a vegetative organ that does not participate directly in reproduction. Hence, option d. is incorrect.

Hence, the options a., b., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion

Flower is a reproductive organ whereas root, stem, and leaf are vegetative organs. Thus, the correct option is c.

If using animals in medical experiments could save human lives, is it ethical to do so? In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.
You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
