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.

In a population of Jackalopes (pictured below), horn length will vary between 0.5 and 2 feet, with the mean length somewhere around 1.05 feet. You pick Jackalopes that have horn lengths around 1.75 feet to breed as this appears to be the optimal length for battling other Jackalopes for food. After a round of breeding, you measure the offsprings' mean horn length is 1.67. What is the heritability of horns length (h2)? Is Jackalope horn length a heritable trait? (4 pts)? 12pt v R Paragraph V BIU A श्र > B
There are many differences between DNA replication happening during mitosis in a Douglas fir tree growing in the Oregon Cascade Mountains and DNA replication happening during a PCR reaction in a forestry research lab at Oregon State University where the laboratory is amplifying a Simple Sequence Repeat. Complete the following table that compares the two DNA replication events in terms of the primers, the nucleotides, the polymerase, and the target sequence. Additionally, give a general value for the number of copies of the template DNA after one S phase in one cell and after the lab has completed the PCR reaction. Tree SSR Type your answer here: Primers Nucleotides Polymerase Target sequence Number of copies
