MAKE CONNECTIONS In Figure 33.8, assume that the two medusae shown at step 4 were produced by one polyp colony. Review Concept 12.1 and Concept 13.3, and then use your understanding of mitosis and meiosis to evaluate whether the following sentence is true or false; if false, select the answer that provides the correct reason. Although the two medusae are genetically identical, a sperm produced by one will differ genetically from an egg produced by the other. a. False (both the medusae and the gametes are genetically identical) b. False (neither the medusae nor the gametes are genetically identical) c. False (the medusae are not identical but the gametes are) d. True

Hello everyone here We have a question that says just like animals, plants that reproduce sexually used biotic cell division to produce eggs and sperm cells. Based on your understanding of biotic cell division, identify which of the following statements about plants. Biotic cell division specifically for angiosperms is false. A. Four halfway sales are ultimately produced. This is true B. And male flowers mitosis is used to produce pollen. This is true See and female flowers. Egg cells are produced by floral organs. This is true D. Plants use biotic cell division and growing their stem roots and leaves. This is false. They use my topic cell division to grow their stem roots and leaves. So our answer here is D thank you for watching. Bye.
