Question 7 10 pts Which of the following are true about self-fertilization? O The resulting offspring only has DNA from one plant O It still carries out meiosis O Pollen from the same plant pollinates and fertilizes the ovaries O The resulting offspring are genetic clones from the parent plant The resulting offspring may show recessive traits not seen in the parent plant D Question 8 10 pts Which of the following illustrate examples of pollination strategies? Offering nectar for pollinators Having sticky pollen that sticks to pollinators Releasing compounds that attract specific pollinators Flower colors that use the sensory system of pollinators

Explanation / Answer

7. Options ABC are correct.

Self-fertilization requires meiosis to maintain constant chromosomes number.

The progeny contains similar genetic material as that of the parent (since a single parent is involved).

Pollen from the same plant fertilizes its ovaries.

The progeny may not be genetic clones as crossing over occurs during gamete formation.

If the recessive traits are not present in the parent, they are not found in the progeny as well.

8. Options ABCD are correct.

Pollination strategies: Nector, sticky pollen, the release of specific compounds, and flower colors.

9. Options BCD are correct.

Functions performed by ground tissue: Food storage, photosynthesis, and structural support.

10. Options AB are correct.

Water conservation strategies: Thick cuticle and abaxial stomata.
