False

Answer 1

1. For the first question about the determining cellular feature for the presence of red spots on the frog, the correct response is:

In the information present in the chromosomes in the nucleus.

Gene expression, which governs the traits of an organism, including coloration, is determined by the DNA present in the chromosomes.

2. For the second question regarding organelle differences between plant cells and animal cells, the correct response is:

True

Plant cells have a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells do not have a cell wall and typically have smaller vacuoles. Both plant and animal cells have mitochondria.
