Which list gives the complete path for pollen as it fertilizes a plant? (1 point)

anther - style - stigma - ovary
anther - style - stigma - ovary

anther - stigma - style - ovary
anther - stigma - style - ovary

stamen - pistil - anther - ovary

Answer 1

The correct sequence for the complete path of pollen as it fertilizes a plant is:

anther - stigma - style - ovary

This path describes the process of pollen being released from the anther, landing on the stigma, traveling down the style, and finally reaching the ovary for fertilization.

Answer 2

What commonality do all flowering plants share with all nonflowering plants? (1 point)
Responses

the production of pollen
the production of pollen

the production of spores
the production of spores

the necessary structures for sexual reproduction
the necessary structures for sexual reproduction

the necessary structures for asexual reproduction
the necessary structures for asexual reproduction

Answer 3

The commonality that all flowering plants share with all nonflowering plants is:

the production of spores

Both types of plants can reproduce sexually, but nonflowering plants (like ferns and mosses) reproduce via spores, while flowering plants reproduce via seeds. However, spores are a form of reproduction that is shared across different groups of plants.

Answer 4

A shop owner wants to make large scented pine cones for the holidays. If he wants the larger cones from a pine, which cones does he want? (1 point)
Responses

the male cones
the male cones

the female cones
the female cones

the cones from the sporophyte phase
the cones from the sporophyte phase

the cones from the gametophyte phase
the cones from the gametophyte phase

Answer 5

If the shop owner wants large scented pine cones, he wants:

the female cones

Female cones are the ones that produce seeds and are typically larger and more prominent than male cones, which release pollen.

Answer 6

Consider a field where many plants are specifically pollinated by bees. If there was a sudden increase in the population of a bee predator, such as the dragonfly, we might observe a reduction in the bee population, which would lead to reduced pollination. Select the most likely outcome of this change in the ecosystem. (1 point)
Responses

Bees will start to avoid this area because of predation.
Bees will start to avoid this area because of predation.

Wind will pollinate plants in this area.
Wind will pollinate plants in this area.

Plants that were bee-pollinated will attract new insect pollinators.
Plants that were bee-pollinated will attract new insect pollinators.

The plant community will become smaller and less diverse.
The plant community will become smaller and less diverse.

Answer 7

The most likely outcome of the change in the ecosystem, given the reduction in the bee population due to increased predation by dragonflies, would be:

The plant community will become smaller and less diverse.

Bee-pollinated plants depend on bees for reproduction. With fewer bees, these plants may not be able to reproduce effectively, leading to a decline in their populations, which can result in a less diverse ecosystem overall.

Answer 8

Animals can help plants reproduce in a variety of ways. Which behavior can end up being more harmful than helpful?(1 point)
Responses

Iguanas and tortoises eat leaves, fruits, and flowers, relying on each as important seasonal food sources.

Birds eat berries and seeds, dispersing the seeds in their droppings as they fly.

Insects like bees and butterflies drink nectar, carrying pollen from one flower to another.
Insects like bees and butterflies drink nectar, carrying pollen from one flower to another.

Hummingbirds drink the nectar of flowers, and they will defend their territory in order to secure their food supply.

Answer 9

The behavior that can end up being more harmful than helpful is:

Iguanas and tortoises eat leaves, fruits, and flowers, relying on each as important seasonal food sources.

While these animals may play a role in seed dispersal or in controlling plant populations, their feeding behavior can also lead to significant damage to plant populations. Overconsumption of leaves, fruits, and flowers can hinder plant reproduction and growth, potentially leading to declines in plant populations and reducing biodiversity in the ecosystem. In contrast, the other behaviors listed generally promote the reproduction and spread of plant species.

Answer 10

What is the difference between courtship behavior and territorial behavior? (1 point)
Responses

Courtship behavior is the animal of the same kind, but of the opposite sex. Territorial behavior is the production of offspring
Courtship behavior is the animal of the same kind, but of the opposite sex. Territorial behavior is the production of offspring

Courtship behavior is used to attract a mate, and territorial behavior is used to protect an area in which an animal lives.

Territorial behavior is used to attract a mate, and courtship behavior is used to protect an area in which an animal lives.
Territorial behavior is used to attract a mate, and courtship behavior is used to protect an area in which an animal lives.

Territorial behavior is the animal of the same kind, but of the opposite sex. Courtship behavior is the production of offspring.
Territorial behavior is the animal of the same kind, but of the opposite sex. Courtship behavior is the production of offspring.

Answer 11

The correct difference between courtship behavior and territorial behavior is:

Courtship behavior is used to attract a mate, and territorial behavior is used to protect an area in which an animal lives.

Courtship behavior involves various actions and displays by one individual to attract a mate of the opposite sex, while territorial behavior involves defending and asserting control over a specific area against intruders, which can include rivals or threats.
