One unique feature of fertilization in flowering plants compared with animals is:
A.
the process involves double fertilization
B.
plant sperm are motile
C.
nuclear fusion does not take place
D.
the gametes are diploid, not haploid.
E.
multiple ovules exist in the ovary
If both chromatids in meiosis II move to the same pole in one of the two dividing cells, what will be the “ploidy” of the gametes?
A.
All four gametes will have n chromosomes.
B.
Two gametes will have n chromosomes, one will have n+1 chromosomes, and one will have n-1 chromosomes.
C.
Two gametes will have n+1 chromosomes, and two will have n-1 chromosomes.
D.
All four gametes will have 2n chromosomes.
Animals and plants both have diploid and haploid cells. How does the animal life cycle differ from the alternation of generations exhibited by plants?
