A high school student is carrying out a science project. She plants alfalfa seeds, and encloses an area planted with one set of alfalfa seeds within a box covered in red cellophane (which reflects light of red wavelengths)
She leaves another set of planted alfalfa seeds
uncovered. What do you expect she'll find in these two alfalfa populations when her science
project is over?
A. Germination rates will be the same in both
seed sets.
B. The germination rate will be lower in the
uncovered seed set.
C. The germination rate will be higher in the
uncovered seed set.

In sexual reproduction in ciliates the sequence of events is
A. (1) In the pair of conjugating cells, the micronuclei undergo mitosis to produce four diploid micronuclei. All but one of these micronuclei disintegrate. (2) The remaining micronucleus undergoes meiosis to produce two. (3) One micronucleus stays in the parent cell and the other moves to the opposite cell while the macronucleus in each cell disintegrates. (4) The cells separate, each with two nuclei. (5) One haploid micronucleus in each cell forms a new haploid macronucleus and the other divides mitotically to form eight new haploid micronuclei. (6) The two haploid macronuclei fuse to form a diploid one and the eight haploid micronuclei fuse by pairs into four diploid micronuclei. B. (1) In each conjugating cell, the micronucleus undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid micronuclei, of which three disintegrate. (2) The remaining micronucleus undergoes mitosis to produce two. (3) One micronucleus stays in the parent cell and the other moves to the opposite cell while the macronucleus in each cell disintegrates. (4) The cells separate, each with two nuclei, one of its own and one from its conjugant. (5) The two haploid micronuclei in each cell fuse to form a diploid micronucleus. (6) The diploid micronucleus divides mitotically, producing four diploid macronuclei and four micronuclei. C. (1) In each conjugating cell, the macronucleus and micronucleus undergo meiosis. One haploid macronucleus and micronucleus disintegrate in each cell. (2) The remaining nuclei undergo mitosis to produce two macronuclei and two micronuclei. (3) One set of nuclei stays in the parent cell and the other moves to the opposite cell. (4) The cells separate, each with two sets of nuclei, one of its own and one from its conjugant. (5) The two haploid micronuclei in each cell fuse to form a diploid micronucleus, and the two macronuclei fuse to form a diploid macronucleus. (6) The diploid nuclei mitotically, producing four diploid macronuclei and four micronuclei.
