It is possible to make seedless tomatoes by removing the anthers of the flower and putting a hormone (auxin) on the stigma of the tomato flower
Weekly applications are required. Over the course of development, the stigma and style fall off, and the ovary develops into a normal-looking tomato with no seeds. Normally, seed and fruit formation are coordinated using hormone signaling. What does the application of auxin indicate?
A) The stigma of a tomato flower produces auxin that is necessary for pollination.
B) Auxin stimulates the development of the pericarp into the ovary wall.
C) Applied auxin must substitute for an auxin source in a developing seed.
D) Auxin is naturally produced by pollen and transferred, along with genetic material, to the flower.

Propose a valid reason to explain why is it critical that the K+ channel activation gate responds slightly slower to depolarization than the Na+ channel activation gate.
A. If both gates showed identical response times, movements of Na+ and K+ ions would magnify each other's effects on membrane potential changes, creating dangerously large action potentials. B. The conformational change in one gate is necessary to trigger the activation of the other. C. It is not critical and there would be no change in action potential characteristics if this difference in response time did not exist. D. If both gates showed identical response times, movements of Na+ and K+ ions would cancel out each other's effects on membrane potential changes.
