Answer:

The correct answer would be option C.

Plants evolved different methods to prevent or reduce the effects of photorespiration.

The C3 plants are the most common plants which do not have any special methods or physiology to prevent photorespiration.

The C4 are the plants in which carbon fixation and the Calvin cycle takes place in different cells. Carbon is fixed in the mesophyll cells with the help of PEP carboxylase enzyme. It fixes carbon and converts PEP into oxaloacetate. The Calvin cycle takes place in the bundle-sheath cells.

In contrast, CAM (Crassulacean acid metabolism) plants are those in which carbon fixation and Calvin cycle are separated into time. The carbon is fixed during the night as it helps in reducing the loss of water through transpiration.

The Calvin cycle takes place during the day time in the same cell, that is, mesophyll cell.

A botanist has discovered a new plant species and is trying to classify the plant. Its seed has one cotyledon, it has six flower
lana66690 [7]

The best suited group for the mentioned plant is Angiosperms and monocot.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

As mentioned the seed of the plant has one cotyledon and the specific name for these type of plants whose seeds has one cotyledon is called Monocot, Suppose if the seed of the plant has two seeds, It is called dicot.

Hence we can conclude that the mentioned plant comes under monocot and not dicot.  On the other hand, Angiosperms refers to the plants that has flowers with it and gymnosperms usually includes plants without flowers and hence we can classify the plant as Angiosperm and monocot.

blsea [12.9K]
The little dots collected from under the fern leaves are spores, not seeds. Ferns are different from seed-bearing plants in that ferns in a sexless way through sporophyte generation. Spores dropped from or taken from grown fern leaves have developed prothallium. Each prothallium generates male and female organs in what is called the gametophyte stage. When fertilization of the female gametophyte happens, small fern plants or leaflets start to grow.
