Following statements are regarding to double fertilization in angiosperms.

A. One sperm cell fuses with the egg cell to produce the zygote that will develop into the new embryonic plant.

B. The second sperm cell fuses with the usually binucleate central cell, giving rise to the

endosperm, the tissue that nourishes the developing embryo. This second event is not “true” fertilization in the sense of male and female gametes undergoing fusion.

C. The second sperm cell fuses with the usually binucleate central cell, giving rise to the

endosperm, the tissue that nourishes the developing embryo. This second event is “true” fertilization in the sense of male and female gametes undergoing fusion.

D. During fertilization in angiosperm, when the sperm cells are released, the egg undergoes a flux of Ca2+. Then, chemicals released from the egg appear to make the sperm competent for cell fusion.

Consider a heritable autosomal disease with an incidence in the population of 1 per thousand. On average, individuals with the disease have 80% as many children as the population average. In answering the various parts of this question, assume that mating is random. What mutation rate would be required to maintain the observed incidence of the disease in the population if the disease is dominant?

Consider a heritable autosomal disease with an incidence in the population of 1 per thousand. On average, individuals with the disease have 80% as many children as the population average. In answering the various parts of this question, assume that mating is random. Now assume that the mutation rate is zero, that the disease is recessive, and that the disease allele is maintained in the population by heterozygote advantage. Calculate the heterozygote advantage,
