Following statements are regarding to the mechanism of migration of pollen tube.

A. The embryo sac is the product of three mitotic divisions of the diploid megaspore; it comprises seven cells and eight haploid nuclei.

B. The two polar nuclei in the central cell will fuse with the second sperm nucleus and produce the endosperm that will nourish the egg. The other six cells, including the egg, contain one haploid nucleus each.

C. After compatible pollen germinates, the pollen tube grows toward the micropyle.

D. The three cells from the pollen are connected to one another at the tip of the tube, and waves of sodium ions play a key role in the growth of the tube.

You identify a previously unidentified plant species and decide to study its genetics. You establish true breeding strains for leaf shape (longer than wide vs equal length and width) and flower color (white vs. yellow). When you perform a dihybrid cross with these strains, you find that your results are very different than those predicted by a 9:3:3:1 ratio. You calculate a chi square and get a p value of less than 0.0001. Which of the following statements is most accurate based on this observation?

Laurie met her husband Jim at a support group for families dealing with PKU (phenylketonurea), a recessive genetic disorder. Laurie and Jim both have one sister who is affected with PKU and no other family history of the disorder. They come to you as a genetic counselor to ask what their risk is of having an affected child. What do you tell them?
