7. Describe the role of pollinators in the reproduction of flowering plants.
Pollinators protect plants from herbivores.
Pollinators provide nutrients to the plants for growth.
Pollinators help in the photosynthesis process of plants.
Pollinators facilitate the transfer of pollen from the male parts to the
female parts of flowers, enabling fertilization.
,8. If a species is unable to reproduce, what impact would this have on its long-
term survival?
The species would likely face extinction.
The species would continue to evolve without offspring.
The species would adapt through metabolism.

10. Interpret the significance of homozygous chromosomes in genetic
inheritance.
Homozygous chromosomes are always dominant over heterozygous
chromosomes.
Homozygous chromosomes are irrelevant in genetic inheritance.
Homozygous chromosomes carry identical alleles, which can
influence the expression of traits.
Homozygous chromosomes can only be found in diploid organisms.
11. Describe the difference between the nitrogenous bases found in DNA and
RNA.
