If a genetic mutation in a plant that produces flowers results in a lack of petals on the flowers, what do you predict would be the most likely consequence to the plant? a. It would produce seeds, but the ovary surrounding the seeds would not be able to grow and form a fleshy fruit.

b. It would reproduce asexually instead of sexually since not all of its necessary reproductive structures would be present.

c. It would grow taller than other plants, because less energy would be needed to produce flowers and could instead be used for growth.

d. It would have less reproductive success since it would attract fewer pollinators than plants that produce flowers with petals.

Dr. bad has developed a way to damage the atp-binding cassette transporter (abc transporter) on a cell. the cell's abc transporter can no longer bind and use atp when it's transporting substances. which of the following statements best describes how this damage would effect the transport of substances in the affected cell? (choice a) substances at a low concentration outside the cell would be more rapidly transported into the cell, where there is a high concentration. (choice b) substances at a high concentration outside the cell would not be transported into the cell, where there is a low concentration. (choice c) equilibrium would be established between all substances inside and outside of the cell. (choice d) substances at a low concentration outside the cell would not be transported into the cell, where there is a high concentration.
