Q: Which of the following is true regarding dicots?
- they develop from a single seed embryo
- they develop from a seed embryo which has two halves
- they are successfully transformed using the tumor inducing (TI) plasmid
- both they develop from a single seed embryo AND they are successfully transformed using the tumor inducing (TI) plasmid
- both they develop from a seed embryo which has two halves AND they are successfully transformed using the tumor inducing (TI) plasmid
A: both they develop from a seed embryo which has two halves AND they are successfully transformed using the tumor inducing (TI) plasmid

A: it is a complex of enzymes needed to convert milk into cheese

Q: Which of the following correctly describes self-fertilization?
- the process of incorporating a foreign gene or segment of DNA into an organism from a closely related organism with which it could naturally breed
- the process of incorporating a foreign gene or segment of DNA into an unrelated organism that does not naturally carry that gene or DNA
- the crossing of two genetically distinct individuals to create hybrid offspring
- the fusion of sperm and egg from the same individual to create like offspring
- modern plant cloning method which involves transferring cells or tissues from a plant to the appropriate growth medium
A: the fusion of sperm and egg from the same individual to create like offspring
