2. plants' cell have well defined nuclei and membrane bounded organelles
3. plants are sessile.
4. Cells in a plant that are carrying out photosynthesis do NOT need to perform
respiration.
5. Angiosperms are the largest group of plants in terms of number of extant

a chromosome in the nucleus of the plant cell.
7. Tap root systems is a feature of dicot plants.

Answer 1

Barbara McClintock did not transform the knowledge of wildlife and conservation. True statements include: plants' cells have well-defined nuclei and membrane-bound organelles, plants are sessile, angiosperms are the largest group of plants, to produce transgenic plants DNA must integrate into the plant cell's nucleus, and tap root systems are a feature of dicot plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

1. False - Barbara McClintock is known for her work in the field of genetics, particularly her discovery of transposable elements in maize.

2. True - Plant cells have well-defined nuclei and membrane-bound organelles, including chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis.

3. True - Plants are sessile, meaning they are rooted in one place and do not have the ability to move.

4. False - Cells in a plant that are carrying out photosynthesis still need to perform respiration to produce the energy required for cellular processes.

5. True - Angiosperms, or flowering plants, are the largest group of plants in terms of the number of extant species. They make up the majority of plant species on Earth.

6. True - To produce transgenic plants, the transferred DNA must integrate into a chromosome in the nucleus of the plant cell.

7. True - Tap root systems, characterized by a main root that grows vertically and gives rise to lateral roots, are a feature of dicot plants.
