After fertilization, the ovary of the flower develops into fruit, while the ovule develops into seed. The ovary wall becomes the pericarp (fruit wall). Petals, sepals, and stamens usually wither. Some fruits are parthenocarpic (without fertilization, e.g., banana). The fruit protects seeds and aids in dispersal. Anther produces pollen grains. Thus, fruit is a mature ovary.
Explanation:
Plasma cells, differentiated from B lymphocytes, are the factories that produce and secrete large amounts of antibodies (immunoglobulins) specific to an antigen. Macrophages phagocytose, T cells regulate or directly kill, neutrophils phagocytose bacteria.
Explanation:
Vitamin B₁₂ contains cobalt, hence the name cobalamin. It is involved in DNA synthesis, red blood cell maturation, and nervous system maintenance. Deficiency leads to pernicious anemia and neurological disorders.
Explanation:
RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of DNA and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand during transcription. DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA, ligase joins DNA fragments, helicase unwinds DNA.
