Which of the following best describes the function of fruits? group of answer choices

a. to distract herbivores from eating the leaves
b. protection and dispersal of seeds
c. reward for pollinators
d. food storage for the plant to use over the winter

The correct answer is B. Protection and dispersal of seeds

Explanation:

In plants, fruits are structures that form as a result of fertilization, which makes ovules become seeds and flowers maturate to become fruits. This is necessary for the reproduction of plants, as fruits contain seeds or genetical material that is protected by different layers and leads to new plants if seeds are dispersed. The process of dispersal commonly occurs as the fruit falls from the plant or is eaten by other organisms and then disperse in other areas, which allow plants to reproduce. According to this, the main function of fruits is protection and dispersal of seeds.

you are certainly talking about this picture:

a: is the label of the white square, it is showing the  replication fork, formed by helicase (d) ==> so it is the site of dna separation and replication 

b: is a new dna brand that is following directly the replication fork, so it is continuous ==> built continuously from 5' to 3

c: dna polymerase cannot replicate dna on its own, it needs the of their proteins, and one of them plays the role of a clamp which fixes  the dna with the dna template and increases  the processivity of the enzyme. ==>   stops polymerase from falling off the  template.

d: is the enzyme responsible for forming the replication fork (helicase) ==> unwinds and separates dna into two strands

e: is the delayed strand, it is built  in the opposite sense of the helicase, so dna will be built in fragments ==> built  fragments from 5' to 3 joins

and finally f: is the enzyme that builds  the new dna strand (dna polymerase) ==>   adds nucleotides to make a new dna helix.
