Which of the following is false? A. When a maternal effect gene is seen, the offspring will demonstrate the phenotype of the mother's genotype.
B. In maternal effect, an offspring will have the genotype of their mother.
C. In a reciprocal cross, if an offspring has the mother's phenotype for both crosses, cytoplasmic inheritance is responsible.
D. The direction of shell coiling in Lymnaea peregra is influenced by the orientation of the first cleavage division.
E. It is safe to say that a maternal effect is caused by the genotype, not the phenotype, of the parent producing the egg.

Answer is D.

Explanation:

The first cleavage division can be explained or described as the series of first cellular division of the zygote after fertilization.

In this case, the process of recoiling of the shell of the snail can not be categorized as one of the examples at this stage.

water is a polar molecule. a chemical bond is a force of attraction between atoms or ions. bonds form when atoms share or transfer valence electrons. atoms form chemical bonds to achieve a full outer energy level, which is the most stable arrangement of electrons. so, false

explanation:

in h2o molecule, two water molecules are bonded by a hydrogen bond but the bond between two h - o bonds within a water molecule are covalent. the greater the electronegativity difference, the more ionic the bond is. bonds that are partly ionic are called polar covalent bonds. nonpolar covalent bonds, with equal sharing of the bond electrons, arise when the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal.
