Hybrid seeds are deliberately crossbred for particular traits, such as growth pattern or disease resistance. they have been hand-pollinated and are patented, often sterile, and genetically identical within food types. these plants are usually grown in a monocultural environment and are cultivated for mass production and sale. they must be sturdy to withstand mechanical picking and cross-country shipping. they do not compare to the quality and taste of heirloom plants, but they do produce large, healthy fruit that appeals to most shoppers. unlike heirloom seeds, if one saves a hybrid seed, one will not get the same plant again. which statement can be removed and not affect the excerpt’s reliability?

The statement that would be removed and not affect the excerpt's reliability is that unlike heirloom seeds, if one saves a hybrid seed, one will not get the same plant again.

Explanation:

The generation of hybrid seeds takes place by cross-pollination in order to obtain the desired characteristics of both breeds like tolerance to environmental stress, disease resistance, high yield, and others. The removal of the statement unlike heirloom seeds, if one saves a hybrid seed, one will not get the same plant again will affect the dependability of the given verse the least.  

If one saves the hybrid seed then the chances to get the same plant again becomes very uncertain, however, the chances are not nil. They may attain some new favorable features more may even lose some of the features.  

answer: b: experiments that showed that all cells are similar in how they metabolize and in their composition

explanation:

"menstrual cycle is a complex cycle that consists of several processes. order of occurrence of steps in menstrual cycle are as follows:

1. high progesterone levels maintain the endometrium lining of the uterus.

2. endometrium lining breaks down and low levels of estrogen stimulate the pituitary to release fsh and lh.

3. fsh and lh stimulates the follicles to develop and the oocyte to produce estrogen.

4. rising estrogen levels suppress fsh production and development of other follicles.

5. a spike in lh causes follicle to rupture.

6. a breakdown of corpus luteum causes progesterone level to drop."
