Which option describes the likely result of the damage in the following scenario? During the process of germination, the radicle of a dicot seed is damaged by gnawing rodents.

the cotyledon will fail to open and provide nourishment

hypocotyl growth will be slowed or stopped

root growth will be slowed or stopped

germination will halt

germination will halt

Explanation:

Germination will be stopped because radicle helps in absorbing of nutrients from the soil that leads to germination of the seedlings. Radicle are the first roots that emerge from the seed that is responsible for the absorption of nutrients from the soil in order to increase the growth of seedlings in size. If this radicle get damaged, the growth of the plumule is stopped due to no absorption of nutrients from the soil that is necessary for the growth and development of the plant.

parasites can detrimentally affect their host, but also must not allow their host to die before they can complete their life cycle. some parasites have complex life cycles with many different hosts, and have had to find ways of persisting in many different environments during the change from one host to another. ectoparasites live outside the body of the host, and can more easily  disperse, but are  more exposed to predators, parasites, parasitoids. endoparasites live inside the body of the host, and are therefore protected from the outside environment. but they can be  attacked by the host's immune system. they have therefore developed  mechanisms for dispersal such as  complex life cycles.
