I said advantage is that it means other plants cannot develop in the soil so less competition and the if spindle fibres can't form then it prevents genetic variation so genes are conserved.

They showed in the figure that there were photosynthetic pigments which means photosynthesis is occurring which produces oxygen as a product so it inhibits nitrogen fixation

I thought that paper was absolutely horrible and I guessed most of the answers so now I’m really worried about getting into uni :/

i think the main answer is leydig but if interstitial is technically correct they'll defo allow it too. Dont stress it's only a one mark question anyway :smile:

I messed up the 6 marker on plant reproduction and the chromosomes cause apparently is said that 2n=16 which i didn’t see so i just used the usual 23 and 46 chromosome numbers 😐😐

saw it last minute lmaooo and then changed my answer
