A young boy is staring at the tropical fish tank in his mother's office. He reaches in and pulls out a fern-like plant. When he closely examines this plant, he notices it has very large cells with several dark spots. What is likely TRUE of this plant?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The observation of large cells with several dark spots indicates that this plant is likely coenocytic, meaning it has multiple nuclei within a single cell. The dark spots are actually nuclei and not symbiotic organisms. There is no indication that the plant is a fungus or a tree-fern.
