Fungi do not produce their own food. many kinds of fungi get food by living in or on other organisms, such as plants, and taking nutrients from these organisms. which of the following will most likely happen if a fruit tree is infected by a fungus? a. the fruit tree will use the fungus as food. b. the fruit tree will not be affected by the fungus in any way. c. the fruit tree will grow more slowly and may eventually die. d. the fruit tree will grow faster and produce larger fruit.

Fungi attack will slower the growth of a tree and sometimes lead to its death.

Explanation:

Fungus attack on fruits infects it and causes rotting of the fruit generally. It can sometimes attack the tree as well. A kind of fungus named apple scab harms the crab apple tree eventually leading to its death.

Such attacks cause velvet like spots on leaves and gradually spread to the fruit and infect it. Black spots then can be visible in the fruit. The shoot fungus causes the tree to die attacking its leaves.

d. in sexual reproduction, offspring have more chromosomes than

either parent.

asexual reproduction results in offspring which are genetically the same as the parent organism (not counting a rare mutation). sexual reproduction produces a random mixture of the genetics derived from both parents

explanation:

the farther away the object is from the central star (the sun) it's gravitainal pull on the object is weaker when it is farther
