Apologies for the confusion. In that case, the statement that is NOT true for both plant and animal reproduction is: D. They both use courtship behaviors. Courtship behaviors are specific behaviors exhibited by animals to attract and impress potential mates, which is not applicable to plant reproduction.
To determine which statement is NOT true for both plant and animal reproduction, we can evaluate each option.
A. They both create offspring: This statement is true for both plant and animal reproduction. Both plants and animals reproduce to produce offspring.
B. They no to require fertilization: This statement seems to have a grammatical mistake, as "no to require" doesn't make sense. If we assume it is meant to say "They do not require fertilization," then this statement is true for both plant and animal reproduction. There are reproductive processes in both plants and animals that don't involve fertilization.
C. They can both use gametes (sperm and egg cells for reproduction): This statement is also true for both plant and animal reproduction. Both use gametes, such as sperm and egg cells, for sexual reproduction.
D. They both use courtship behaviors: This statement is NOT true for both plant and animal reproduction. Courtship behaviors are specific to animals, where individuals engage in rituals, displays, or behaviors to attract a mate. Plants, on the other hand, do not exhibit courtship behaviors.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. They both use courtship behaviors, as this statement does not apply to plant reproduction.
