Answer: The study, by Dr. Tim Brodribb and Dr. Taylor Field of the University of Tasmania and University of Tennessee, used plant physiology to reveal how flowering plants, including crops, were able to dominate land by evolving more efficient hydraulics, or 'leaf plumbing', to increase rates of photosynthesis.
Explanation: The reason for the success of this evolutionary step is that under relatively low atmospheric C02 conditions, like those existing at present, water transport efficiency and photosynthetic performance are tightly linked. Therefore adaptations that increase water transport will enhance maximum photosynthesis, exerting substantial evolutionary leverage over competing species.
The evolution of dense leaf venation in flowering plants, around 140-100 million years ago, was an event with profound significance for the continued evolution of flowering plants. This step provided a 'cretaceous productivity stimulus package' which reverberated across the biosphere and led to these plants playing the fundamental role in the biological and atmospheric functions of the earth.
In order to conduct a research you should have an dependent variable, independent variable and the control variable. so in order to study phototropism, then you should need sun light and the growth of the plant and you must have a control that why you need a dark room.
Answer- C Genetic Drift Geographic Isolation.
The expected e heterozygous phenotype would be orange.
Codominance is a type of non-Mendelian inheritance in which both alleles of one genotype are simultaneously expressed. So, in this example if allele A is responsible for red flower color and allele a for yellow flower color, Aa genotype (both alleles) will give both colors (red and yellow mixed together give orange).
As the vast Pangea continent broke apart due to tectonic
movements, the movement of animals was restricted to their continent hence gene flow
between populations was reduced. As the tectonic plates moved across latitudes, their climate
changed and consequently, the fauna on
the continents. This necessitated for speciation of the offspring population from parent
population so as to adapt to the
new habitats. Some animals were unable to adapt
while others such as the reptiles, adapted well.
