Punnett square predicts the percentage of offspring
Answer: photosynthesis
Explanation: leaves are a very important part of the plant. plants are autotrophic in nature. They can synthesize their own food. Leaves have green color pigment in it which is called chlorophyll. This chemical compound chlorophyll uses light energy from the sun and converts water and carbon dioxide into sugars. By this method, plants prepare their own food.
Answer: Option D. Vestigial trait
Explanation:
Vestigial traits simply involves those traits (such as organs, structurrs or behaviors) which are found or occurs in organisms or animals, that have lost all or most of their original function through evolution. These vestigial structures were organs that performed some important functions in the organism at one point in the past. In most cases, organs or traits once identified as vestigial simply had an unrecognized function.
Answer: Natural selection is the driving force to explain the mechanisms of evolution.
Explanation:
◼In a given population Organisms usually produce more offspring than what the environment can support.
◼ VARIATION, is driving force for the manifestation of sustainable inheritable characteristics from parents in a given population.
◼ Organisms, who acquired certain characteristics from variation; tend to survive than others, and therefore pass these inheritable characteristics to their offspring.
◼There is competition for the available resources among the offspring which leads to a stable population in size after a period of time.
◼Darwin deducted that, variants of best adaptation will be selected for by natural conditions operating in the environment of the population at that particular period (natural selection).Therefore natural selection takes place, and the organisms with best variation will have selective advantage above others. Consequently they have higher survival rates compare to others in the population.
This is survival of the fittest by natural selection
, this is the second conclusion of Darwin theory.
This is because the photosynthesis require optimum pH to be slightly alkaline. Bases, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), are necessary to raise the pH to levels that are ideal for photosynthesis to occur.
Since, pH in soil, fresh water or groundwater becomes acidic, plant uptake and photosynthesis rates decrease. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) raises pH levels and can affect photosynthesis rates.
