Offspring inherit<u> one copy of each </u><u>gene</u><u> from both parents</u> if one or both parents passes on a gene with DNA that does not code for functional proteins, disorders like phenylketonuria can result.

<h3>How do parents pass on one copy of each gene to their children?</h3>

Their mother passes one copy on to them through the egg, while their father passes the other one along (via the sperm). Each egg and sperm have a single set of 23 chromosomes. Two copies of each chromosome and two copies of each gene are present when the sperm fertilizes the egg, resulting in the formation of an embryo.

An autosomal recessive metabolic genetic condition called phenylketonuria (PKU) is defined by a mutation that renders the gene for the hepatic enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) inactive.

Write an essay how water moves from the soil to leaves of a mesophyte
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Water moves from the soil to the leaves of mesophytes by osmosis and xylem conduction.

<h3>What are mesophytes?</h3>

Mesophytes are plants that are adapted to moderate water environments only. In other words, they cannot survive extremely or extremely wet environments.

Water moves from the soil to the leaves of mesophytes as follows:

1. Water moves into the root hair by osmosis

2. Water is conducted upward from the root hairs by special cells known as xylems.

3. Conducted water reaches various plant parts, including leaves.
