Each of pollan's chapters focuses on one particular plant and pollan suggests that each plant satisfies a specific human desire. The potato satisfies our desire for control – even more so now that we control its genes.

Though people might consider potatoes ordinary everyday fare, history demonstrates how crucial this vegetable is to humankind. Prior to the invention of the potato, conditions were challenging; many people, particularly in northern European nations, suffered from starvation and famine.

Malnutrition and starvation were eradicated in the countries that embraced the potato, and as a result, they grew stronger and more powerful. It is even conceivable that the potato spread resulted in a transfer of power from southern European nations to northern ones.

lord [1]
<h2>Competitive exclusion principle.</h2>

Explanation:

The fundamental and realized niches of B. balanoides are identical, but the fundamental and realized niches of C. stellatus are different.

All the possible combination of resources and condition under which a species can grow, survive and reproduce is called its fundamental niche. Whereas, the more limited set of resources and condition under which a species can grow, survive and reproduce in the presence of competitors and predators is termed as its realized niche.

Competitive exclusion principle states that if two competing species coexist in a stable, homogeneous environment, then they do so as a result of differentiation in their realized niche.

<em>B. balanoides</em> can use a wider range of resources than<em> C. stellatus </em>because its fundamental and realized niches are identical . Hence thrives to exclude C.stellatus.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Any life events that takes place in a cell depends upon the central dogma of life that is the DNA getting transcribed into RNA and the RNA getting translated into protein, therefore we can conclude that the sequences of amino acids are based on the sequences of DNA that are present inside the chromosomes that are packed in a nucleus of a  cell.
