Answer: The answer is D: to allow maximum exposure to light and to reduce shading of lower leaves.
Explanation:
The arrangement of leaves on a Stem is known as Phyllotaxy. It is used to enable them obtain maximum exposure to sunlight.
Leaves are classified as either alternate, spiral or opposite.
Leaves with alternate pattern arise at a different point (node) on the stem. This helps reduce shading of the lower leaves.
Answer:
The correct answer is - molars.
Explanation:
Mechanical digestion takes place inside the mouth of an organism by the process called masticating with the help of teeth. There are four types of teeth in the mouth all help in the digestion of the feed incisor cuts the food, canines tear the food, premolars, and molars chew or masticate the food.
The main and major tooth that helps in mechanical digestion is the molar to chew food so it can mix with the saliva to make bolus and chemical digestion.
Answer:
Genotypic ratio = 16 WwDd: 0
Phenotypic ratio = 16 white, disk shaped fruit : 0 yellow, sphere shaped fruit
Explanation:
This question involves two different genes coding for fruit color and fruit shape respectively. The allele for white fruit color (W) is dominant over yellow fruit color (w) and disk shaped fruit (D) is dominant over sphere-shaped fruit (d).
According to this question, If a squash plant pure-breeding for white, disk shaped fruit (WWDD) is crossed with a plant pure breeding for yellow, sphere shaped fruit (wwdd), the following gametes will be produced by each GAMETE:
WWDD - WD, WD, WD, WD
wwdd - wd, wd, wd, wd
Using these gametes in a punnet square, all of the offsprings will have genotype WwDd, which is phenotypically white and disk shaped fruit.
The genotypic ratio is 4 WwDd: 0
The phenotypic ratio is 16 white, disk shaped fruit : 0 yellow, sphere shaped fruit.
