Johann gregor mendel's work in genetics focused on traits that exhibit discontinuous variation. what kind of traits are these?

1 answer:

5 0

Discontinuous variation is when a trait is seen in a population in two or more different forms and there is no continuation along a gradient. A good example that Mendel studied is flower color. The flowers were either white or purple. There was no in between color. This is caused by an allele for purple or a lack of an allele for purple, which produces no pigment, or white.

CAM photosynthesis limits CO2 fixation to nighttime hours in order to (A) allow water to enter leaf spaces during the daylight h

bixtya [17]

Answer:

(B) open stomata only at night, limiting water loss because of heat and low humidity.

Explanation:

CAM plants are found in the regions characterized by very hot and dry environmental conditions. These plants reduce the water loss through transpiration by exhibiting CAM photosynthesis.

They open the stomata during night time when the air is cooler and rich in moisture. They take in CO2 during night time and fix it into the oxaloacetate which in turn is converted into malate and is stored in the vacuoles.

During day time, stomata remain closed to prevent water loss and the CO2 trapped during night time (released by decarboxylation of malate) enter the Calvin cycle.
