B

Gene flow is the transfer of genes/alleles from one population to another.

Explanation:

Gene flow adds to genetic diversity of the population into which the gene transfer occurred. In this case the pollen carries different forms of genes and alleles from the population it came from and when it cross-fertilizes with the new population, it adds to the genetic pool of the new population.

Another example of gene flow is through migration - the individuals of  from one population join another population and continue to mate randomly in the new population. The immigrants come with new alleles of genes that become amalgamated into the new population by cross-breeding.

What are the functions of leaves? (Select all that apply.) PLEASE ANSWER ASAP AND GET 25 POINTS
Fantom [35]

The main function of a leaf is to produce food for the plant by photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants their characteristic green colour, absorbs light energy. The internal structure of the leaf is protected by the leaf epidermis, which is continuous with the stem epidermis.

Conifer Leaf.  

Microphyll Leaf.  

Megaphyll Leaf.

A leaf is an above-ground plant organ and it is green. Its main functions are photosynthesis and gas exchange. A leaf is often flat, so it absorbs the most light, and thin, so that the sunlight can get to the chloroplasts in the cells. Most leaves have stomata, which open and close.

The two main functions performed by the leaf are photosynthesis and transpiration. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make their food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

Which of the following is not necessary for a plant to do photosynthesis?
MakcuM [25]
Soil because that has to deal with roots, and photosynthesis happens in leaves. So the soil doesn't have anything to do with photosynthesis.
