the answer is <u>root hairs</u>

Answer:

The correct answer would be the root hairs.

The root hairs are the absorbent hairs present on the root of the plant.

They are similar to microvilli in our small intestine.

They are small in size and thus, increase the surface area of the roots which helps in absorption of water and minerals.

Water is usually absorbed by the process of osmosis at the site of root hairs.

g Two closely related species of plant (A and B) hybridize to form a new species (C). Species A is diploid and has 8 chromosomes
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

allopolyploidy

Explanation:

Polyploidy is the condition by which a cell might have more than two chromosome sets that form homologous pairs. It might occur due to a failure or abnormality in cell division.  

Autopolyploidy

Refer to a type of polyploidy in which an organism has more than two copies of homologous chromosomes. It results from the duplication of a group of chromosomes of the same species. Autopolyploid individuals have <u>at least three groups of homologous chromosomes</u>. Autopolyploidy is produced by the<u> gamete fusion of the same progenitor - same species</u>-, duplicating the number of chromosomes of diploid species. The autopolyploid cell has groups of homologous chromosomes. Autopolyploidy is produced mainly due to non-disjunction during meiosis.

Allopolyploidy

Refer to another type of polyploidy in which species have more than three sets of chromosomes in their cells. Allopolyploidy <u>occurs when two different species mate</u>, leading to the fusion of gametes that belong to different species and produce a new hybrid. The chromosomic complement has more than two copies of chromosomes. The hybrid is infertile with the parental species. The allopolyploid cells have chromosome groups that are not homologous.  

In the exposed example two different species mate and produce a hybrid species.

What is the effect of large populations of deer on ecosystems?​
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

White-tailed deer fill the niche, or role, in ecosystems of both herbivore and prey. They are affected by, and themselves affect, their ecosystem. In forests, they have been described as a “keystone species” because their feeding activity can directly and indirectly affect many plants and animals.

Describe what messages are sent by the nervous system when you go outside wearing a sweater on a very hot day.​
mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

In homeostatic control processes any deviation from the norm sets into motion the appropriate corrective mechanisms which restore the norm. This rectification occurs through negative feedback. When you go outside wearing a sweater on a hot day, the body sends messages to the CNS and the following occurs:

  • The superficial blood vessels vasodilate so that more blood flows near the surface. This encourages heat loss.
  • Sweating and panting. Sweat secreted by the sweat glands evaporate from the surface of the body as it absorbs latent heat.
  • The metabolic rate falls so that the body generates less heat. You also become less active
  • Behavioural response by seeking cooler areas, cold drinks or removal of the sweater.
