Question

If a plant has a mutation and cannot produce Casparian strips, what process won't it be able to do?

Answer 1

If a plant has a mutation and cannot produce casparian strips, the process that it will not be able to do is to control the amounts of water and solutes it absorbs. These casparian strips are found in the roots of plants.

I hope it helps, Regards.

Answer 2

If a plant has no Casparian strips, it will not be able to control the amount of water it absorbs and solutes. Casparian strips regulate the amount of water that gets to the xylem. Without it, a plant won’t be able to control the amount of water going to the xylem.
