Silent mutations are base substitutions that result in no change of the amino acid or amino acid functionality when the altered messenger RNA (mRNA) is translated.
Answer: Mycorrhiza
Explanation: Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic relationship between a plant and a fungi. Nearly 80 percent of all plants with root systems participate in this mutualistic relationship. In mycorrhiza, the fungus forms a haustoria that penetrates the cell walls of the plant's roots. The fungus absorbs all the nutrients from the roots as they are transported to the plant. In return, the fungus gives the plant necessary chemicals and minerals that it cannot properly reach on its own.
They surround and engulf foreign objects and organisms- process called phagocytosis
Answer:
mitosis, cell growth, and differentiation
Explanation:
There are several ways through which plants grow which may include the process of mitosis mainly that involves cell division. The increase in height in plants is attributed to not only cell division but also growth of the newly formed cell.
Mitosis involved division of cell and in cell growth, cells increase their size that ultimately cause growth of plant height. The highly active growth cells are meristem cells that are found at tips of the plants. They are actively dividing zones of plants and with their division and growth plant increases their heights.
Another mechanism, responsible for increase in height is cell differentiation. Differentiation is the process during which cells are specialized to perform specialized function. For example: Xylem are specialized for transport of water. Phloem are specialized for the transport of food. Similarly, some cells are specialized for growth and they are aimed at increasing in size and division that ultimately increase the plant height.
So, mitosis, cell growth, and differentiation are the mechanisms, that increase plant height due to changes in specialized regions of cells in the tips of their branches.
