Explanation:
The cuticle is a layer of tissue on the outside of most leaves and stems, and its primary function is to help the plant conserve moisture. Since hydrophytes are full of water and moisture, it does not need a cuticle.Most aquatic plants don’t need to seal in moisture, so they don’t have cuticles
Complete question:
Imagine that a newly discovered, recessively inherited disease is expressed only in individuals with type O blood, although the disease and blood group are independently inherited.
A normal man with type A blood and a normal woman with type B blood have already had one child with the disease. The woman is now pregnant for a second time.
Assuming that both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease, what is the probability that the second child will also have the disease? Express your answer as a fraction using the slash symbol and no spaces (for example, 1/2).
Answer:
The probability that the second child will also have the disease is 1/16.
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- Two genes independently inherited: one for blood type, the other for disease
- Man with type A blood x Woman with type B blood
- Both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease; Dd
If the man has A blood, and the woman has B blood, and they already have an affected child, this means that they must be heterozygous for blood type too.

Answer: Option (1)
Explanation:
The extinction event played an important role in the creation of new diverse life forms on earth. After an extinction event, both globally and locally, more than 75% of animal species gets vanish and the only those highly resistant life supporting organisms survive and with due course of time, they undergoes evolution, thereby bringing changes to the existing life forms. This is how they initiates and helps in the increasing species diversity.
Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
The correct answer is: B) Different traits are inherited separately.
Mendel’s conclusions as a result of his experiments with dihybrid crosses are known as Mendel’s laws.
• Mendel’s law of Segregation: During the gametes formation (meiosis), alleles are separated so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene
• Mendel’s law of Independent Assortment: The segregation of alleles of one gene is independent to that of any other gene
Mendel also defined the Principle of Dominance: Recessive alleles will be masked by dominant alleles when are together in heterozygous genotype.
