Spines primarily have a protective function in plants. The spines can be sharp, and form a physical barrier against herbivores which may want to feed on the plant. Spines however also have other benefits. The spines on a jumping cactus allow segments of the cactus to stick to passing large animals or humans, thereby allowing the cactus to spread to other areas through asexual propagation. Spines are modified leaves, and spines have a much lower surface area than leaves, and therefore can reduce transpirative loss of water by the plant during harsh droughts. Some trees in alpine regions, such as pine trees, have developed spine-like leaves to prevent the accumulation of snow in the branches.
Do you have options to pick from
First of all, sex is a type of sexual reproduction. It’s meiosis. In meiosis, it has different stages and one of those stages is called Prophase 1. In prophase 1, genetic variation occurs.
I would say that many of our heritable traits are <span>influenced by several genes and by the environnement.
It's, for the biggest part, because of the mutations. You have your heritables traits thanks to your mom and your dad. But a mutation caused by either several rays like ultraviolets or chemicals can changed your traits.
Hope this helps !

Atomic Theory:</h2><h2>
Introduction</h2>
The atomic theory of Atoms Summed up is the idea that all matter is made of tiny particles that are imperceptible to the mortal eye; these particles are named Atoms
<h2>
Paragraph 1:</h2>
John Dalton was the first to consider that all matter was made of tiny particles known as atoms. He invented the idea that matter is formed of atoms varying in weight.
<h2>
Paragraph 2:</h2>
I created this model of the dissimilarities between three kinds of matter-- solids, liquids, and gases. The distance between atoms in each state tells us what type of matter we observe.
