Ans. (B). Genes.
The chemicals that kill the weeds are known as herbicides. Herbicide-resistance is defined as the inherited ability of weeds to survive an application of herbicide, that can kill a normal weed plant of same species.
The resistance develops due to mutations in genes that were sensitive to those chemicals in wild-type forms. As genes are responsible for transfer of characteristics from one to another generation, the herbicide-resistance is also passed down to generations through genes.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
62 -- The roots absorb water for the plant, and also provide it with stability, ie to keep it from falling over.64 -- Structure B is a leaf, and a leaf's main function is to take in sunlight and perform photosynthesis, which makes food for the plant.
The plant should be de-topped at least 4 cm above the surface of the soil.
The stump of the plant is tightly fitted with the apparatus.
Tube is filled with water, not completely but at least one-fourth
Remember to note the initial water level.
Note the final water level and draw interference by calculating the difference between two levels.
Answer:
Although the question is incomplete, missing options are
- In 1997, they reduced their water consumption.
- In 1996, they planted more trees to curb water pollution.
- In 1994, they used only bottled water for drinking purpose.
- In 1995, they complained about foul odor and taste in water.
Correct option: <em><u>In 1996, they planted more trees to curb water pollution.
</u></em>
Explanation:
Among given options, a clear trend of nitrate level can be seen. <u>Initially, the nitrate level increased in water in first two years (1994 and 1995) and then it decreased significantly</u>.
From the conditions given in the question, the most probable answer is B the plantation effect (<u>phytoremediation</u>). During phytoremediation, <u>plants take up nutrients including nitrate</u> from the water via roots. This nitrogen is then used for the growth and development of plant body mass (e.g. amino acids). As more plants were growing in later years, higher reduction of nitrate was seen. Resultantly, in 1997, the concentration of nitrate was dropped to 7.3 mg/L.
The other options are not correct due to following reasons.
A. There is no information on water consumption in the question
C. There is no information on people's behavior on drinking water lifestyle.
D. Nitrate in the water cannot be smelled or tasted.
<span>a.) Ozone depletion
b.) habitat fragmentation
c.) decreased biodiversity
d.) fossil fuel consumption
So answer choices a, b, and c are all <em>results</em> of nonrenewable sources, but an actual example would be fossil fuel consumption or d,), as the fossil fuels are the source and they cannot be reused :)</span>
