Contaminated water such as polluted water can sometimes cause an explosion of new plant growth by providing necessary nutrients and food and at other times it can kill or harm plants such as by raising or lowering acidity. Plants need at least good levels of potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus for healthy growth and by corollary, biodiversity. I believe that water which contains these elements, even if it be contaminated with the right contaminants will aid in biodiversity by enhancing growth. On the other hand, if there is too much salt, for example in the water it will prevent growth and inhibit photosynthesis.

Are vascular plants small
Viktor [21]

Answer: The vascular plants are set apart in two main ways: Vascular plants have vascular tissues, which circulate resources through the plant. This feature allows vascular plants to grow to a larger size than non-vascular plants, which lack these specialized conducting tissues and are therefore restricted to relatively small sizes.

How has science and technology influenced everyday life? <br> Explain
aliya0001 [1]

Science and technology have influenced everyday life for thousands of years. If it hadn't we would still be living in caves and struggling to stay alive. Everything you see around you is a form of technology. Science itself can be considered a form of technology because it has helped us advance as humans and become more able to overcome disease and predators. Most humans today wake up and are subjected to technology's control because we've fed into it so much that it would extremely hard, if not impossible, for us to survive without it.

How could the botanist best determine whether the genotype of the green-pod plant is homozygous or heterozygous?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Homozygosity is when the two alleles (gene form) are the same while heterozygosity is when the alleles are of different types.

In a gene, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another. The allele being expressed or that masks is called the DOMINANT allele while the allele being masked is the RECESSIVE allele.

A recessive allele will only be expressed (phenotypically) if the two alleles are of the same type i.e. homologous but when a dominant phenotype is expressed, one cannot ascertain whether the organism is heterozygous or homozygous for that gene. e.g T is the gene coding for height in plant, T which represents tallness is dominant over t, representing shortness. In a heterozygous (Tt) and homozygous dominant (TT) state, the plant will be phenotypically tall but will only be short in a homozygous recessive (tt) state.

Since the plant will be tall in homozygous (TT) or heterozygous (Tt), we cannot detect the actual genotype of the plant. Hence, a test cross is done.

A test cross is a cross between a dominant phenotype and a homozygous recessive in order to determine the actual genotype of the dominant organism i.e. whether homozygous or heterozygous.

In this case involving pod color gene, since the botanist is trying to determine whether the genotype of the green pod plant is heterozygous or homozygous, it means the allele for green pod is dominant over that of yellow pod (recessive).

N.B: The recessive trait can only be expressed if it is homozygous. Therefore, the yellow pod plant has homozygous recessive genotype.

A test cross is conducted by the botanist to determine whether the green pod plant is heterozygous or homozygous by crossing it with a yellow pod plant (homozygous recessive).

If any of the offspring plants exhibit recessive traits i.e. yellow pods, it means the parent green pod plant is heterozygous but if all the offspring plants show phenotypic dominant traits i.e green pod, it means the parent green pod plant is homozygous.
