I believe the answer would be B.
Water is mostly water molecules so adding water to an acid or base reduces the concentration of ions in the solution. When an acidic solution is diluted with water the concentration of H + ions decreases and the pH of the solution increases towards 7.
C) they are passed onto offspring
All of Darwin's selections are based upon the tenet that they are heritable, which is to say passed from one generation to the next
The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:
A. mature leaves
B. shoot apical meristem
C. cell elongation zone
<span>D. axillary buds
</span>
I think the correct answers are option B and D. It would be at the shoot apical meristem and the axillary buds that <span> a vascular plant would you expect to find totipotent cells. Hope this answers the question.</span>
