There are main 7 characteristics of the life. In case, any material is able to perform these features, then they are considered as a living being:

1. Movement

2. Respiration

3. Reproduction

4. Sensitivity  

5. Growth

6. Excretion

7. Nutrition.

All the living things perform the above function necessarily.  

The rocks are the stone bodies; they do not perform any kind of metabolic activity such as digestion, respiration, excretion etc. The rocks are unable to move, they do not grow. Also, the rocks do not respond to the stimuli, hence, sensitivity is also absent. There is no need to obtain nutrition in the case of rock, hence, the rocks are considered to be non living things.

Crops need nutrients just like people do. A fertile soil will contain all the major nutrients for basic plant nutrition (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium), as well as other nutrients needed in smaller quantities (e.g., calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, zinc, copper, boron, molybdenum, nickel). Usually a fertile soil will also have some organic matter that improves soil structure, soil moisture retention, and also nutrient retention, and a pH between 6 and 7. Unfortunately, many soils do not have adequate levels of all the necessary plant nutrients, or conditions in the soil are unfavorable for plant uptake of certain nutrients.

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Height is affected by multiple pairs of genes on different chromosomes.

Explanation:

The height is a quantitative trait, it is a phenotypic feature that presents a continuous range of variation in the population. The cumulative effects of many genes and the environment produce a normal distribution bell-shaped curve when they are drawn, this being a characteristic of quantitative genetic traits. Examples of quantitative traits include, among others, height, metabolic rate and weight.
