Answer;

Waxes forms protective layers on plants and animals that repel water. beeswax, birds feathers, carnauba wax, jojoba oil, lanolin.

Explanation;

-Waxes are nonpolar lipids that form protective layers on plants and animals. For example, waxes cover the feathers of some aquatic birds to keep the feathers dry. On the other hand, plants often have leaves coated with waxes to prevent water from evaporating off the plant surface.

-Because of their hydrophobic nature, waxes prevent water from sticking on the surface of these structures.

The water repellant properties of waxes is very useful in the leaves of some plants, in the feathers of birds and also in cuticle of insects. Waxes in plant leaves reduce the amount of water that is lost by the leaves. The wax that is present in the birds' feather prevent them from getting wet with water.

TRUE or FALSE. | There is a gravitational attraction force between you and this computer.
kolbaska11 [484]

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.

In garden peas, the axial (A) flower position is completely dominant to the terminal (a) flower position. You cross a true-breed
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

AA

Explanation:

A true breeding organism for a particular trait is an organism that would produce progeny  with the same trait whe self fertilized.

Hence, since axial flower is represented by the allele A, a true breeding flowering plant will have the genotype AA.

Axial flower (A) is dominant over terminal flower (a).

True-breeding axial flowering plant will have the genotype AA.

True breeding terminal flowering plant will have the genotype aa.

AA is crossed with aa.

AA   x   aa

offspring: Aa, Aa, Aa and Aa.

All the offspring will exhibit axial flowering.
