Answer:
The sunflower plants shown are the same species. The differences in
height among the plants is an example of variation
Explanation:
Variation entails difference in a condition which is exactly what happened as regards sunflower plant with different height
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
1) By 11:30pm
2) Shortly before midnight (few minutes to 12:00am)
Explanation:
Since the strain of bacteria takes 1 minute to divide (double its population), and by midnight (12:00am) the entire bottle becomes full, then:
I) Subtract Initial division time from Final division time i.e 12:00 - 11:00 = 1 hour
II) Split 1 hour into two (60minutes makes 1 hour)
I hour/2 = 30 minutes 
Definitely, the bottle will be half filled by 11:30pm
2) Once half filled, the rapidly dividing cells reach for the top of the bottle as midnight approaches. By 11:50pm upwards, bottle space must have been running out 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Explanation:
The effects of gamma radiation are investigated by studying plant germination, growth and development, and biochemical characteristics of maize. Maize dry seeds are exposed to a gamma source at doses ranging from 0.1 to 1 kGy. Our results show that the germination potential, expressed through the final germination percentage and the germination index, as well as the physiological parameters of maize seedlings (root and shoot lengths) decreased by increasing the irradiation dose. Moreover, plants derived from seeds exposed at higher doses did not survive more than 10 days. Biochemical differences based on photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids) content revealed an inversely proportional relationship to doses of exposure. Furthermore, the concentration of chlorophyll a was higher than chlorophyll b in both irradiated and non-irradiated seedlings. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy used to evaluate the amount of free radicals induced by gamma ray treatment demonstrates that the relative concentration of radiation-induced free radicals depends linearly on the absorbed
