1 - A ground level plant develops curling tendrils that wrap around other objects so it can "climb".
This is a species changing over time as it was originally a ground level plant but began to climb higher.
2 - Over many generations.
This is because diversity takes time and has to be integrated through generations; for instance, marriage. In a family, it becomes more diverse after the next generation as each generation is likely to marry someone of another ethnicity and allow the family tree to become more diverse.
3 - Mutate or Survive
It depends on what it means by mutate - develop a mutation to make it adaptable? If that's the case, then mutations within the DNA would be a result of adaptation and increase survival. Otherwise, survive is the obvious answer as adaption allows for species to move around and live longer.
Hope this helps!
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
Answer/Explanation:
The light-dependent reactions use light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis. the energy storage molecule ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH. The ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions are used to make sugars in the next stage of photosynthesis, the Calvin cycle.
