Answer:

The correct answer is letter D. Conventional breeding

Explanation:

In conventional genetic improvement a plant is crossed with another of the same species, with no incorporation of genes from another organism into the plant's genome, requiring repeated crossings until reaching the desired improved cultivar. Only in transgenics or genetic engineering are genes from another organism incorporated into the plant's genome.

Answer:

  • <u>Option-</u> (D)

The process which was used to derive all of the varieties of apples that we have today is the conventional form of breeding and that the different methods which are mentioned along with it are more advanced then the conventional form of plants breeding.

Explanation:

  1. There different techniques are used by research workers and scientist to have better results and to have a variety of products for improving there health effects on humans.
  2. So, the conventional form of breeding involves those organisms which can get along easily and survive to produce more productive form of products.

<h2>The correct answer is: Mutualism.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Mutualism can be defined as a type of symbiotic relationship.
  • Symbiosis can be defined as the type of ecological interplay in between two species localized in the same habitat in which at least one of the species gets benefited in the form of food, shelter or protection due to the interaction.
  • Mutualism is a type of positive symbiosis in which both the species involved in the ecological interplay benefits due to the interaction in between them.
  • In the given question, some micro-organisms survive in the digestive tract of the cattle.
  • These micro-organisms produce the enzyme, cellulase, which helps in digesting cellulose present in the food consumed by the cattle.
  • The cattle is incapable of producing this cellulase enzyme by itself and is dependent on the micro-organisms for its synthesis.
  • Hence, the the micro-organisms help the cattle in obtaining nutrition and energy by the digestion of cellulose.
  • On the other hand, the micro-organisms get shelter, nutrition and protection in the gut of the cattle.

The rate of water loss from the leaves of a potted plant can be measured by determining the mass of the plant at one-hour interv
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

A potometer measures water loss from leaves. A bubble potometer measures the rate of water loss from a plant by transpiration. A weight photometer measures the amount of water lost by a plant through transpiration. The washing line method is used to prove that most water loss occurs from the lower surface of the leaf.

potometer' (from Greek ποτό = drunken, and μέτρο = measure), sometimes known as transpirometer, is a device used for measuring the rate of water uptake of a leafy shoot which is almost equal to the water lost through transpiration. The causes of water uptake are photosynthesis and transpiration
