Answer:

The cork cambium is a natural insulator that protects woody plants from an hostile environment.

Explanation:

The cork Cambium is a tissue that belongs to the epidermis, it is responsible for the secundary growth in the plant and replaces the epidermis in roots and stems. The cork cambium also protects the plant from overhydration, it is waterproof and has really selective ways to let the water into the plant (apoplastic and symplastic pathway).

There is some special plants in the coast of the tropical area called mangrooves, these plants has really specialized cork cambium that controls not only the water levels but also the salt levels into the plant.

The cork cambium is really important because protects and regulates the plant and its environment.

Within a pedigree, only males exhibit a trait of interest and the trait commonly passes from a male to his grandsons through his
Anni [7]

Answer:

X-linked/Sex-linked recessive inheritance

Explanation:

<em>The most likely mode of inheritance of the trait is an X-linked recessive inheritance.</em>

The sex chromosome of a male is XY while that of a female is XX. The Y chromosome is hypothesized not to carry any allele ordinarily. Hence, a male child only needs to inherit one affected allele to become affected for recessive X-linked traits.

During gamete formation, the sex chromosome of the male segregates into X and Y gametes while that of the female segregates into X and X gametes. During fertilization, the X gamete of the male is usually inherited by the female while one of the X gametes of the female is usually inherited by the male.

<u>Assuming a father is affected for an X-linked recessive trait, the affected X chromosome will be passed to a female child and such a child would be a carrier, rather than being affected since she requires the two X chromosomes to be affected in order to exhibit the trait. </u>

<u>The affected X chromosome is thus passed to her male child according to the law of inheritance of the sex chromosome. Hence, the grandson of the affected man inherits the trait through the daughter of the affected man.</u>
