The correct answer is - the root/the tuber.

The potato plant is a plant that is part of the tuber plants. This type of plants do not use their root as the other plants do. The root in these plants is used both for food production and for food storage, with the food storage actually being its primary function.

Because of this, these plants have roots that rounded or elongated, but solid and as one part, not divided into multiple parts. Their roots have been called tubers because of their shape, but also because of their function. The biggest portion of the stored food in the tubers is starch. The potato is actually the vegetable that has the biggest amount of natural sugars in it through the high amount of starch.

That would be the tuber, which is formed from a root or stem of a plant.

A 51-year-old woman who was born congenitally blind and deaf is able to distinguish individuals by a light touch of the individu
icang [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B

Explanation:

Meissner corpuscles are one of four types of mechanoreceptors which response to mechanical pressure.

The corpuscles are very adaptive and sensitive receptors which convert the stimuli to action potential and send them to the Central nervous system.

The corpuscles are found in the areas which are exposed to touch or are sensitive to touch like in the fingers of the hand and the lips.

Since the deaf and blind lady distinguishes people with a light touch, therefore, these Meissner corpuscles are involved in helping identify the individuals.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Is coffin Lowry syndrome more common in males or females? why or why not?
tiny-mole [99]
1). Thus, the syndrome is typically more severe in males because males have only one X chromosome, while females have two. It is unclear how changes (mutations) in the DNA structure of the gene lead to the clinical findings. There is no cure and no standard course of treatment for Coffin-Lowry syndrome.

A point mutation changes the DNA sequence CGA to CGT, but the same protein is still produced. Which point mutation occurred?
choli [55]


If the same protein keeps being produced it could be said that nothing is happening even though something happened, and if nothing is changing you could say that it is a silent mutation, which means that the answer is C.) Silent. The change in the amino acids and the nucleotides happened but it is silent and does not affect the outcome of the protein synthesis.
