If all humans had the same DNA, and one person got the cold, everyone would die at some point. The more diversity there is the more chance of surviving an outbreak or natural disaster or something. Think of the flu. there are HUNDREDS of strains out there. some are resistant to our medicines and others aren't.

Lesechka [4]

Answer: Oxygen

Explanation: Photosynthesis is a process by which plants use carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen.

Photosynthetic reactions are divided into two phases: 1). light dependent reactions and 2). light independent reactions.

1) In light dependent reactions, chlorophyll and other light absorbing pigments absorb light energy and conserve it as ATP and NADPH with the simultaneous liberation of oxygen. This reaction occurs only when plants are illuminated. In light reactions, light energy is used to split water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen, the hydrogen ions produced are transferred to NADP+ to form NADPH, ATP is also produced in light dependent reactions.

2) In light independent reactions, ATP and NADPH produced in the light dependent reactions are used to drive the light independent reactions in which ATP and NADPH are used to reduce CO2 to form trioses, starch, sucrose and other products derived from them.

Why can genes be considered derived characters?
aev [14]

A derived character refers to a particular character that is shared by members of a particular population. Genes are considered to be derived characters because THEY ARE TRANSFER FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION FROM PARENTS TO THEIR OFFSPRING. Genes are derived from the DNA molecule of the parents and these are passed to their offspring during the process of cell division in reproduction.

Lerok [7]
B) Photosynthesis The Sun is the ultimate source of all energy in the universe. Plants being the main primary producers or autotrophs, use solar energy to make their own food through photosynthesis, thus converting energy into the organic matter that can be consumed by all organisms. They  form the basis of almost all food chains from where consumers derive their food.
