The reason is to help in seed dispersal. Seed dispersal is the movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant. Due to the fact that plants have very limited mobility they have to rely upon variety of dispersal; vectors to transport their seeds, including both abiotic and biotic factors. Seed dispersal is important because if seed are not dispersed, many germinating seedlings will grow very close to the parent plant which would result to competition between every one of the seedlings as well as the parent. The competition for essential growth factors such as light, space, water and nutrients.

The mechanism that breaks the linkage between linked genes is
gregori [183]

Answer:

Crossing over

Explanation:

Crossing over is the process during which two chromatids of two homologous chromosomes exchange part of their genetic segments. It occurs during the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis I.

Linked genes are mostly inherited together and do not exhibit independent assortment. However, when linked genes are present far apart from each other on the same chromosome, crossing over can occur between them to produce recombinant chromatids. Therefore, crossing over can break the linkage and produce recombinant progeny as it occurs during the independent assortment of unlinked genes.

Answer: Increased concentration of glucose in leaf cells

Explanation:

Based off the flowchart, the process that it's describing is photosynthesis because during this process sunlight and CO2 are taken in by a plant to produce glucose. If we are exposed to sunlight and are increasing the use of CO2, then there must be a higher concentration of glucose in the leaf cells. Glucose is a product of photosynthesis.
