Why are cells so small? ... As a cell grows bigger, its internal volume enlarges and the cell membrane expands. Unfortunately, the volume increases more rapidly than does the surface area, and so the relative amount of surface area available to pass materials to a unit volume of the cell steadily decreases.

Answer:

Genotype of the parental plant that produced round, yellow seeds is RRgg

Explanation:

Let us say that allele for round shape (R) is dominant over allele for wrinkled shape(r)

and allele for green color (G) is dominant over allele for yellow color of seed.

So a wrinkled green seed will have genotype either "rrGG" or "rrGg"

Like wise a round, yellow seeds will have genotype either "RRgg" or "Rrgg"

It is given that In the F1 generation, half of the plants produced round, yellow seeds and the other half produced round, green seeds.

So if a cross is carried between rrGg and RRgg, the following offspring will be produces

rG rG rg rg

Rg RrGg RrGg Rrgg Rrgg

So genotype “RrGg” gives round and green seeds

And genotype “Rrgg” gives round and green seed

Thus, genotype of the parental plant that produced round, yellow seeds is RRgg

Explanation:

All vital organs begin to lose some functionality as one ages during adulthood. Aging changes occur in all cells, tissues and organs of the body and affect the functioning of all body systems.

The living tissue is made up of cells. There are many different types of cells, but they all have the same basic structure. Tissues are layers of similar cells that fulfill a specific function. Different types of tissues group together to form organs.

There are four basic types of tissue:

The connective tissue supports the other tissues and joins them. This includes bone, blood and lymphatic tissue, in addition to the tissues that provide support and structure to the skin and internal organs.

The epithelial tissue provides coverage for the superficial and deeper layers of the body. The skin and lining of the ducts inside the body, such as the gastrointestinal system, are made of epithelial tissue.

Muscle tissue includes three types of tissue:

Striated muscles, such as those that move the skeleton (also called voluntary muscles)

Smooth muscles (also called involuntary muscles), such as the contents in the stomach and other internal organs

Myocardium, which makes up most of the wall of the heart (also an involuntary muscle)

Nervous tissue is composed of nerve cells (neurons) and is used to carry messages to and from different parts of the body. The brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves are composed of nerve tissue.
