Different structures and functions of roots
Explanation:
Roots are the underground descending non-green part of the plant.
Root functions: Anchorages the plant to the soil, absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.
Characteristics: Positively geotropic and hydrotropic, negatively phototropic; does not have nodes, internodes or stems.
Types:
- Tap root
- Adventitious root – fibrous, foliar and true adventitious roots
Structure and functions:
- Root cap or Calyptra: Cap-like structure covering the root tip
.
- Function: protects the meristematic tissues of the root, secretes mucilage which enhances the root tips to grow into the hard soil.
- Meristematic zone or growing point sub-terminal behind root cap. These cells are inverted and looks like a dome.
- Function – helps in the root growth by adding new cells to the root tip and other basal regions
- Zone of elongation behind the meristematic zone.
- Function – helps in elongation of the root
- Root hair zone: This is the zone of differentiation where cells differentiate into vascular tissues like phloem, xylem, endodermis, cortex etc.
- The main function of root hair is to increase the total surface area of root to facilitate more absorption of water and other nutrients from the soil
- Zone of maturation: the major and mature portion of a root.
- Function - lateral roots originates from this zone and radial differentiation leads to secondary growth.
Answer:
A parasites is known to cause malformations, but only when it attacks tadpoles at a certain point in their development. Predators can cause missing or shortened limbs, as a partially eaten tadpoles regenerate lost tissues.
Temporary changes would be weather, since it can change at any givin time another example would be tides coming in because they vary by day, or wet sand becoming dry sand!
Ans.
Sex-linked genes are those genes that found on sex-chromosomes (X and Y chromosomes) and their phenotypic expression for a trait depends on the gender of the offspring.
Most of the sex-linked genes are present on X chromosomes as X chromosomes have more number of genes as they are made up of more DNA as compared to Y chromosome.
However, male individuals are more likely to exhibit the sex-linked traits. It is because most of the sex-linked traits are recessive and males have only one copy of X chromosome, while females have two copies of X chromosome. One mutated copy in male can exhibit the trait, while in females, both of the mutated copies are required to exhibit that trait.
Answer:
Drought is 19%
Flooding is 9%
Freeze is 2%
Severe storm is 15%
Tropical cyclone is 48%
Wildfire is 3%
Winter storm is 4%
Explanation:
220 + 108 + 25 + 178 + 550 +31 + 41 = 1153
Basically, you take the number of each natural disaster plus it all together. That is your total.
You then take individually the number and divide it by the total (1153), once you get a decimal number you times it by 100. Which give you the percent
You then do this for the rest of the other natural disasters.
Hoped this helped!
