Answer:

Point of attachment for leaves and other shoot parts

Explanation:

Potato tubers are special forms of stems which are usually swollen due to the food they store. Since the potato tubers is a stem, it possesses all parts of a stem including nodes and internodes.

The nodes are the eyes of the potato which are arranged spirally around the tuber. The space between each eyes is the internode. Eyes or nodes of a potato are axillary buds which contains small buds at each site. These buds can form normally shoots (leaves) which subsequently give rise to a branch.

That's why each eyes of a potato has a leaf scar.

Based on what you were told about the reproduction of the snails, write a question that could be researched
ValentinkaMS [17]

Question: If they aren't hermaphrodites, can they still be male and female at the same time?


Facts: Different snails reproduce differently, but most snails are "hermaphrodites." Being a hermaphrodite means that any given snail can be both male and female at the same time. This can make it a lot easier for snails to reproduce and quickly make a whole lot of snails! Some hermaphrodite snails do not need another snail to reproduce, but can make more snails all by themselves (this is called asexual reproduction). Other snails are hermaphrodites but still need another snail to reproduce (this is called sexual reproduction). There are also some snails that aren't hermaphrodites, but are either male or female, and must find a snail of the opposite sex to breed with.

Answer:

Explanation:

1- in passive transport there are 3types. One is diffusion, in which a molecule from the area of higher concentrations moves towards the area of lower concentration. Because diffusion is a type of passive transport that's why it is included in the method of it.

2- glucose is the simplest form of sugar. It moves from the cell membrane through the process of diffusion. Outside the cell level of glucose or it's concentration is high and inside the cell it's concentration is low. Though diffusion process glucose moves from the area of higher concentration to the lower concentration.

Degger [83]

Answer:

b. cis test

Explanation:

A test that is used to determine if the mutation associated with a given phenotype is due to mutations in two different genes or due to different alleles of the same gene is called a complementation test.

A complementation test is also called as a cis-trans test.

If the mutations in a complementation test are located on the same position then the genes are termed as being on the cis position otherwise on the trans-position.

A cis test, that is if the genes are located on the same position serves as a control for the complementation test.
