Prescribe how mountains change in abiotic conditions with an increase in elevations

Biology

olga55 [171]3 years ago
5 0
The first famous natural scientist to determine how plants change with altitude on tall mountains was Alexander Von Humboldt and Aime Bonpland when climbing some very high volcanoes in South America like Chimborazo at well ove 20,000 feet high and they observed that different plants grow at different altitudes as altitude increases so that as the mountain was ascended the new environments of temperature, moisture,etc would become abiotic for the lower plants but acceptable for the higher elevation plants. In these cases in South America, the lower elevations had very warm temperatures and high humidity so would grow tropical plants with probably large leaves like palm trees etc. On the other hand at high elevations the temperature would be significantly decreased and probably humidity decreased too so only rugged plants like say lichens could grow. At intermediate elevations, most likely say pine trees could grow as I know they do at moderate elevations in Honduras for example.

9. Consider the below Punnett square cross. Explain how you could use it to determine which parent
kogti [31]

Answer: The father determines the biological sex of a baby

Explanation: Human beings have two sex chromosomes, males have XY chromosomes whereas females have XX chromosomes. During fertilization, an egg from a woman fuses with a sperm cell from a man to form a zygote. Women have two X chromosomes (XX) and any point in time they can only release an egg bearing an X chromosome but males have one X and one Y chromosome, therefore they can either release a sperm cell with an X chromosome or a sperm cell with a Y chromosome. When an egg with X-chromosome fuses with a sperm cell with an X chromosome, the resulting baby is a female but when an egg with an X chromosome fuses with a sperm cell with a Y chromosome, the resulting baby is a male.

What makes the difference in both sexes is the Y chromosome from the man, therefore the father determines the biological sex of a baby.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

Plasmodesmata are the plasma membrane lined pores present in the cells of the plants. Inside these pores runs a closed tubelike structure which is an extension of the endoplasmic reticulum.

The plasmodesmata allows cell to cell communication which involves symplast mode of transport that is through its cytoplasm.

The small water soluble molecules like amino acid and sugars can easily pass through these plasmodesmata via diffusion. The large molecules can be transported through these plamodesmata through selective diffusion.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
