8 0

Inheritance is the process by which traits are passed from the parents to their offspring. The basic unit of inheritance in human is the DNA. For traits to be passed from the parent to the offspring, the DNA in the cell must be duplicated and this happens through the process of cellular reproduction.

Alja [10]

Question is incomplete. Complete question has been attached.

Answer:

carries food produced by leaves

Explanation:

The diagram is a cross section of stem of a dicot plant, specifically <em>Hypericum perforatum</em>. It shows all the structures present in the stem like xylem, phloem, pith, cortex etc. The structure labelled X is phloem. It is present between xylem (stained red) and peripheral cortex. Phloem is responsible for conduction of sugars and nutrients in the plant thus it carries the food produced by leaves. Together xylem and phloem make the vascular tissue which surrounds the central pith (stained bluish-green).

Degger [83]

The answer is horizontal gene transfer.

Horizontal gene transfer enables gene flow between genomes of two organisms. It is a common process between different species of <span>prokaryotes and even, between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. </span>When trying to reconstruct evolution and phylogenetic relationship, scientists face some difficulties because they cannot say the common gene transfer with the horizontal one.
