Answer:
Water and nutrient uptake.
Explanation:
The root system of a plant functions as conducting tissue for water and mineral nutrients that are essential for metabolic activities of the plant.
<em>Extensive surface area of roots is an adaptation associated with efficient water and mineral nutrient uptake because this will increase the surface area of roots in contact with the soil.</em>
Answer:
amino acids
Explanation:
Proteins are made up of small units called amino acids. The proteins are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. In addition to nitrogen, proteins may contain phosphorus or sulphur or both. The proteins are referred to as nitrogenous compounds because they contain nitrogen element.
1. The main aim of the Human Genome Project was to determine the DNA Sequence of every human gene.
2. Variation in skin colour is an example of polygenic inheritance
This Human Karyotype is unusual because it has an extra chromosome at chromosome 21.
Klinefelters syndrome is shown in the second figure
Explanation:
1. The Human Genome Project's main goal was to sequence all the 30,000 genes and 3 million base pairs in their makeup for the early detection of diseases, gene therapy and molecular level studies.
2. Human skin colour is determined by the pigment melanin. The Dominant allele is responsible for dark colours as it produces more melanin. The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene and Tyrosinase enzyme codes for the human skin colour. Polygenic inheritance are the traits which are controlled by one or more genes.

<u>The extra chro</u>mosome at the 21st chromosome pairs is called trisomy 21 or Down's Syndrome. It is due to the abnormal cell division/meiosis resulting in an extra X chromosome. This leads to thechanges the in physical development of the individual.
Klinefelter's Syndrome: There are 47 chromosomes and 2 or more X chromosomes in this syndrome of males. The resulting male suffering from Klinefelter would be sterile and have poorly developed testicles.
The answer is Climate change. It will take decades for the
coral reef to recover from the catastrophic climatic changes including El Nino
in 1997-98. Climate Change is the main and undeniable threats to the loss of
the corals. It has negative effects on coral populations in some ways. This
includes the Color Bleaching, Coral Disease, and Ocean Acidification.
