The answers are "water and mineral ions" and "amino acids and sucrose" respectively.

For the xylem, it usually transports water and mineral ions that are absorbed from the root hair cells up to the leaves, where photosynthesis take place. Water is one of the necessary substance for photosynthesis to take place, while different mineral ions can help the plant by for example Magnesium ions can help produce chloroplast.

While phloem transports amino acid and sucrose from the location of production (eg. Leaves by photosynthesis) to the place where it is used or stored. Plant needs these substances to generate energy for activities such as growth by for example cellular respiration. This process is called translocation.

Both of these tubes help transport substances in the plant, in order to keep the plant alive.

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Basal cells, keratinocyte

Explanation:

The viral DNA replication is inhibited until<u> Basal cells</u>  are differentiated into <u>keratinocyte</u>, which are ready to be shed from the epithelial layer, increasing the likelihood that HPV will be transmitted to a new host.

95% of the cells in the epidermis are keratinocytes

Basal cells are multipotent stem cells that are important in the regeneration of homeostasis of the respiratory epithelial cell population.

in skin growth, most of the cells are keratinocytes and they are formed by the division of stem cells in the basal layer

5. What is the correct description of the genotype for individuals that express the trait cystic fibrosis?
vekshin1

Answer:

homozygous recessive

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is a recessive genetic disorder. It means that the trait is caused due to the presence of a recessive allele. The recessive alleles are expressed only in homozygous recessive genotypes. Individuals that express the disorder cystic fibrosis should have two copies of a recessive allele of the gene, that is, the genotype should be homozygous recessive.

If "C" allele is the normal healthy allele and "c" allele is cystic fibrosis allele, the genotype of the affected individual would be "cc".
