Possible answers:

A= DNA Replication

B= Crossing over

C= A mutation

D= Meiosis

Answer:

C

Explanation:

DNA replication should copy the DNA exactly, so should not produce any changes to the DNA sequence.

Crossing over does not occur in prokaryotes, it only occurs in eukaryotes. The same is true for meiosis, it does not occur in prokaryotes as it is a specialized type of cell division that creates gametes in multicellular organisms

Mutations create changes to the DNA sequence. By chance, occasionally these changes can be beneficial and give the new cell an evolutionary advantage. For example resistance to antibiotics, or an ability to digest a new nutrient.

Answer:

  1. guard cells
  2. monocots: evenly distributed, dicots: more dense on lower leaf
  3. Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Stomata are pores in the leaf surface of plants. they regulate the exchange of moisture and gases in plants.  They open at night for the exchange absorption of Carbon dioxide and expulsion of Oxygen, while closing at the middle of the day to prevent evaporation of moisture or water in transpiration. These pores are opened or closed depending on the state of the two surrounding guard cells.

The somata are found on both the upper and the lower leaf surface. in dicots, the stomata are noticeably denser on the lower leaf surface, while they are evenly distributed on both leaf surfaces on monocots.

Allushta [10]

Answer:

1. 20 units

2. 4 units

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, energy is transferred from one organism occupying a trophic level to another as they feed on one another. The amount of energy that is being transferred as the chain progresses is called ECOLOGICAL EFFICIENCY. According to this question, the ecological efficiency at each trophic level of the ecosystem is 20%. This means that about 20% of energy units will be transferred to the next trophic level.

If the green plants of the ecosystem capture 100 units of energy, the amount of energy that will be available to support herbivores (plant eaters) is: 20% × 100units i.e. 20/100 × 100 = 20 units.

Also, the amount of energy that will be available to support carnivores subsequently will be 20% of 20 units i.e. 20/100 × 20 = 4 units.

Which expression correctly represents a reproductive
tekilochka [14]
This is referring to meiosis, which happens just once to make reproductive cells, unlike mitosis which is just simple copying.

In mitosis, one cell splits into two, but the number of chromosomes doesn't change. The original cell makes two copies of its chromosomes and divides them up.

\boxed{(2n\rightarrow\ 2n)}

In <em>meiosis</em>, however, our cell doesn't bother making those two copies. It just takes what it has and divides it between two new cells.

\boxed{(2n\rightarrow\ n)}
