You are the agricultural science consultant to a large corporate farm that grows 7,000 acres of wheat on land adjoining the medi

terranean sea. just before the wheat matures, all the wells used for irrigation water run dry. the farm manager wants to irrigate the fields with water drawn from the mediterranean sea. from previous tests, you know that the solute potential of root tissues taken from wheat is -11.13 bars. you test the seawater and determine its solute potential to be -24.26 bars. what will you advise the farm manager and why

<span>I will advise the farm manager not to use the sea water for irrigation as the sea water is of lower water potential than the roots of the wheat. If sea water is used to irrigate the fields, all wheat plants will die from dehydration as water will move out from the roots to the surrounding because a potential gradient is present between the root tissues and the soil.</span>

What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploidy are caused? What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploid
sleet_krkn [62]

The correct answer is:

The principal cause of aneuploidy is chromosome nondisjunction during mitosis or meiosis. Polyploidy in nature can result either from the duplication of euploid chromosome sets from a single species or from the combining of chromosome sets from different species.  

Aneuploidy is a phenomenon when there is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell (an extra or missing chromosome). Usually it appears as a result of improper cell division (chromosomes don’t separate) and it can cause many genetic disorders.

Polyploidy refers to a state when there are more than two sets of chromosomes (one from mother one from father). Triploid (three sets of chromosomes) and tetraploid (four sets of chromosomes) chromosomes are examples of polyploidy. This phenomenon is most common in plants.

<em>the function of epidermis is to protect the leaf
make it air tight 
prevent water loss as it is waxy
also it is transparent and allows all light to enter...
   chloroplast is required for carrying out process of photosynthesis...
    as epidermis is not specialized to carry out photosynthesis... so it does not have any chloroplast...</em>
