Biology

Schach [20]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

LHON (Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy): Is a disease that is characterized by loss of vision in young adults.

Sickle cell anemia: Is a disease characterized by production of abnormally shaped red blood cells, that is, not round in shape as normal but are 'sickle' shaped or elongated/crescent shaped.  

Both diseases are heritable But LHON is caused by mutations existing in the mitochondrion thus only inherited maternally.

Sickle cell anemia is caused by mutations in the HBB gene which produces the beta subunit of hemoglobin. It is inherited from recessive genes of both parents.

Desiccation resistant spores, protective and complex reproductive organs, and embryos nourished by parental tissues enable land
Virty [35]

Answer:

to adapt to dryland conditions

Explanation:

The main groups of land plants are vascular plants and they have developed diverse adaptations to survive on land, especially in climatic zones where drought and high temperatures are common. Some of the most important plant adaptations to land ecosystems include, among others, the development of a cuticle to prevent water loss, stomata capable of regulating water evaporation, desiccation-resistant spores coated in sporopollenium polymer, etc. Moreover, in seed plants, which are considered to be the most evolved vascular plants, the endosperm tissue produced inside the seeds is nourished by the parent sporophyte during the first stages of plant development.
