Inbreeding can lead to a decrease in genetic diversity and __________.
algol [13]
The correct answer is 'inbreeding depression'. This is when more recessive<span> traits are manifesting in the phenotype. Recessive traits can only occur in offspring if both parents contain the recessive gene, and this is much more likely under reduced genetic diversity due to inbreeding. </span>Many alleles confer a selective advantage in the heterozygous and/or homozygous-dominant state, whereas the homozygous-recessive state confers less or even no advantage.

Why are most of the stomata on the bottom of the leaf
larisa86 [58]

Answer: Stomata plays very crucial roles in plants. During photosynthesis, gas exchange takes place via the stomata. Water also evaporates from plants through the stomata. In plants, most of the stomata are usually on the bottom of the leaf IN ORDER TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE LOSS OF WATER.

During the day, the sunlight falls on the leaf directly and draws water from the plants. Locating the stomata at the underside of the leave reduces the amount of water that can be lost through excessive evaporation. Also, locating the stomata on the underside of leaves prevent  the leaves from taking in too much water during rainfall.
