It would be D. Gene Translocation, because chromosome 21 is not being duplicated or cloned like the answer choice B suggests, and it is not be substituted like choice A. I considered C, but decided D would be your best answer despite your suggestion because inversion means reversing something and I know through my knowledge of Biology that this is not the case. The part of the gene (chromosome 21) is being transferred somewhere else and it attaches there (chromosome 14). Nothing is brought back to chromosome 21, making it a one-way exchange that affects both of the chromosomes.

Name the tissue in which water is transported to the leaves
LuckyWell [14K]

In vascular plant, Xylem is one of the two tissue involve in transport water from roots to stems and leaves and also transports nutrients.

Two types of cells of this tissue are tracheids and vessel elements which are involved in transport.

<h3>What is the function of xylem ?</h3>

Xylem  and phloem are known are two major vascular tissue.

Xylem tissue  involve in transport of water and some nutrients from the roots to the leaves.

Phloem tissue involve transport of  sucrose and other nutrients throughout the plant.

The phenomenon where the xylem sap allow the flow upwards against gravity is called capillary action.

erastova [34]

The brain's interpretation of raw sensory inputs is known as Perception.

Here, when Amanda notices a tree which is brown, has a rough texture, and is solid. Although individually these characteristics do not define a tree, when combined, they do. So, perceptual binding process allows her to identify the object as a tree.

Perceptual binding is the process of merging individual bits of sensory information into logical representations.
