The biosphere (from Greek βίος bíos "life" and σφαῖρα sphaira "sphere") also known as the ecosphere (from Greek οἶκος oîkos"environment" and σφαῖρα), is the worldwide sum of all ecosystems. It can also be termed the zone of life on Earth, a closed system (apart from solar and cosmic radiation and heat from the interior of the Earth), and largely self-regulating.[1] By the most general biophysiological definition, the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships, including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. The biosphere is postulated to have evolved, beginning with a process of biopoiesis (life created naturally from non-living matter, such as simple organic compounds) or biogenesis (life created from living matter), at least some 3.5 billion years ago.[2][3]

In a general sense, biospheres are any closed, self-regulating systems containing ecosystems. This includes artificial biospheres such as Biosphere 2 and BIOS-3, and potentially ones on other planets or moons.

Answer:

The answer is D) Biosphere.

Explanation:

The biosphere is the system formed by all living beings on planet Earth and their interrelations, that is, the biosphere is the layer of planet Earth where life takes place. The biosphere is constituted by water, earth and a thin mass of air that includes from the ocean floor to about 10 km of altitude in the atmosphere.

Explain the process of cross-pollination.
Anna007 [38]

Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen of different species to stigma of different species of plants.

Cross pollination results in healthy, viable and diverse plants.

Mendel observed that traits could either be dominant or recessive.

Blended traits or incomplete dominance is the condition in which dominant allele could not produce its trait alone instead blending with recessive allele takes place giving new phenotype to progeny.

Explanation:

In cross pollination pollen transfer takes place from anthers to stigma. In Mendelian genetics the anthers of the plant was removed because it has both male and female parts on same plant so that self pollination does not take place.

The importance of cross pollination is that it creates diversity in the plant species since the traits having different alleles are combined to form the progeny plant. The offspring are healthier and high quality seeds are found.

Mendel observed that traits are either dominant or recessive in general.  It was observed that when homozygous parents were crossed, the progeny in F1 generation always had dominant trait. The recessive trait only appeared when F1 generation offspring were self pollinate.

Blended traits or incomplete dominance appear when alleles get blended and exhibit the traits in phenotype. The phenotype appeared will not be matching with either parents.

The example is a white coloured flower is crossed with red colour flower the resultant colour of the flower is pink. It shows that dominant allele red is not completely dominant and gets blended with white colour.

Alborosie
<span>There are two major theories that will explain on research on colour vision. They are 1. the trichromatic theory also known as the Young-Helmholtz theory 2. opponent-process theory. These two theories explain processes that operate at different levels of the visual system.</span>
