The correct option is C

<span>C.Stomata would not open and close.
</span>
This is because guard cells play an important function of controlling stomata. the ensures that stomata are open during the day and closed during the night for the purposes of photosynthesis. The stomata are the pores that are found on the under surface of a plant leave,whose role is gaseous exchange.

Answer: <u>C. Stomata would not open and close.</u>

Explanation: The main function of guard cells is to regulate the opening and closing of the pore formed between the gap of two guard cells, termed as stomata. Option A is incorrect as stomata are the least susceptible area from where pathogens can enter the plant cell. Option B is incorrect because photosynthesis is not directly and much affected by guard cells. Option D is incorrect as chloroplasts are not associated with the guard cells. Stomata are directly linked with movement of guard cells, so correct answer is option C. Through stomata, exchange of gases and water vapor takes place.

In garden peas a pure line that is tall with purple flowers is crossed to another pure line that is short with white flowers. Th
defon

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

Answer 1.

As given that in F1 all are short and white then it can be said according to Mendel's law that short and white are dominant over tall and purple.  

Let S for short s for tall and W for white and w for purple allele.

So the genotype of short purple will be Ssww or SSww. So In first case Ssww self crossed then resultant offsprings will be,

................ Sw .................... sw

Sw ........ SSww ............. Ssww

sw ........ Ssww .............. ssww (tall and purple)

So from this 1/4 will be tall and purple while 3/4 will be short and purple.

In second case SSww only short purple progeny will appear.

Answer 2.

2. a) The female progeny will not show any trait because there are two X chromosome in females , so female offspring can be carrier but not show any trait in case of X- linked trait.

2. b) Half of male offsprings show trait because X is inherited from mother. So the chance of having X-linked recessive allele is 1/2.

2. c) The chance of having X linked affect allele in daughter is 1/2. So the chance of inheriting that X to son will be 1/2 so in total there is chance of 1/4 that son will be affected.

2. d) the chance of first child show this trait will be 1/4 in case of male offspring while 0 in case of female offspring.

Hope this helps!

This is the unequal distribution of ions across a cell membrane.
Nady [450]

Answer:

Concentration gradient

Explanation:

Concentration gradient of the ions across the membrane generates the membrane resting potential.

Concentration gradient means that there is unequal distribution of the ions on different sides of membrane. For example, the concentration of K ions is much higher within the cell then out of the cell. Opposite is with the Na ions. When ions move from the area of their higher concentration to the are with the lower concentration, we say they move down the gradient or diffuse (no energy required). On the other hand, movement of ions against their gradient means that this process requires energy and involves protein pumps.
