It is necessary to measure air pressure because it gives an idea about the amount of gases dissolve in water, the density of air at a particular place,the direction of winds etc.

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by the total volume of air in the Earth's surface is called air pressure. It is also called barometric pressure.
The air pressure decreases with decrease in air density and increases with increase in air density.
With increase in air pressure more oxygen is dissolved in water.
The direction of winds on Earth is also determined by the pressure belts. The winds move from region of high pressure to low pressure. Thus, measurement of air pressure helps in weather forecast.

Which plants are likely to be infertile or to have reduced fertility? Check all that apply. Check all that apply. Species with a

Lemur [1.5K]

D. Species with an odd number of chromosome sets (triploid and pentaploid) would be infertile.

E. Aneuploid individuals (monosomic and trisomic) would have reduced fertility.

Explanation - Chromosomes generally happens to occur in the set of two. Organism that have more than two sets of chromosome are called polyploids. Polyploids that have odd or uneven count of sets of chromosome are sterile or fully infertile.

Example - triploid (3n), pentaploid (5n) because their gametes and offsprings are aneuploid. Aneuploidy is addition of entire chromosome to the already existing normal set of chromosome. Aneuploids are unable to produce viable offspring because their fertility got decreased as the zygote formed after the fertilization itself is aneuploid.
