During a windstorm, a large old tree fell in the forest. As it came down, it trapped a young sapling about 5 meters tall underne

ath it. The top of the sapling bent to the ground under the weight of the other tree but the sapling did not break. What will be the most likely long-term consequence of this for the sapling?
Answer

Auxin and gibberellin in the sapling's stem will cause a gravitropic response in the sapling, and its top will grow upward even though it is held down.

Cytokinin and ethylene will migrate into the top of the sapling, causing a thigmotropic response, and it will

Answer: Cytokinin and ethylene will migrate into the top of the sapling, causing a thigmotropic response, and it will.

Tropism refers to the response a plant shows with respect to the external stimulus like gravity, touch, and sunlight. Thigmotropism is a type of the response of the stimulus shown by the plants with respect to touch stimuli.

In the given situation the sapling bends due to the effect of thigmotropism, the sapling being bend by the heavy weight of the other plant. Hence, cytokinin and ethylene two growth hormones of the plants will provide support to the plant and facilitate it to stand erect, prevent injury under such pressure condition.

How can interactions between alleles genes and the environment affect an organism's traits?
Nataly_w [17]
Genes code for proteins. That way they determine biological structures and functions. Besides genes, the environment has the great impact on the structure of an organism. Alleles and genes will give a trait, but the environment can affect it. For example, alleles that are responsible for height will give a person some average height. But if the person begins to train basketball at the early age (during growth), the person will overcome the average height. This is the effect of the environment and not genes. The other example is that if a person lives in a sunny region, the person will be tan.

What is believed to be the most significant result of the evolution of the amniotic egg?
Ymorist [56]
I think the most critical consequence of the advancement of the amniotic egg it the tetrapods were no longer attached to the water for reproduction.The amniotic egg permits reptiles, flying creatures, and warm-blooded creatures to lay eggs ashore without drying out. The liquid filled depression containing the incipient organism is isolated from the outer condition by an amniotic sac that is impermeable to water.

How many species of insects are there as of 2017?
Slav-nsk [51]
There are about 950,000 species of insects known but estimates range as high as 2-10 million which means that there are probably many species not yet known which have probably gone undetected so far in perhaps more remote parts of the world.
