Answer:

D. Sterility Locus

Explanation:

Angiosperms have several mechanisms to prevent self-pollination due to the advantage of cross-pollination. One of such mechanisms is self-incompatibility genes present on the sterility locus.

These genes determine the germination of the pollen on the stigma. If both the pollen and stigma carry the same allele of the gene present at the sterility locus, the germination of pollen is prevented.  

The sterility locus has multiple alleles and the presence of the same alleles at the same locus in both pollen and stigma prevents the pollen germination.

For example, pollen from S1S2 individuals can not germinate on the stigma with the S1S3 genotype. Here, the pollen does not obtain water as required for germination from the stigma and are unable to germinate.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

a. they can fix carbon at the lower CO2 concentrations that develop when the stomata are closed

Explanation:

C4 plants are those that have the capacity to fix CO2 even when a tiny concentration of it is available.

Desert condition is characterized by dryness and strong heat with both condition capable of creating water stress in plant as a result of evapotranspiration. In order to reduce evapotranspiration rate, desert plants (most C4 plants) close their stomata during the day.

<em>Stomata closure limit the diffusion of CO2 into desert plants and the small concentration of CO2 that results is utilized by a special enzyme in the plants.</em>

The correct option is a.

Help me out with this three please
Vesnalui [34]
1. I’m not really sure how to answer it, i think it’s parasitic
2. The tick is the parasite since the human is the host
3. It’s symbiosis bc it’s a long term biological interaction between two different biological organisms (the human and the tick) and in this case it’s parasitic bc one benefits off the host but it’s harmful towards the host so it doesn’t benefit each member.
Hope that helps :)
