Genes are segments of DNA which form chromosomes. Chromosomes are segments of DNA.
A system made of bundles of long fibers
Answer:
Explanation:
Xylem transports and stores water and water-soluble nutrients in vascular plants.
Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules in plants.
Vascular plants are able to grow higher than other plants due to the rigidity of xylem cells, which support the plant.
Habitat loss is contributing to the permanent loss of species, the weakening of ecosystems, and is impacting the overall health of the planet.
Example:
While tree-clearing is a significant cause of habitat loss in Australia, other major contributing factors include altered bushfire frequency and the introduction of pest species that make habitats unsafe for native species or outcompete them. Meanwhile, on the Great Barrier Reef, the impacts of human-induced climate change are altering the habitats of corals, leading to large-scale coral bleaching. Over time, destruction of such habitats leads to reduced biodiversity and weakening of the Earth’s ecosystem.
