So in this scenario, we have to consider two things: the plants are super different from each other. Some plants have huge leaves, others have tiny ones-- some plants have really long roots, others barely have them; it is because of these differences that the some plants survive better than others.
Say that at the start, plants are thriving like crazy-- I mean they're everywhere man.
But afterwards, this huge environmental change occurs.
Plants that have bigger leaves lose more water due to a greater rate of transpiration. Plants with shorter roots can't reach the water deep in the soil.
Plants with smaller leaves, and waxier cuticles could protect their water more. Plants with longer roots could get more water.
Basically, all plants that have good traits for drier environments tend to survive more.
Because they tend to survive more-- they could make more baby plants (i.e. greater rate of reproduction)
Because they could make more baby plants, the overall newer generation of plants will have more of these hardy, dry-environment adapted plant traits (i.e. phenotype).
Answer:
Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. ... These structures include: chloroplasts, the cell wall, and vacuoles.
Explanation:
Answer:
Reciprocal cross may be defined as the cross done by reversing the parent genotype. The reciprocal cross was performed by Mendel's during the pea plant experiment.
Mendel's reciprocal cross is important as it determines the contribution of the male or female in the particular trait. He reversed the male and female trait, cross them, whether the male or female is responsible for the transmission of the trait. He found that the progeny of the reciprocal cross are similar as the normal cross. Thus, he concluded that both the parents contribute equally in the transmission of trait.
Asexual reproduction is when an organism can reproduce without having sex. Their cells can split into two creating a copy of itself. An example of this would be plants that are able to produce seeds without fertilization.
