Plant types matched with their descriptions
- Hydrophytes - Aquatic plants
- Mesophytes - Plants with habitats that are neither too wet nor too dry
- Xerophytes - Plants with very dry habitats
Hydrophytes are aquatic plants that may be free floating, fully submerged or partly submerged (amphibious) in water. The vascular tissue of hydrophytes is very poorly developed. Examples of hydrophytes are Ottelia, Sagittaria and Utricularia.
Mesophytes are plants that live in habitats that have a moderate supply of water (neither too wet nor too dry. Mesophytes are usually large, fast growing, and have well developed roots and leaves. Examples of mesophytes are clover and maize (corn).
Xerophytes are plants that are able to thrive with very dry habitats where the available soil water is low. Examples of xerophytes are Acacia and Carthamus.
Answer:B.) Substitution
Explanation: Mutations are permanent changes in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA molecule. Substitution leads to a point mutation if only one nucleotide is replaced by another.
A substitution mutation occurs when one or more nucleotides in a DNA sequence is replaced by another nucleotide.
Example of substitution is in sickle cell hemoglobin in which valine replaces glutamate at position six in the two beta chains of hemoglobin. In a normal hemoglobin, the two beta chains of hemoglobin have glutamate at the sixth position but in a sickle cell hemoglobin, valine is found at position six on the two beta chains. This is also an example of a point mutation.
<span>Classification systems vary with the taxonomist. The correct answer is C. Depending on the approaches that a taxonomist may take, he may also develop different classification systems, that are quite unlike those that other taxonomists have created. It all depends on how they approach the subject.</span>
