<span>The statement is a hypothesis rather than a theory because it depends on the volume of the rainfall on sand dunes increases, therefore, there will be a result or conclusion that the erosion of the sand dunes will also increase.</span>
Answer: Their growth is strongly affected by the environmental conditions found in the root zone.
Explanation: To survive and grow, they need Air (gas exchange), Water, Non-limiting Temperature, Carbohydrates, Minerals, Space, Low Soil Density, Microbial Associations and Non-toxic soil chemistry.
<h2>Mitotic Cell Cycle</h2>
Explanation:
a. Cytochalasin: an inhibitor of actin microfilament
- Cytokinesis is the process by which cytoplasm is divided into two cells hence generation of two daughter cells
- In animal cells the division of cytoplasm starts with the assembly of contractile ring
- Contractile band consists of actin and myosin and catalyze cleavage furrow formation
- Cytochalasin is a drug that blocks the polymerization of actin filament
- When cytochalasin is added dividing cell fails to undergo in cytokinesis due to defective assembly of contractile band
b. Colchicine: an inhibitor of microtubule formation
- Colchicine tightly binds with free tubulin dimer and prevents its polymerization
- In this case mitotic spindle apparatus do not assemble and cells unable to do partitioning of chromosomes into two groups
- Thus cell division is arrested
c. Aphidicolin: an inhibitor of DNA Polymerase activity
- Aphidicolin is used to induce cell cycle arrest via specific inhibition of DNA Polymerase α
- It blocks the cell cycle at early synthesis(S) phase
d. Emetine: an inhibitor of ribosome activity
- It blocks the protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells by binding to small subunit(40 S) of ribosomes
- It interferes with the synthesis and activities of DNA and RNA
