Using your knowledge on lipids, explain why desert plants need the waxy coating on their leaves to survive.

Biology

Fats and lipids are hydrophobic which makes them water repelling compounds. Therefore, presence of a waxy coating on the outer skin of the desert plant prevents loss of water via evaporation from the skin of the plants. This helps the plant store water and increases its survival period.

Well, desert plants doesn't have many source of water since the region where they live is very dry with little rainfall ratio
One of the way for the plant to survive is by minimizing the amount of water that evaporated from its body, and they usually done it by coating their leave with waxy substance

hope this helps

1. If the frequency of two alleles in a gene pool is 90% A and 10% a, what is the frequency of individuals in the population wit
Illusion [34]

Answer: 0.18

Explanation:

For the alleles, the percentage distribution of each is 'A' (90% = 0.9)

While 'a' (10% = 0.1)

Hence, 0.9 and 0.1 are the respective frequencies of each allele

Now, apply Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium equation, where heterozygotes are represented by the 2pq term.

Therefore, the number of heterozygous individuals (Aa) is equal to 2pq which equals

2 × 0.9 × 0.1 = 0.18

Thus, the frequency of heterozygote is 0.18, while the percentage distribution in the population is 18%
