Answer:
Option D, Five radish plants are grown in sunlight, while another five radish plants are kept in the dark.
Explanation:
In a controlled experiment, impact of one independent variable is studied on the dependent variable.
Here in this study sunlight is the independent variable while the radish plant is dependent variable.
The researcher wants to study the effect of sunlight on radish plants when they are exposed to it and compare it to the effect created on radish plants that are kept in dark.
Hence option D is correct.
Answer:
An association between two organisms in which one benefits and the other derives neither benefit nor harm.
Explanation:
Monoploid organisms reproduce asexually since they need to transmit all of their genetic material to their offspring. Diploid organisms, have 2 copies of their genetic material that differ slightly in their genes. Since the progeny gets half of the DNA from each parent, we have that new combinations can emerge; for example, if the mother is AA for some allele and the father aa, their offspring will be Aa, a new genotype. This might have different implications (for example, the recessive gene for thalassemia also provides resistance to malaria). Finally, during meiosis, there is also an event called crossover that increases the genetic variation of the offspring.
