How do the properties of water contribute to transpiration

Biology
1 answer:

Answer:

Cohesion and adhesion of water molecules

Explanation:

Cohesion has to do with the ability of water to adhere together .

The cohesive properties of water which is occasioned by hydrogen bonding between adjacent water molecules allow the column of water to move up through the plant irrespective of the force of gravity as water molecules are evaporating at the leaf surface.

The adhesive properties of water, which means, the attraction between the water molecule and the xylem wall also ensure continuity in the movement of the water column in the xylem.

Hence the cohesive and adhesive properties of water molecules are important for transpiration to occur.

Which statementbest describes the influence that parents have on whether or not offspring inherit a genetically inherited trait?
umka21 [38]

Each parent contributes one allele describes the influence that parents have on whether or not offspring inherit a genetically inherited trait.

Explanation:

Allele is a form of gene present on the chromosome. Human have 2 alleles for a trait on a chromosome. Each parent contributes one of its allele to the progeny.The alleles for the gene are present on the same locus of chromosomes.

The alleles are either dominant or recessive. The contribution of alleles and the expression of trait decide the alleles of offspring.

The phenotype is determined by the allele expressed as short or tall and human ABO blood type.

An allele is sequence of DNA. The organism having two same alleles are homozygous and having two different alleles are heterozygous.
