Answer:
6.) larger diameter of stomatal pores
A) Increased transpiration pull
1.) thicker film of water on surface of mesophyll cells
2.) higher relative humidity in air around leaf
B) decreases transpiration pull
3.) less curvature of water surface on mesophyll cell walls
4.) lower rate of water evaporation from surface of mesophyll cells.
5.) larger air space in leaf interior
C) has no effect on transpirational pull.
Explanation:
- Transpiration primarily occurs through stomatal openings in the leaves. Increasing the diameter or size of these opening would ultimately increase the amount of water escaping from them and therefore, increase the transpiration rate.
- Higher humidity in the air entails the presence of greater number of water vapours in the atmosphere. Since osmotic pressure plays a major role in transpiration, therefore, this decreases the rate of transpiration.
Answer:
The correct answer is option c. "formation of protocells that use DNA to direct the polymerization of amino acids".
Explanation:
The polymerization of amino acids is a complex biological function that involves multiple proteins and cofactors working together at different locations in the cell. Even though there are some scientific advances in the production of synthetic protocells (cell like structures made from synthetic particles), the formation of protocells able to synthesize amino acids from DNA directly has not been accomplished.

Answer:
peripheral nervous system
Explanation:
peripheral nervous system ( PNS ) brings information back and forth between the Central nervous system ( CNS ) and the body.
Answer:
The correct option is D
Explanation:
Beta-thalassemia major is a hereditary disorder that usually causes severe anaemia. This mutation/disorder eventually leads to death if untreated especially during in the first two years of infancy. The treatment usually involves the transfusion of blood to clear the phenotypic blockage caused by the mutation. However, it requires both alleles to have the thalessemia mutation for a patient to be said to have beta-thalassemia major. Hence, <u>it is </u><u>not true</u><u> that it involves just the x allele and thus affects males more often than females</u>.
