The genetic defect most likely causes each leaf to lack a sufficient root system that can support the plant's growth.

The root system of plants contains networks of roots and their branches which functions by absorbing and transporting water and dissolved minerals from the soil to the plant in order to support the growth of the plant. They anchor (hold) the plant in the soil and also store reserve foods that can be used later by plants. Absence of sufficient root system in plants will affect the plants normal processes (including photosynthesis). The plant’s water absorbing capacity will be greatly reduced and this will make the plant to become dry (weak) and to be susceptible to insect and diseases.

Marina CMI [18]
Many of these options can be inherited based on the context. The only one i can see that is absolutely inherited is saying "please" and "thank you", because those are not built into a person. They are taught to a child so they can show respect when given something. The porcuipine using its quills when scared is the only instictive trait.

The mitochondrion, like the nucleus, has two or more membrane layers. How is the innermost of these layers different from that o
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The double membrane of the mitochondria is highly folded,and therefore wider when unfolded than that of the nucleus.This is an adaptive feature  to increase the surface area for reactions (electrochemical  gradient) by accommodating protons pumped into it by the proton motive force(PMF)  from the matrix to set up the electrochemical gradients needed to generate the energy needed by ATPase synthase enzymes for ATPs synthesis.

Required number of protons needed to be accommodated by the double membrane to generate enough energy for ATPase synthesis,therefore larger surface area is needed.
