In some areas of the world, deserts are expanding into places that were once forests. During this process, some of the forest tr
ees will die off because of the change in climate. But, some of the trees may survive this process. What adaptation would give a tree a chance to survive this environmental change?
The adaptation that these plants may present is the emergence of overdeveloped roots, succulent stems and shrinking leaf size.
Explanation:
During a desertification process most plants do not survive and end up dying. This is because these regions suffer from the narrow water shortages that are essential for vegetation development. However, even in the arid environment a vegetation adapted to the lack of water develops. These plants have overdeveloped roots so that they can get the most water out of the soil; Juicy stems, which store water, and small leaves, often turned into thorns, which fall during the driest moments to reduce water loss through perspiration. Low trees and shrubs and a large number of cactaceae predominate.
An individual skin cell develops differently from a muscle cell because the cells express different genes.
All the given cells present in the body, be it skin or muscle cells have the same DNA and the same set of genes. However, these cells are able to develop differently from each other due to the differential expression of their genes.
Differential expression of genes means that the different cells which perform different function although have the same set of genes, express different genes at different times and thus, look and function differently.
Skin and muscles cells also express a different set of genes and thus they develop differently from each other.
1. The bottle left in the sun is exposed to the thermal energy which causes it to heat up. Ice is cold and the bottle is in direct contact with the ice.
2. Its harder for cold winds to get through to you when theres 3 or even 4 layers of clothing on your body than one thick one.
