Because of cohesion and transpiration, water is able to move against the slow of gravity in plants. The attraction of water to other water molecules allows water to pull other water molecules up through the xylem.

Cohesion: When water molecules stick to one another through cohesion, they fill the column in the xylem and act as a huge single molecule of water (like water in a straw). Capillary action: Capillary action is the movement of a liquid across the surface of a solid caused by adhesion between the two.

The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic code.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

See the eplanation below, please.

Explanation:

In sickle cell anemia, hemoglobin has the form of rigid bars inside the red blood cells, causing them to adopt sickle shapes being not very flexible. These cells can block blood vessels, stopping the flow, causing oxygen to not reach the tissues.

The cause of this anemia is due to a genetic mutation (there is a substitution of thymine for adenine in the beta globin gene, located on chromosome 11), generating Hemoglobin S with a decrease in oxygen binding.
