C

The hygroscopic nature of lichen also does not allow them to survive highly polluted environments. This is because they will also absorb the toxins from the atmosphere into their systems. The toxins will then affect their growth, negatively.

Explanation:

Lichen is one pioneer species in primary succession. They have undefined roots hence do not require soil and can grow on rocks and break them down slowly by chemical weathering (using excreted organic acids). More so lichen does not need to absorb nutrient via roots because the organism is a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae. The algae can use photosynthesis to manufacture food while the fungi complex hyphae that surround the  algae can absorb water & nutrients from the air due to their high hygroscopic nature.

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosome in every body cell. Even one extra chromosome causes death or serious disorders. For example,
tamaranim1 [39]

Explanation:

In the majority of cases, the extra copy of chromosome 21 comes from the mother in the egg.

In a small percentage (less than 5%) of cases, the extra copy of chromosome 21 comes from the father through the sperm.

In the remaining cases, the error occurs after fertilization, as the embryo grows.

a man is twice as old as his son.Five years ago the ratio of their ages was 9:4.Find the sum of their ages​
elena-s [515]

Answer:

75years

Explanation:

Let the Father's age be represented by 2x

Let the Son's age be represented by x

Five years ago;

Man's age will be = 2x - 5

Son's age will be = x - 5

If the ratio of their ages five years ago was 9:4, then;

2x - 5/x-5 = 9/4

4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 5)

8x - 20 = 9x - 45

- Collect like terms

-20 + 45 = 9x - 8x

25 = x

Hence, the son's age = 25 years

If x = 25, the father's age (2x) will be 2 × 25 = 50years

The sum of their ages will be = 25years + 50years = 75years
