Answer:

(B) open stomata only at night, limiting water loss because of heat and low humidity.

Explanation:

CAM plants are found in the regions characterized by very hot and dry environmental conditions. These plants reduce the water loss through transpiration by exhibiting CAM photosynthesis.  

They open the stomata during night time when the air is cooler and rich in moisture. They take in CO2 during night time and fix it into the oxaloacetate which in turn is converted into malate and is stored in the vacuoles.  

During day time, stomata remain closed to prevent water loss and the CO2 trapped during night time (released by decarboxylation of malate) enter the Calvin cycle.

If a pink snapdragon is self-fertilized, the offspring are red, pink, or white. What type of inheritance pattern does flower col
BaLLatris [955]

The type of inheritance pattern flower color exhibited in this example is incomplete domination (Intermediate).

<h3>What is meant by incomplete dominance?</h3>

Incomplete dominance or partial dominance is gene expression in offspring based on phenotypic observations that mediate from crosses of parents with different and contrasting characters.

Why intermediate traits can appear in an individual?

An intermediate trait occurs when both heirs are equally strong. The two inheritors of nature are neither closed nor covered. On the other hand, the parents will cover each other because they are just as strong. Offspring with intermediate traits will carry the same combination of traits from both parents.

Classifying things by observation can best be done by using a  : Taxon


Taxon divided organisms into different groups based on their unique similarities, which is the best way to classify things if you're doing it by observation.

Use the drop-down menus to answer the questions about genetic recombination. involves the transfer of genetic material from one
Tresset [83]

The right matches are:

• Involves the transfer of genetic material from one bacteria to another ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).

• Involves scraps of genetic material ==> Transformation.

• Uses a virus to transmit genetic material ==> Transduction.

• Uses a pilus to transmit genetic information ==> Conjugation.

• Introduces new genetic material to a bacterium ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).

In molecular biology the term genetic recombination is often used as a synonym for DNA recombination, that is, the processes by which one DNA (or RNA) molecule is cut off, then joined to another.

There are three possible mechanisms in the bacterium: bacterial conjugation, bacterial transformation and transduction.
