Many plant cells have more than two complete sets of chromosomes in each cell. Explain how this might occur.

1 answer:

7 0

Polyploidy (more than two complete sets of chromosomes) is not rare among plants. For example, pollen grains may reach female flowers via animals or wind. In some cases, pollen grains from species with 4 complete sets of chromosomes will have 2 sets of chromosomes. Pollen grains may fuse with a female reproductive organ with 1 set of chromosome (so, female plant must have 2 sets of chromosomes). The resulting zygote will have 2 + 1 sets of chromosomes, so the plant will have 3 complete sets of chromosomes.

Explain how tillage has negative effects on the environment.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Soil Erosion

Explanation:

Basically, tillage breaks soil up, destroying its overall structure. It encourages surface runoff and therefore soil erodes more easily. In some cases soil erosion is beneficial, but in most cases, it is not. Tillage has also been found to cause the emissions of more toxic gases such as N20.

This finding indicates the damage of the mid-brain
This is evident due to the Decerebrate posturing, which is characterized by abnormal extension in response to painful stimuli, that indicates damage of the midbrain. On the other hand, damage to the diencephalon or cortex, abnormal flexion, occurs when a painful stimulus is applied. While medulla damage results in flaccidity.

1. Which of the following would be expected to be true of parallel universes? Choose all that apply. *

Svetradugi [14.3K]

The property which would be expected to be true of a parallel universe would be that: They would have the same laws of physics.

Discussion:

A parallel universe by definition is; a separate universe or world that coexists with our known universe but is very different from it. a realm of existence and experience that is fundamentally different from the one that most humans share; a separate reality ultimately.

PS: Plato reflected deeply on the parallel realities, resulting in Platonism, in which the upper reality is perfect while the lower earthly reality is an imperfect shadow of the heavenly.
