<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Desertification

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Desertification refers to the gradual ecosystem degradation, where plants and animals, and geological resources such as water and soil, are stressed beyond their ability to adjust to changing conditions.
  • Desertification is caused by by various factors such as overgrazing, urbinization, overdrafting of ground water, deforestation, tillage practices and natural disasters among other factors.
  • <em>Desertification affects the ground water reserves, topsoil, human, surface runoff, animal and plant populations.</em>

The answer is; desertification

Topsoil is usually the riches soil in terms of nutrient is important in support of plant vegetation. It is rich because it contains humus and other decomposed materials that recycle nutrients. When the topsoil is washed away, the local region becomes barren in that it cannot support vegetation. This causes the area to turn into a desert.

For each of the following statements, indicate
stepan [7]

The plants that were allowed to self pollinate were the F1 plants.

The plants that are true breeding are P generation plants.

The plants where there were 3times as many tall plants as short plants are in F2 generation.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

This question is based on the Mendel’s Experiment. Sir Gregor Johann Mendel was the father of genetics who experimented on garden pea plants <em>Pisum</em> <em>sativum</em> to see whether the characters got mixed or not and to know the real cause behind different traits of same character in plants.

He took the pure homozygous tall and short plants separately which he called as parental generation or P generation. These plants were homozygous, hence pure breeding.

As these plants were crossed between themselves, then the F1 generation showed all tall plants. This is because of the heterozygous plants which showed character of dominant trait. These plants were allowed to self pollinate.

As a result of self pollination of the F1 plants, the F2 plants were 75% tall in number whereas the other 25% short, which gave the phenotypic ratio of 3:1.
