Air pollution has become an extremely serious problem. Air pollutants affect both plants and animals. Under polluted conditions, plants develop different physiological, morphological and anatomical changes. Pollutants cause damage to cuticular waxes by which then they enter the leaves through stomata. This further leads to injury to plants which can be either acute or chronic. Changes in stomata due to air pollutants which seem to be small can be of great consequence with respect to survival of the plant during stress. These effects can further lead to disturbing the water balance of leaf or whole plant. Respiration also gets affected because of the exposure of plants to air pollutants. The present paper deals with the effect of air pollutants on stomata as well as on respiration leading to affect gaseous exchange.
Answer:
Rafflesia arnoldii is a tropical plant with a huge blood-red flower, which emits heat and emits the smell of decomposed meat. What use are these adaptations to this plant
Explanation:
The smell is adaptation for pollination.This is because it attracts insects which carry on the process of pollination.
Its possible Endothermy characteristic is for mimicry Its releases heat to attract the pollinators- blowflies.The endothermic mechanism is well pronounced during flora development: which further buttress the fact that this is related to pollination to attract blowflies, and not to thermoregulation.
Genotype frequency: RR is dominant, Rr is heterozygous and rr is recessive.
R^2+2Rr+r^2 = 1
R = 0.85
R^2= 0.85*0.85 = 0.7225
Answer:
c) repeat the cell cycle continuously
Explanation:
Cell division is a normal phenomenon for all cells as this is the way the cell reproduces and gets repaired in living organisms. However, some cells, due to mutation, keeps dividing and proliferating to form tumours. These cells are called CANCER cells. A normal cell undergoes cellular repair at certain checkpoints of the cell cycle. The checkpoints are necessary to determine a faulty cell and stop its division.
However, cancerous cells do not undergo any repair, which is why they do not enter the G0 phase as mentioned in the question. They keep on dividing out of control without death by repeating the cell cycle continuously.
