Glucose is the main provider of energy for the brain and the nervous system. Because the brain is so rich in nerve cells, or neurons, it is the most energy demanding organ, using one half of all the sugar energy in the body. Brain functions such as memory, thinking and learning are closely linked to glucose levels and how efficiently the brain uses this fuel source.

Angiosperms and life on land Many aspects of the angiosperm life cycle make flowering plants particularly well-suited to life on
vova2212 [387]
<h2>Angiosperms </h2>

Explanation:

Angiosperms are the most diverse group of plants, some statements which reflect angiosperm adaptations to life on land:

  • Flowers attract animal pollinators carrying pollen from other plants of the same species
  • Fruits aid in the dispersal of seeds by wind or by animals that carry or eat the fruits
  • In many angiosperms, the male gametophyte contained in a pollen grain can be transported many miles away by wind or animal pollinators
  • Floral parts of the sporophyte protect the reduced female gametophyte from drying out and from UV radiation
  • Seeds protect and nourish plant embryos, and fruits protect the seeds
  • Seeds enable plant embryos to be dispersed long distances from the parent plant via wind or animals

"Which mode of inheritance produces heterozygotes with phenotypes that differ from either homozygote but typically more closely
lyudmila [28]

Which mode of inheritance produces heterozygotes with phenotypes that differ from either homozygote but typically more closely resembles one homozygous phenotype than the other?"

A) complete dominance

B) incomplete dominance

C) codominance

D) epistasis

E) incomplete penetrance

Answer:

B) incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance occurs when the dominant allele of a gene is not able to mask the expression of the recessive allele completely. This results in the expression of a phenotype in the heterozygous genotypes that differ from both homozygous genotypes. However, the phenotype of the heterozygote is closer to one of the homozygous genotypes.

For example, the petal color in four o'clock plant is controlled by a gene with two alleles R and r. Here, the "R" allele can not produce enough pigment in heterozygous conditions to completely mask the expression of the "r" allele and the phenotype of the "Rr" plant is "pink". On the other hand, the phenotype of "RR" plant is red while that of the "rr" plant is "white".
