The image shows a magnified view of a leaf's surface with the stomata visible. What’s the significance of these structures in th

e process of photosynthesis?
They’re the sites of maximum photosynthesizing activity because of the concentration of chloroplasts.
They’re the storage sites of glucose, which is produced during the process of photosynthesis.
They absorb water vapor from the atmosphere, providing water to the plant for photosynthesis.
They allow the exchange of gases between cells in the leaf and the external environment.
They allow light energy to enter the leaf, which is vital for the process of photosynthesis.

The correct answer is option (d) They allow the exchange of gases between cells in the leaf and the external environment.

Stomata are the tiny openings present in the epidermis (outer layer of cells) of the leaf. They have a pore which is guarded by the guard cells which controls the opening and closing of the stomata. Air enters and exits through the stomata.

The main funtion of stomata is to facilitate the gaseous exchange. The gas exchange that occurs when the stomata are open helps in the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is taken in from the atmosphere and oxygen is released as a by-product of photosynthesis. The glucose produced is converted into the starch and stored in the leaves.

Also, water vapour diffuses through the stomata into the atmosphere by a process called the transpiration.

Thus, stomata are the structures that are mainly involved in the gaseous exchange between the cells of the leaf and the atmosphere.

Humans have a gene, "T" that is involved in muscle formation of the tongue. Individuals with the one allele can roll their tongu
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Tongue-rolling is dominant, and both parents were heterozygous

Explanation:

Tongue rolling is a type of variation in human beings. When allelic genes are not identical as in Tt, the condition is referred to as heterozygous. An individual with such a genotypic condition is referred to as a heterozygote.

Both parents had a genotype of Tt and they could roll their tongues because T is dominant over the t gene.

              T     t

  T         TT   Tt

   t         Tt     tt

TT : Tt : tt

1 : 2 : 1

In a heterozygous parent Tt, the chance of producing T gamete from both parents is each 1/2 each. Similarly the chance of forming t gamete is 1/2. Therefore, the chance of gamete T and t fusing to get genotype Tt is 1/2*1/2=1/4.

The ratios of phenotypes are 3/4 will be able to roll the tongue and 1/4 will not be able to roll the tongue.

The mode of inheritance was monohybrid inheritance since one characteristic like tongue-rolling is controlled by a single pair of hereditary factors contributed by both parents.

erastova [34]

Answer: just write "onion cell microscope slide experment" as the topic

Explanation: To study the structure of the onion epidermal cell, with particular emphasis on the nucleus and nucleoli.As the cells observed do not have a cell wall, nor a prominent vacuole, the cells of the specimen on the slide are animal cells.
