Answer:
A. Water enters a plant by passing through the root cell membranes.
Explanation:
Osmosis is a kind of passive transport i.e. no energy input is required by the cell, that involves the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration/high solvent concentration to a region of high solute concentration/low solvent concentration. The movement is usually facilitated by a difference in concentration gradient between the cell's membrane and the extracellular solution.
In this question, water from the soil enters into the root's cell via its cell membrane, which acts as the semi-permeable membrane. This movement must have occured because the solute concentration in the root's cell is higher than that of the soil, forming an osmotic gradient.
Answer:
The inheritance of ABO blood groups corresponds to an autosomal codominant pattern.
Explanation:
The blood type is defined by the presence of surface antigens in the red blood cell, called A and B. The presence of each antigen is determined by a gene present on the parental chromosomes.
- Blood type A corresponds to the presence of gene A, and its genotypic expression can be A/A or A/O.
- Type B blood, whose genotype is B/B or B/O, is due to the presence of a gene containing the B antigen.
- AB blood -due to codominance- has one gene for A and another for B, with genotype A/B.
- Blood type O, characterised by the absence of surface antigens, behaves like a recessive trait, which only manifests itself in the absence of surface antigens A and B. The genotype is O/O.
The presence of an antigen A or B, suppresses the expression of blood type O, recessive, which will be possible only in its homozygous form.

Diseases that were common in swampy and marshy area, including Dengue and Malaria were especially common. The environment of the area tends to attract a lot of mosquitoes which are known to be vectors of such dangerous diseases.
