Answer: The stroma

Explanation:

<u>The Calvin cycle consists of a series of biochemical reactions that take place in photosynthetic organisms</u>, such as plants. CO2 binds to an organic molecule, before its reduction by the action of NADPH, in a cyclic process that leads to glucose synthesis.

In plants, carbon dioxide enters the leaves through pores called stomas and diffuses into the <u>chloroplast, the site where the reactions of photosyntesis occur</u>, and where sugar is synthesized.

The reactions of the Calvin cycle are responsible for the fixation of CO2 by incorporating it into the individual's organic matter in the form of glucose through the enzyme RuBisCo. This process is stimulated by the ATP and NADPH that come from the luminous reactions, and depends on them. However, these reactions are also called light-independent reactions, because light does not cause them directly.

Unlike light-dependent reactions, which occur in the tilacoidal membrane, these reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma, which is the inner space of chloroplasts.

The biological species concept is least relevant to which of the following groups of organisms?

Luba_88 [7]

<h2>b) is the correct option </h2>

Explanation:

The biological species concept defines a species as a group of individuals living in one or more populations that can potentially interbreed to produce healthy, fertile offspring

The biological species concept connects the idea of a species to the process of evolution
Because members of a species can interbreed, the species as a whole has a common gene pool, a collection of gene variants
In order to be considered to be a single species in the biological species concept, a group of organisms must produce healthy, fertile offspring when they interbreed
In some other cases, organisms of different species can mate and produce healthy offspring, but the offspring are infertile, can’t reproduce

Hence it includes the groups which are reproductively isolated so asexual fungi will be least relevant to this group

5. Explain how selection might be different if there were brown grasshoppers in

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Selection breeding is use to identify individual with good physical characteristics that can be used as parent in next generation. Brown, yellow, green grasshoppers are the distinct phenotypic characteristics of an individual hence selection will be individual base. Such that brown individual will be selected, green selected seperated and yellow will also selected. The organism that shows the best fits are often been selected depending on the objects of the selection

Answer:

option c punctuated equilibrium

Explanation:

Punctuated equilibrium occurs in a process whereby evolutionary changes occurs in some organisms in a rapid burst of time rather the conceived gradual changes that occurs over a long period of time. this burst of time might be in about 500,000 years. It is assumed that the organism has maintained/lives in stasis for a long period without a need for change, but then, once the change takes place (most of the time, due to an environmental factor), the organism quickly adapts to its new environment with this new adaptation.
