One oak tree produces two kinds of leaves: wide leaves with shallow lobes and narrow leaves with deep lobes. If this variation i

n leaf shape is based solely on the ecological condition of amount of sunlight exposure and there is no genetic difference between leaves that express either of the two forms, then this is:

Answer:

Phenotypic plasticity

Explanation:

Phenotypic plasticity is the capacity that many plants have to express different phenotypes (for example, various morphological traits, like the different leaves of the oaks in this example) without a change in their genetic makeup when they are subjected to variations in their environment (like the variations in the sunlight exposure of the example). This plasticity has been linked with their success in expanding over a vast territory with very variable climate. Phenotypic plasticity does not limit itself to morphology. It can also be seen in variations in the anatomy, physiology, reproduction and seedling development among other traits.

Why is it critical that equal amounts of DNA are shared between homologous chromosomes?
harina [27]
<span>Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes of equal length, size, and of corresponding genetic material. If, during meiosis, these chromosomes divide improperly, when they are re-combined with the opposite sex's portion, they will combine improperly. The unequal distribution of genetic material in reproduction will eventually create what's call an aneuploid germ cell: this germ cell results in dead zygotes, which leads to a miscarriage or spontaneous abortion in about 25 percent of all conceptions. So we see that it is imperative the genetic material of these chromosomes be exactly where it is supposed to be: so that it can combine perfectly with its compliment.</span>

oksian1 [2.3K]

Explanation:

The planet Mars has two moons. Phobos and Delmos (i) phobos has period `7` hours, `39` minutes and an orbital radius of `9.4 xx 10^(3) km`. Calculate the mass of Mars. (ii) Assume that Earth and mars move in a circular orbit around the sun, with the martian orbit being `1.52` times the orbital radius of the Earth. What is the length of the martian year in days? `(G = 6.67 xx 10^(-11) Nm^(2) kg^(-2))`

Tropical rainforests have high species richness of trees. Which of the following statements provides the MOST reasonable explana
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The MOST reasonable explanation is that<em> animals have diversified into the vast number of niches provided by tree diversity</em>.

Explanation:

The tropical rainforest as a biome is located in areas near the equator, where precipitations are abundant and the average temperature is elevated most of the year. As a result of the climatic conditions, this biome gives shelter to a huge number of living organisms. Also, the canopy structure provides many refuges for plants and animals and is an important source of food. It also favors interactions between species. For example, there are too many plant species that live in trees, such as bromeliads,  and at the same time they provide refuge to other small animals, like frogs.

There are also too many species in the rainforest that have not been discovered yet.
