Collenchyma and sclerenchyma fibers both have a similar main function. What is it?

Biology
1 answer:
Allushta [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

To provide mechanical support to the plant parts

Explanation:

Collenchyma fibers consist of living cells with unevenly thickened primary cell walls and mainly serve to provide support to the plant parts of herbs. These fibers provide elastic support and are also present in the form of long strands near the surface of stems and along the leaf veins.  

Sclerenchyma fibers consist of dead cells at maturity and have an extremely thick cell wall. The main function of these fibers is to provide strength and support to the plant body. The presence of thick secondary cell walls in cells of sclerenchymatous fibers makes them strong and hard to provide mechanical support and strength to plant part. These fibers are particularly abundant in stems of woody trees and certain types of leaves.

A gene that affects hair length in dogs has two alleles. The allele for short hair (L) is dominant
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. Only recessive alleles are inherited from homozygous parents.

B. Dominant alleles grow weaker as they are passed from parents to offspring.

C. Only the parent with a dominant allele can pass that allele to offspring in sexual reproduction.

D. A heterozygous parent has an equal chance of passing either the dominant allele or the recessive allele to offspring.

The answer is D

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in dogs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s). This means that allele 'S' will always mask the phenotypic expression of allele 's' in a heterozygous state.

According to the question, two heterozygous dogs (Ss) were crossed to produce 6 shortt-haired offsprings and 2 long-haired offsprings. An heterozygous organism is that which contains two different alleles for a particular gene i.e. a combination of dominant and recessive alleles.

Based on this, during meiosis or gamete formation, an heterozygous dog (Ss) will produce gametes with the short hair allele (S) and long hair allele (s) in equal proportion i.e. 50-50. When the two gametes containing the recessive alleles (s) produced by each heterozygous parent fuses, an offspring with a recessive phenotype (long hair, ss) is produced.

Hence, a long-hair

phenotype can appear in the offspring of two short-haired dogs because a heterozygous parent has equal chance of passing either the dominant or recessive allele to the offspring.
