Answer:

Approximately 25 arteries would branch off

Explanation:

Aorta has a diameter of 2 cm, so area is pi x 1^2 = 3.142

In case of the artery, pi x 0.2^2 = 0.126

So dividing total area of aorta by total area of one artery, we get 3.142/0.126 = 25.021

Hence, about 25 arteries will be needed to carry the amount of blood that flows in the aorta vessel.

By studying genetics, scientists have learned that _______ control how organisms develop.
maxonik [38]

Answer:

C. genes

Explanation:

Genes are basic physical & functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA or we can say that they are segments of DNA which have instructions to synthesize bio molecules known as proteins and these protein molecules are further responsible for characteristics of an organism. Genes are located at a specific location in our chromosomes and the location is known as locus. Almost all the characteristics which an organism has depend upon the kind of information they have in their genes.

During developmental stages, how an organism will develop totally depends upon what kind of proteins are being synthesized at that time and as already explained, protein synthesis totally depends upon type of genes present in the organisms.

Why are the epidermis layers of the leaf coated in a waxy cuticle
Andrews [41]

Answer:

prevent excessive loss of water

Explanation:

The epidermis is a single layer of cells covering all plant organs. The epidermal cells are elongated in the direction of stem length and flattened. They have no chloroplast and their outer walls are covered by a waxy cuticle that prevents excessive loss of water through evaporation. The cuticle also protects the inner tissues from infection and mechanical injury.
