Height can be affected by many factors, such as age, lifestyle, medical, etc. so two tall parents can have a short child
Genetic engineering is the
direct treatment of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. It is a set of
technologies used to alter the genetic makeup of cells, together with the
transport of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved
organisms. An example would be to
protect plant from insect damage, it can be made into a transgenic plant.
Transgenic plant are called genetically modified organisms (GMO) because there
is a gene added or removed in the original plant to obtain a set of
characteristic such as insect damage.
Endocrine gland - a group of cells that secretes substances into the blood or directly into an organ.
Differ from exocrine glands, endocrine glands have no ducts and secrete products (hormones) directly into blood.
Hormone - a substance produced by cells that helps specific groups of cells to perform specific functions. It is a product of endocrine gland which functions as chemical messengers to stimulate other cells.
Duct – a channel or tube that conveys a substance. It is part of the exocrine glands (such as salivary glands) which makes contact with surface .
Answer:
Explanation:
The fibrous root is one of the small hair-like roots of the fibrous root system. Fibrous roots are derived from the base of the plant. This root system is available mainly in Monocotyledons, Gymnospermae (conifers) and Pteridophyta (ferns). Most of the fibrous roots grow horizontally and very few roots grow vertically to anchor the plant. Most importantly, the fibrous roots are short. They grow near the surface of the soil, not deep into the soil.
The correct answer is glycemic load.
In particular, glycemic load estimates the amount of carbohydrates in a serving of food and how each gram of these carbohydrates can affect the blood glucose. It is a measure commonly used in weight-loss programmes and in dietary programs used to treat insulin resistance. It has been shown that common spikes of blood glucose and insulin levels, increase the risk for diabetes.
