Answer:

It allows rapid conduction of water from one vessel element to the next.

Explanation:

Vessels are one of the two types of conducting cells of xylem. Vessels are made of vessel elements. Vessel elements are the individual cells with perforation plates. The perforation plates have large holes (perforations). Perforation plates of adjacent vessel elements allow easier conduction of water from one vessel element to the next.

The perforated end walls of vessel elements allow these conducting cells to conduct water more readily than tracheids. Stacking of vessel elements with perforated end walls make the vessel like a water pipe through which water is being readily conducted.

When is an atom unlikely to react and form chemical bonds?

sweet [91]

The spindle fibers produced by the centrioles are necessary for the division of the chromosome at the time of the anaphase. In case, the centrioles do not perform their task, the genetic material in the cells may not divide equally due to the lack in the separation of the chromosomes. Hence, the problem with the centrioles may lead to the unequal division of the genetic material during the cell division process.

Hence, the correct answer is centrioles.

List in the order they occur in during the development of red blood cells.

Serhud [2]

Stem cells arise from the inner mass of the cell

Signalling factors trigger differentiation in stem cells

Genes that lead to the production of undifferentiated blood cells are activated

Signalling factors cause undifferentiated blood cells to produce red blood cells

Explanation:

Red blood cells are formed in the bone marrow. The precursor to the RBC is stem cell which is undifferentiated and pluripotent. The stem cell gets differentiated to form immature RBCs. Immature RBC then gets divided and becomes mature. Stem cell giving rise to RBC is called Haemoctytoblast. The process of erythropoiesis takes 2 days to form new red blood cells
