Answer: In terrestrial ecosystems the presence of vegetation in floodplains and watersheds can reduce the occurrence and severity of flooding by slowing water flows, enhancing percolation and storage, and allowing gradual release of water, thereby maintaining base flows and reducing peak flows.
Explanation:
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Mendel realized that the F2 had a phenotypic ratio 3:1, meaning 3/4 = 75% were yellow and 1/4 = 25% green.
Mendel observed that the F1 expressed only one of the alternative variants (in this case, only yellow seeds appeared), while the other variant (green) disappeared. Mendel named dominant the expressed variant. Mendel allowed auto pollination and observed that in the second generation, F2, the other disappeared variant reappeared. Both alternative variants were present in the F2. Mendel named recessive the second alternative variant.
Mendel thought that hereditary traits determined by discrete factors were the possible explication for these phenotypes. These factors should have been present in the F1 in pairs. One of them came from one parental plant, and the other factor came from the other plant. These factors then separated again when sex cells were produced, giving two types of gametes, each with only one factor.
Mendel concluded that each individual (plant) has a pair of factors (alleles), one for each trait (yellow and green) and that the pair separates (segregates) during the formation of the gametes. This conclusion is known as the segregation principle (First Mendels´ Low).
Answer:
Xylem cells have no cytoplasm or end walls, meaning they form a tube through which water can pass freely to allow water transport. Lignin strengthens the cell walls, helping to support the plant.
I would agree with your answer of C. As there would need to be calcium to start with and they seem to come from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Answer:
In grassland ecosystem, first trophic level is the producer. Producers are the organisms which makes their own food, here the producer are grasses. The second trohic level contain herbivores which feed on these grasses. These herbivores are eaten by secondary consumers which belongs to third trophic level and secondary consumers are then eaten by tertiary consumer.
The population of producers are very high so it is placed at the base while tertiary consumer are placed on the top due to low population.
