Plants do not grow near the old copper mine because of the excess copper deposited in them impairs cellular processes and inhibits plant growth.
What are micronutrients?
These are required by plants in much smaller quantities less than 1% of the dry weight but are necessary for growth and development. There are 7 essential plant nutrients like boron (B), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), and, chlorine (Cl).
Copper activates some enzymes in plants that are involved in lignin synthesis and are required in the process of photosynthesis.
Excess copper causes reduced seed germination, low shoot vigour, and lower iron availability. A deficiency of copper can lead to increased to susceptibility to diseases like ergot, which can cause significant loss in the yield.
Plants growing in the old copper mine have the excess deposition of copper in one place which affects the germination of seeds hence it is found difficult to grow in the old copper mine.
Plants can grow easily in a place that is further away from the old copper mine. Because there is a high concentration of copper dissolved in water in the soil, this helps the plant to grow by exhibiting the photosynthesis process.

Answer:
Explanation:
a fungus named penicillin produces a substance that kills the bacteria near it. The mold produces the antibiotic penicillin. How do fungi help plants grow? The hyphae spread underground and absorb water and nutrients from the soil for the plant.
The empress of India during this period; the so called Sepoy Rebellion was Queen Victoria of the British Empire, who was now also consequently the queen of India.
Her reign was a very specific and characteristic rule where she enforced different rules and made different changes to the everyday life of people.
Answer:
The offsprings of this punnet square will be Dd, Dd, dd and dd in a ratio 1Dd : 1dd
See attached image for punnet square completion
Explanation:
This question involves a cross involving a single gene with alleles D and d where allele D is dominant over allele d i.e. D will mask the phenotypic expression of d in a heterozygous state.
This cross is between a heterozygous parent (Dd) and a homozygous recessive parent (dd). Parent Dd will produce gametes D and d while parent dd will produce gametes d and d.
Using these gametes in a punnet square, four possible offsprings with two distinct genotypes will be produced. The genotypes are: Dd and dd in a ratio 1:1
Hence, the possibility of having a heterozygous dominant offspring is 1/2 while the possibility of having a homozygous recessive offspring is also 1/2.
Answer:
The spindle fibre is necessary to separate the sister chromatids into opposite sides of the cell.
Please find detailed explanation below
Explanation:
Mitosis is the cell division that produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. Mitosis occurs in stages viz: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. The replicated chromosome, aligns at the centre of the cell in the METAPHASE stage and separates into opposite poles in the ANAPHASE stage.
This alignment (at the equator) and separation into opposite pole is possible with the aid of a structure called SPINDLE FIBRES. Spindle is a structure formed from microtubules, which attach to the kinetochores (located in the centromere) of each replicated chromosome to separate them from one another. Hence, the purpose of the spindle fibre during mitotic division is to separate the GENETIC MATERIAL of a parent cell into two daughter cells.
