During the 1950s, a scientist named Lysenko tried to solve the food shortages in the Soviet Union by breeding wheat that could g

row in Siberia. He theorized that if individual wheat plants were exposed to cold, they would develop additional cold tolerance and pass it to their offspring. Based on the ideas of artificial and natural selection, do you think this project worked as planned?
A. Yes; the wheat probably evolved better cold tolerance over time through inheritance of acquired characteristics.
B. No, because Lysenko took his wheat seeds straight to Siberia instead of exposing them incrementally to cold.
C. No, because there was no process of selection based on inherited traits. Lysenko assumed thatexposure could induce a plant to develop additional cold tolerance and that this tolerance would be passed to the plant's offspring.
D. Yes, because this is generally the method used by plant breeders to develop new crops.

What are the 3 stages of photosynthesis?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
STEP ONE: Harvesting Radiant Energy
The first step of photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Light photons are absorbed by a pigment called chlorophyll, which is abundant in the thylakoid membrane of each chloroplast. Chlorophyll appears green to the eye because it does not absorb green waves on the light spectrum. It reflects them instead, so that’s the color you see.
STAGE 2: Converting Radiant Energy
After radiant energy from sunlight is absorbed, the plant converts light energy into a usable form of chemical energy to fuel the plant’s cells
STAGE 3: Storing Radiant Energy
The last stage of the photosynthesis process is known as the Calvin-Benson cycle, in which the plant uses atmospheric carbon dioxide and water from soil to convert ATP and NADPH. The chemical reactions that make up the Calvin-Benson cycle occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.
