Scientists are trying to engineer non-legume crop plants, such as corn, wheat, and rice, to form symbiotic relationships similar

to the legume-Rhizobiumrelationship.
But this has proven to be a very difficult task. At each step of nodule formation, plant genes must be expressed that enable the plant to respond appropriately to the bacteria. For a non-legume plant to form a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia, it would need to be engineered with the right genes and then express those genes at exactly the right time.

In this activity, you will identify the steps of nodule formation in the legume-Rhizobium relationship. In addition, you will indicate what the products of genes added to a non-legume plant would need to do in order to carry out each step.
The flowchart below illustrates the steps involved in root nodule formation. The first step has been filled in to get you started. Complete the rest of the chart.
First, drag the white labels below the images, indicating what happens at each step.
Then, drag the blue labels to the blue targets, indicating the plant gene functions that must be active at each step.

How does undestanding the water cycle help us examine the cause of sea level rise?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Water cycle is also known as the hydrological cycle. It involves the water in water bodies such as ocean, river, lakes etc being heated up by the sun and then evaporations into the atmosphere. The evaporated water then condenses and falls back as rain into the water bodies.

The water body is always low during summer due to the water being heated and evaporated into the atmosphere and high during spring/winter due to rainfall and less evaporation.
