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.

b)respond to rhizobia signals and produce infection thread.

c) infection thread grows into the cortex of the root.

d) extend infection thread into cortex.

e) Infection thread releases rhizobia inside cortex cells.

f) allow infection thread to rupture.

g) Nodule forms from rapidly dividing cortex cells.

h) cause cortex cells to divide rapidly upon contact with rhizobia

You perform an experiment in which you take 16 pots of strawberry plants and give half of them 1 gm of ammonium nitrate per lite
svetlana [45]

Answer:

homeostasis.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the process whereby living systems maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in environmental conditions. Plants, like every other living organisms also perform this process to keep their internal environment in a stable state.

According to the question, some plants were exposed to ammonium nitrate, which serves as a nutrient, and 16 hours of sunlight needed for photosynthesis to take place. The plants exposed to ammonium nitrate and 16 hours sunlight grew taller because they had access to nutrients needed to bring about the process of photosynthesis, which provides the plant with energy source (Glucose).

The uptake of nutrients like ammonium nitrate by the plants is done in order to maintain a homeostatic internal environment. Without nutrients, which is the purpose of the ammonium nitrate, plants cannot grow. Hence, the plants exposed to ammonium nitrate, take it in to keep their internal environment functioning.

Which of these is true regarding prokaryotes?
nalin [4]

Answer:c. Separated DNA is attached to the cell membrane before the cell divides.

Explanation:

The prokaryotes are single celled organisms. These are simple organisms which reproduce through asexual mode of reproduction that is cell division. They do not posses well define nucleus. Thus the genetic material remain in the cytoplasm of the cell. On cell division the genetic material (DNA) is distributed into halves for development of two daughter cells. Due to lack of nucleus and it's associated membrane the separated DNA get attach to the membrane before the cell actually divides.
