Achondroplastic dwarfism is a dominant genetic trait that causes severe malformation of the skeleton. Homozygotes for this condi

tion are spontaneously aborted (hence, the homozygous condition is lethal) but heterozygotes will develop to be dwarfed. Matthew has a family history of the condition, although he does not express the trait. Jane is an achondroplastic dwarf. Matthew and Jane are planning a family of several children and want to know the chances of producing a child with achondroplastic dwarfism. The genotypes of Matthew and Jane are best represented as _____.

Answer:

Jane: Aa

Matthew: aa

Explanation:

Jane is a heterozygous woman, which means that she is dominant for this genetic trait while Matthew is homozygous that did not inherit the achondroplastic dwarfism trait from his parents, that is why he is alive.

If we draw a Punnett square, we can see that some of their children will inherit the trait while others will not.

Answer no 1:

The part labelled A is the upper epidermis . The main function of the epidermis is to protect the structure of the leaf.

The part labelled B is palisade tissues. These are the sites where the chlorophyll are present.

The part labelled C are the air spaces in the spongy mesophyll tissue. They allow carbon dioxide to move freely.

The part labelled D are the vascular tissues which transport water and food.

Answer No 20:

The correct option is B) Most of the carbohydrates are made in the palisade mesophyll.

The palisade mesophyll comprises of chloroplast which are the sites where photosynthesis takes place. Hence, these will be the sites where carbohydrates will be manufactured.

Answer No 21)

The correct option is A) upper epidermis

As upper epidermis is the first layer of leaf, sunlight will enter through it and be trapped by the chlorophyll present in the palisade mesophyll cells.

Compare biomes of North Africa and iceland
Travka [436]

Answer with Explanation:

"Biome" refers to the flora (plant life) and fauna (animal life) of a particular place. It also includes the climate and specific conditions that allow the living organisms in the environment to survive.

The biome of North Africa consists of both desert biome and rainforest biome. It can be classified into a "savannah biome." This means that both the grassland and the woodland co-exist with each other. On the contrary, the biome in Iceland consists of a "tundra biome." The appearance of this biome is uniform and it is considered the coldest among all the other biomes.

Both of the biomes in North Africa and Iceland are different owing to their temperature, precipitation, nutrients from the soil and so on. The savannah biome consists of both wet and dry climates. These seasons allow the growth of both trees and grasslands. When it comes to the tundra biome, its temperature is extremely low. Thus, it doesn't allow many plants or trees to grow. However, it allows the growth of some unique types of wildlife such as the "Arctic fox."
