Somatic mutation, genetic alteration acquired by a cell that can be passed to the progeny of the mutated cell in the course of cell division. Somatic mutations differ from germ line mutations, which are inherited genetic alterations that occur in the germ cells (i.e., sperm and eggs).

Mutation can be defined as the permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that builds up the gene.Mutation can be inherited when they are acquired by the offspring from their parents.Such mutation are called germ line mutations because they occur in germ cells-sperm and egg.These mutations are present in almost all cells since it is passed on from parents to offspring.

Sheryl is observing ovarian slides taken from a female ape. All the cells show crossover chromosomes. What is this stage?

Kobotan [32]

<span>The stage at which all the cells show crossover chromosomes is meiotic prophase I. The crossover is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. Homologous chromosomes are present in the meiosis I. Regarding the phase of meiosis I, it is expected that the crossover takes place in meiotic prophase I since homologous chromosomes pair up in the prophase.</span>

Plants move water from the roots of the plant to the leaves through transpiration. As water evaporates from the leaf, cohesion p

adoni [48]

Answer:

Stomata are the organs present on the stem and leaves of the plant and help in the gaseous exchange and evaporating water present in the aerial parts of the plant. Mainly leaves stomata plays role in gaseous exchange and transpiration which is the evaporation of the aerial water of plants by opening and closing the stomata. Stomata are small pores mostly and normally present under the leaves and regulated by the guard cells, dum bell shaped cells to close or close it.

Other than closing and opening the stomata, stomata density also can affect the rate of gas exchange as well as transpiration. Stomata density is the presence of the numbers of the stomata per unit area. In heat or sunny area the stomata density is higher than the shady or dark area to increase the transpiration in order to cool down the leaves of the plant which prevent the chloroplast proteins to denature.
