How could two genetically identical oak trees have different heights when tree height is a heritable trait?

Biology
1 answer:
Zarrin [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The heritable characters are the traits that are determined by the heredity material (genetic material) of the organism.

The heritable trait ensures the reproductive success of the species but the trait is also influenced by the environment.

In the given question, the height of the oak trees is determined by the genetic material but the variation on height is the result of the environmental characteristics.  The height of the tree could have varied due to the exposure to the sunlight (more sunlight more height) or the available nutrients.

What happen if interference in blood flow occur??
ivann1987 [24]
Think of a stroke as a "brain attack"— it is an emergency! When symptoms appear call 911 immediately; every minute counts. A stroke occurs when the brain is deprived of blood supply. Without oxygen brain cells die. Depending on the area affected, a person may have problems speaking, walking, seeing, or thinking. It may result in permanent brain damage, disability or death. If the stroke is caused by a blood clot, a clot-busting drug may be given to restore blood supply.To understand stroke, it is helpful to understand the circulatory system of the brain (see Anatomy of the Brain). Blood is carried to the brain by two paired arteries, the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries (Fig. 1). The internal carotid arteries supply the anterior (front) areas and the vertebral arteries supply the posterior (back) areas of the brain. After passing through the skull, the right and left vertebral arteries join together to form a single basilar artery.

The basilar artery and the internal carotid arteries “communicate” with each other in a ring at the base of the brain called the Circle of Willis by the anterior communicating (Acom) and posterior communicating (Pcom) arteries. The middle cerebral artery is the artery most often occluded in stroke.
