A genetic mutation results in the inability for a cycad to produce coralloid roots. What types of soils would be least conducive

to the survival of this cycad relative to members of the species not affected by this mutation?

TEA [102]3 years ago

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. Soils saturated with water

B. Drier soils

C. Soils with lower mean temperatures

D. Soils with lower nitrogen

E. Soils with lower pH

Answer:

D. Soils with lower nitrogen

Explanation:

A cycad is a group of plants which belong to the gymnosperms or the plants which bear naked seeds.

The cycads show a characteristic feature that they form a symbiotic relationship with the nitrogen-fixing bacteria like the cyanobacteria and the <em>Anabaena cicadae</em>. These nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in the roots of the plants and convert the atmospheric nitrogen to the ammonia which can be used by the plants and the roots are called the coralloid roots.

If a mutation occurs in the gene of cycad which produces coralloid roots then the mutation will affect the survival of the plant as plants will not have enough nitrogen to be utilized and the soil with lower nitrogen content will also affect the survival of these mutated cycads.

Thus, Option-D is correct.

The convection that causes Earth's magnetic field happens in Earth's _____.
adelina 88 [10]
The answer is the outer core. 

The outer core of the Earth is made up of liquid metal. The liquid in the outer core pass through the magnetic field and this causes the flow of electric current with in it. The magnetic field gets stronger as the liquid metal passes through it. What makes the liquid metal move is the inner core. It heats up the outer core which triggers convection.

terry physics pushes a 75kg lab cart so that is accelerates from rest with a velocity of 4.4m/s in 3.1 secounds. what is the for
svetlana [45]

106.5N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of cart = 75kg

Velocity = 4.4m/s

time taken = 3.1s

Unknown:

Force = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to apply newton's second law of motion. The law states that "the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force on the body and inversely proportional to the mass".

      F = m  x   a

F = force on body

m = mass of body

a = acceleration of the body

 But we know that acceleration is the change in velocity with time of a body;

     a  = \frac{change in velocity }{time}

  F = m x \frac{V}{t}

V is the velocity

t is the time taken

   F = \frac{75  x  4.4}{3.1}   = 106.5N
