Answer:

b. Pleiotropy

Explanation:

The term “pleiotropy“ refers to a situation in which variants in a single given gene have a number of different, seemingly unrelated effects in the resulting phenotype.

For instance: patients with mutations in the COL1A1 gene (codifying for collagen alpha-1 chain) may present with a genetic disease called “osteogenesis imperfecta”, characterized by (among other findings) bluish sclera, brittle bones, and deafness. All those disparate clinical manifestations may be traced back to the inability of the body to produce normal type 1 collagen.

Look at the graph. In the beginning we start out with a feed of 75% wheat and 25% corn. The weight of the pig is 40. Look at the rest of the graph. Each time they lessen the amount of wheat the pigs eat and add more corn, they get heavier. By the end, the pigs are fed a blend of 25% wheat and 75% corn and they weigh 61 pounds. The answer would be C.

the guard cells take in minerals by active uptake from the cells next to them. Explain why water then passes into the guard cell
Step2247 [10]
When guard cells lose potassium ions, water diffuses out of the cells by osmosis. As water leaves the cells, they become flaccid and less bowed, which closes the stomata between them.
