The answer is hox gene.

Hox genes are responsible for an embryo's body plan. They determine different body structures - legs, vertebrae, antennae, wings, depending on groups. Mutation in hox genes is serious mutation since it affects the early stages of embryo and consequently, normal development. If a mutation occurs in the hox gene for legs growth, the legs will not develop.

Water is able to travel against gravity, from the roots of a plant to the leaves at the top of the plant.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B) Capillary action, when adhesive forces are stronger than cohesive forces.</em>

Explanation:

When water leaves from the leaves of a plant through events such as transcription, a gap is produced in the capillary action of the xylem tube. As a result, more water is drawn from the roots to fill the void. The forces of attraction between the water and the xylem tube are much greater than the intramolecular forces of water. As a result, the water flows in an upward direction due to these string adhesive forces present between the water and xylem tube.
