Use you knowledge of lipids to explain why desert plants need the waxy coating on their leaves to survive?

2 answers:

3 0

Fats and lipids are hydrophobic which makes them water repelling compounds. Therefore, presence of a waxy coating on the outer skin of the desert plant prevents loss of water via evaporation from the skin of the plants. This helps the plant store water and increases its survival period.

Well, if one wolf is Homozygous for the dominant G allele, then it will be GG. One is heterozygous, meaning it’s Gg. So in a punnet square you’ll end up with GG,GG,Gg,and Gg. Since heterozygous also holds that dominant trait, it works as if it were a GG. The answer is 100%
