Explain one adaptation that helps grasses succeed in grasslands

Biology
1 answer:
ehidna [41]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Basal meristems

Explanation:

Meristems are the portion of plants able to generate any kind of new tissues. Therefore, the way plants keep their meristems protected is related to climate adaptation.

Grasslands tend to be arid ecosystems, so grasses have developed basal meristems, meaning they spend the dry season very close or under soil, where water evaporates slowlier than above surface, until wet season allows meristems to generate new stems and leaves.

This disposition is also useful in cases of fire and grazing, which are also frecuent in grasslands.

5. It is difficult to diagnose genetic conditions because they are rarely seen and once problems start presenting themselves not only would a diagnosis need to be made. But to prove it you would have to take blood from both parents to see why they together could produce genetic conditions.
6) Down syndrome occurs when you get a smaller number of chromosomes you are supposed to inherit from each parent during conception.
7) a silent mutation is a change in DNA but does not changes the encoded and has no phenotypic effect therefore the genetic sequence is not changed

In rabbits, short hair(S) is dominant over long hair(s). What genotype and phenotype ratios are expected from a cross between tw
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Genotype                  Phenotype                      

SS                 1/4          Short hair         3/4

Ss                 2/4         Short hair          3/4

ss                  1/4          Long hair          1/4

Explanation:

Both are heterozygous for the trait so we can expect that the cross would be:

Ss x Ss

    S     s

S  SS   Ss

s   Ss   ss

So the resulting off-spring would have the following genotype and phenotype:

1 out of 4 will have a genotype of SS.

2 out of 4 or half will have a genotype of Ss.

1 out of 4 will have a genotype of ss.

But because short hair is dominant the phenotype ratios would differ because Ss and SS would express short hair, so we add up their ration:

Short hair: 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4

Long hair:  1/4

So in summary:

Genotype                  Phenotype                      

SS                 1/4          Short hair         3/4

Ss                 2/4         Short hair        

ss                  1/4          Long hair          1/4

Producers use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food. They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel. These primary producers form the base of an ecosystem and fuel the next trophic levels

Concerns over a global dependence on fossil fuels include environmental, economic, and social consequences.
Natasha2012 [34]

True

Explanation:

Concerns over a global dependence on fossil fuels include environmental, economic and social consequences. The effect of reliance on fossil fuels cuts across on almost all aspect of life.

  • Environmental concerns include pollution, acid rain, global warming e.t.c
  • Economic consequences involves monopoly of the energy market, scarcity, inflation, corruption e.t.c
  • Social consequences include reduced standard of living, poverty, e.t.c

Fossil fuel is a non-renewable source of energy.
