The phenomena of polygenic inheritance would have become a grievous fault to his investigation, if he had investigated human height instead of stem length of pea plants.

Explanation:

The polygenic or polygenetic inheritance is the inheritance where the trait of a particular allele is passed on to the next generation with many genes involved in order to show the genotype and phenotype of the allele present on the same chromosome.

The stem length or plant height depends on the single factor of allelic gene inheritance and expression in phenotype, making it simpler to trace down the division of meiosis and control the experiment as needed. Considering human height for a chance, may lead to uncontrolled condition of having next generation study as well as the time required to be long. Other factor was that the height is dependent not only on the height gene expression but is controlled by nutrition and environmental factors too.

Answer:

Look like palm trees

Explanation:

Cycads are an ancient group of seed plants with a crown of large compound leaves and a stout trunk. They are a minor component of the flora in tropical and subtropical regions today, but during the Jurassic Period, they were a common sight in many parts of the world.

While on the other hand,

The Pinophyta, also known as Coniferophyta or Coniferae, or commonly as conifers, are a division of vascular land plants containing a single extant class, Pinopsida. They are gymnosperms, cone-bearing seed plants. All extant conifers are perennial woody plants with secondary growth.

Why can’t we send cactuses out too mars? It’s has a form of water at night time and the plant doesn’t need that much water and s
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

It is very possible for a plant to grow on mars, but you would need better soil, because mars' soil is filled with perchlorate salt which is toxic to plants. You would also need to conceal the plant, because the temperatures on mars are usually freezing. But yes, you could have a cactus on mars, it would just be very difficult to sustain.

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:spores

Explanation:

Fungi are eukaryotes .they do not possess chloroplast.as a result they

are heterotrophs that feed on dead and decaying matter.mushrooms are a type of fungi. They consists of individual filaments collectively called hyphae, which form the mycellium. They form visible fruiting bodies above the ground. This body is umbrella shaped and is called the pileus.

Underneath the pileus are gills ,from where the spores drop.

Mushrooms produces spores as a means of reproduction. When the spores are released ,they are carried by agents of dispersal such as water,air etc.when fall on favourable substrates, they germinate to form a single hyphae which then branches to form mycellium.
