Commonly, genes from bacteria are inserted into a crop's chromosomes to produce pesticide substances to kill insects

For drought, I'm not fully sure, but Maize is a very drought resistant crop often introduced to communities which receive little rainfall. Maybe they take a gene from the maize crop and insert it into the chromosomes

Which microscope did Anton van Leeuwenhoek use to observe single-celled organisms?
likoan [24]
<span>Anton van Leeuwenhoek learned to grind lenses ( 1668) and develop simple microscopes.

</span>

Leeuwenhoek heated the middle of a small soda glass rod , over a flame. On pulling apart the two ends, the glass rod elongated into thin whiskers . 
Heating the end of this whisker resulted in a tiny high quality glass sphere. These glass spheres then became the lens of his microscope, with the smallest sphere providing the greatest magnification.

Leeuwenhoek's designs were very basic. The body of the microscope was a single lens mounted in a tiny hole on a brass plate. The specimen was then mounted on a sharp point that sticks up in front of the lens. It's position and focus could be adjusted by turning the two screws.

The entire instrument was about 3 to 4 inches long and had to be held up close to the eye, requiring good lighting and great patience to use.

Explain the peppered moth events in terms of natural selection
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Tutt suggested that the peppered moths were an example of natural selection. He recognized that the camouflage of the light moth no longer worked in the dark forest. Dark moths live longer in a dark forest, so they had more time to breed. All living things respond to natural selection.

What are the different structures and functions of roots?
seraphim [82]

Different structures and functions of roots

Explanation:

Roots are the underground descending non-green part of the plant.

Root functions: Anchorages the plant to the soil, absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.

Characteristics: Positively geotropic and hydrotropic, negatively phototropic; does not have nodes, internodes or stems.

Types:  

  • Tap root
  • Adventitious root – fibrous, foliar and true adventitious roots

Structure and functions:  

  • Root cap or Calyptra: Cap-like structure covering the root tip .
  1. Function: protects the meristematic tissues of the root, secretes mucilage which enhances the root tips to grow into the hard soil.
  • Meristematic zone or growing point  sub-terminal behind root cap. These cells are inverted and looks like a dome.
  1. Function – helps in the root growth by adding new cells to the root tip and other basal regions
  • Zone of elongation behind the meristematic zone.
  1. Function – helps in elongation of the root
  • Root hair zone: This is the zone of differentiation where cells differentiate into vascular tissues like phloem, xylem, endodermis, cortex etc.
  1. The main function of root hair is to increase the total surface area of root to facilitate more absorption of water and other nutrients from the soil
  • Zone of maturation: the major and mature portion of a root.
  1. Function  - lateral roots originates from this zone and radial differentiation leads to secondary growth.
