Why do mosses grow well in the Arctic tundra?

Biology
1 answer:
KATRIN_1 [288]3 years ago
7 0

Te correct answer is that they do not have true roots.

The soil in the tundra is frozen to the surface most of the year and only the surface layer thaws in summer. The depth of the thaw will determine how far the roots of the plants will be able to deepen. That is why there are no trees in the tundra, since their roots cannot develop. Therefore, the mosses find their niche in these areas, since they do not have true roots, but rhizoids whose main function is the fixation to the substrate, and do not need more than a few millimeters deep for it. It is important to clarify that the vegetation in the tundra is of low height, squatted, since not only must they withstand low temperatures, but they must withstand strong blizzards. Mosses and lichens predominate in these areas.

Answer:

<h2>A. Chromosome</h2>

Explanation:

In intermediate phase of cell cycle, DNA replication occurs (in S-phase), so in inter phase, DNA become unfolded and in relaxed state and is available for replicating machinery.

When cell enter into prophase, DNA folds, coils and super coils and finally become in condensed form, which can be seen by microscope.

user100 [1]

Answer:

TAAGCCATGACATGATCG

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA, typically to a messenger RNA (mRNA). During transcription, a particular DNA sequence called 'gene' is used as template to create an mRNA which is subsequently used to synthesize a protein by the process of translation. During this process (transcription), Uracil (U) bases pair with Adenine (A) and replace thymine (T) bases in RNA.

How much electrons would an atom of 10 protons and 11 neutrons have?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

10 electrons

Explanation:

Normally you would assume the atom to be neutral, meaning the protons and electrons cancel each other, if nothing states the charge of the atom. So, there must be 10 electrons in order to cancel out the protons.

Hope this helped :]
