<span>A mature sporophyte produces spores by meiosis, a process which reduces the number of chromosomes to half, from 2n to n. Because meiosis is a key step in the alternation of generations, it is likely that meiosis has a fundamental adaptive function. The nature of this function is still unresolved (see Meiosis), but the two main ideas are that meiosis is adaptive because it facilitates repair of DNA damages and/or that it generates genetic variation. The haploid spores germinate and grow into a haploid gametophyte. At maturity, the gametophyte produces gametes by mitosis, which does not alter the number of chromosomes. Two gametes (originating from different organisms of the same species or from the same organism) fuse to produce a zygote, which develops into a diploid sporophyte.</span>

How does phloem differ from xylem?
Pani-rosa [81]

Phloem is the food conducting tissue that has a two-way flow.

Explanation:

Plants prepare food on their own and plants also have conductive cells that carry out transportation process. Plants are divided into two types based on their conductive system i.) vascular plants  ii.) non vascular plants.

Vascular plants are those plants which have special conductive cells called phloem and xylem.

Xylem transports water from roots of the plants to other parts of plants and also provides mechanical support to plant. It is uni-directional.

Phloem is the food conducting tissue that transports food to plant and also have bi-directional movement.

You are conducting a CRISPR-Cas9 experiment. You transform a cell with Cas9 and a guide RNA (contains the scaffold and guide seq
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Cas9-sgRNA cannot align with targeted DNA sequence

Explanation:

Without a PAM sequence, the CRISPR-sgRNA (small guide RNA) complex cannot align with the targeted DNA sequence. Therefore, you cannot perform experiments (e.g. gene editing) using CRISPR-Cas9.

While there is only one species of Galapagos Island tortoise, there are several subspecies. Larger islands with more wet highlan
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Tortoises with better adaptations in shell shape and leg length were selected to exploit the food resources on each island and, thus, they were capable of having more offspring.

Explanation:

Natural selection can be defined as the process of differential survival and reproduction in a given environment due to differences in their phenotypic traits. Thus, these phenotypic traits are selected to be better adapted to their environment. As a consequence of natural selection, organisms evolve by changing their phenotype frequencies over many generations. In this case, phenotypic differences are expressed as variations in shell shape and leg length, which are adaptive traits that were selected on each island.
