In order for plants to produce energy and maintain cellular function, their cells undergo the highly intricate process of photosynthesis. Critical in this process is the stoma. Stomata (multiple stoma) are located on the outermost cellular layer of leaves, stems, and other plant parts. An open stoma facilitates the process of photosynthesis in three ways. First, it allows light to enter the intercellular matter and trigger the process. Second, it allows for the uptake of carbon dioxide, a key chemical in producing plant energy. Third, it allows for oxygen to be expelled into the outside environment, a byproduct of photosynthesis that is no longer needed by the cell.

Stomatal pores in plants regulate the amount of water and solutes within them by opening and closing their guard cells using osmotic pressure.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The question that can be answered with the F2 cross would be if the yellow flower color is dominant over the red flower color in the species. In other words, whether the inheritance of flower color follows a simple Mendelian inheritance or otherwise can be answered.

Assuming that the inheritance of the flower color follows the Mendelian pattern, the red flower trait would re-emerge among the F2 offspring and the ratio of yellow to red flower offspring would approximately be equal to 3:1. Otherwise, a more complex pattern of inheritance would be involved.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

This statement is true

Explanation:

The genetic code is required for the production of proteins with exception of some few mitochondrial proteins. The transfer RNA (tRNA) acts as an adaptor that enables to associate a messenger RNA trinucleotide sequence (known as anticodon) with its corresponding amino acid in the polypeptididic chain. The genetic code is considered to be a biochemical system capable of revealing the information contained in the DNA in order to synthetize a protein, which has been encrypted in the form of three nucleotides (i.e., codons).

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The offspring with large, deeply colored flowers is produced from vegetative reproduction which the offspring with small, lightly colored flowers is produced from sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

Reproduction of a plant is the propagation of that plant and it occurs via the sexual or asexual means. The asexual means also called vegetative reproduction involves only one parents and the resulting offspring grows from a part of this parent. Sexual reproduction involves the union of sex cells from two parents (male and female).

In asexual or vegetative reproduction, the offsprings are genetically identical to the parent they emanate from while in sexual reproduction, the offsprings can be genetically different due to the process of recombination that occurs in gametes during their formation (meiosis). This allows for genetic variation among the offsprings.

Therefore, the offspring that resembles the parent i.e. large and deeply colored was likely produced by the vegetative or asexual means of reproduction while the offspring that exhibited a different characteristics from the parent was produced from sexual reproduction.
