The abiotic factors are the non-living factors that influence the lives, functioning, existence of the living organisms, including the plants as well. There are numerous abiotic factors and all of them are very important and have certain role to play, but we can focus on the water as such a factor.

The water is crucial for the survival of the plants, thus making it one of the most, if not the most important abiotic factor. The lack of water will be a limiting factor for the development and even existence for a plant, depending on how extreme is the lacking of it. A nice example are the deserts where the water is very rare, so we mostly see barren, sandy or rocky landscapes without or very little vegetation.

The water is crucial for the process that a plant needs to perform in order to survive so the plant needs certain amounts of this abiotic factor, if it doesn't have it enough than the plant will die out.

If a cross for widow’s peak was conducted between a homozygous dominant and a heterozygote, it is expected that all organisms of

ehidna [41]

Answer:

be genotypically different

Explanation:

Widow's peak is an example of a dominantly inherited trait, this means that any individual who receives even a single copy of the dominant allele would have a widow's peak present in the phenotype.

In the given question, the cross is made between a homozygous dominant individual (let the genotype be WW) and a heterozygote (Genotype Ww).

The cross can be represented as follows :

WW X Ww ----> WW Ww Ww WW

From the cross it can be seen that the<em> offsprings will have the genotype of either WW or Ww</em>, however, since W is dominant over w, the phenotype will always be the presence of widow's peak.

Which of the following tools of DNA technology is incorrectly paired with its use?

In this case, it has to be B because ligase is used to gluing the ends of the fragments together. It has no role in cutting up the fragments- enzymes are used for that.
