Answer:

mitosis, cell growth, and differentiation

Explanation:

There are several ways through which plants grow which may include the process of mitosis mainly that involves cell division. The increase in height in plants is attributed to not only cell division but also growth of the newly formed cell.

Mitosis involved division of cell and in cell growth, cells increase their size that ultimately cause growth of plant height. The highly active growth cells are meristem cells that are found at tips of the plants. They are actively dividing zones of plants and with their division and growth plant increases their heights.

Another mechanism, responsible for increase in height is cell differentiation. Differentiation is the process during which cells are specialized to perform specialized function. For example: Xylem are specialized for transport of water. Phloem are specialized for the transport of food. Similarly, some cells are specialized for growth and they are aimed at increasing in size and division that ultimately increase the plant height.

So, mitosis, cell growth, and differentiation are the mechanisms, that increase plant height due to changes in specialized regions of cells in the tips of their branches.

Hope it helps!

In rabbits, short hair(S) is dominant over long hair(s). What genotype and phenotype ratios are expected from a cross between tw
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Genotype                  Phenotype                      

SS                 1/4          Short hair         3/4

Ss                 2/4         Short hair          3/4

ss                  1/4          Long hair          1/4

Explanation:

Both are heterozygous for the trait so we can expect that the cross would be:

Ss x Ss

    S     s

S  SS   Ss

s   Ss   ss

So the resulting off-spring would have the following genotype and phenotype:

1 out of 4 will have a genotype of SS.

2 out of 4 or half will have a genotype of Ss.

1 out of 4 will have a genotype of ss.

But because short hair is dominant the phenotype ratios would differ because Ss and SS would express short hair, so we add up their ration:

Short hair: 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4

Long hair:  1/4

So in summary:

Genotype                  Phenotype                      

SS                 1/4          Short hair         3/4

Ss                 2/4         Short hair        

ss                  1/4          Long hair          1/4
