This is an example of balanced polymorphism. This occurs when the heterozygous individuals persist<span> in a population because homozygous individuals are less able to survive compared to the heterozygous individuals. In the case of </span>sickle-cell anemia, individuals with two copies of the β-globin sickle-cell allele develop sickle-cell disease and generally don't survive into adulthood, whereas individuals with one copy of the β-globin sickle-cell allele and one β-globin wild-type allele have functional red blood cells that are also resistant to malaria. We can expect this example of balanced polymorphism to occur in areas prone to malaria.
The answer is "a" if the second word is "bends" not "burns".

Explanation:
Leaves are adapted for photosynthesis and gaseous exchange.
They are adapted for photosynthesis by having a large surface area, and contain openings, called stomata to allow carbon dioxide into the leaf and oxygen out. Although these design features are good for photosynthesis, they can result in the leaf losing a lot of water. The cells inside the leaf have water on their surface. Some of this water evaporates, and the water vapour can then escape from inside the leaf.
When water evaporates from the leaves, resulting in more water being drawn up from the roots, it is called transpiration.
To reduce water loss the leaf is coated in a waxy cuticle to stop the water vapour escaping through the epidermis. Leaves usually have fewer stomata on their top surface to reduce this water loss.
Leaves enable photosynthesis to occur. Photosynthesis is the process by which leaves absorb light and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (food) for plants to grow. Leaves are adapted to perform their function, eg they have a large surface area to absorb sunlight.
Plants have two different types of 'transport' tissue, xylem and phloem. These specialised tissues move substances in and around the plant.
It is called a joint which is surrounded by cartilage and ligaments.
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
Allolactose is an example of an inducer, a small molecule that triggers expression of a gene or operon. The lac operon is considered an inducible operon because it is usually turned off (repressed), but can be turned on in the presence of the inducer allolactose.
