Answer:
The law of independent assortment states that the different genes get separated independently of each other and gets assorted into gametes to produce different combination of genes.
It was formulates by famous scientist G. Mendel based on his work on peas.
For example, in a traditional dihybrid cross of true breeding round and yellow seed plant with wrinkled and green seed plant, F2 generation show four different combinations of phenotype:
- round and yellow
- round and green
- wrinkled and yellow
- wrinkled and green
It shows that genes for round and yellow were independently inherited and genes for wrinkled and green were independently inherited. Else, new combinations could not be observed.
Homologous recombination is an event that takes place in prophase I during meiosis. The genetic material is exchanged between the non-sister chromtids of homologous chromosomes. It adds into the genetic variation within a population by producing more combination of genes in the gametes.
It does not violate the law of independent assortment as the genes were independently assorted. It only helps in producing more combinations of genes.
If it's a microscope it should be on the low power setting (10x) and you should only use the course adjustment knob which is the bigger one.
Minerals, unable to move up to the leaves, are accumulating in the root, which causes water to rush in due to osmosis.
Hope this helps!

<u>Answer:</u>
Most plants, most algae and cyanobacteria kinds of organisms (Autotrophs) can perform photosynthesis while heterotrophs are organisms incapable of photosynthesis.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Photosynthesis is a mechanism used among plants as well as other species to transform energy from the sun into chemical energy which may be released later to power the functions of the species.
In autotrophs (organisms who self prepare there food ) with the support of a subsequent series of light-independent reactions like Calvin cycle, creates long-term energy collection in the form of sugars, while some bacteria use different mechanisms like the reverse Krebs cycle to accomplish the same purpose.
Heterotrophs are entities unable to photosynthesize and, by eating certain species, must therefore obtain energy and carbon from the food. In the term heterotroph: hetero means "other" while troph means "feeder", thus their food depends on other species.
