Adaptations afford the organism a better chance to survive in its surroundings. Desert Adaptations. Deserts, where the environment is generally hot and extremely dry, provide many striking examples of how plants and animals are adapted to their surroundings. Plants have many adaptations to cope with the lack of water.

They adapt because they are forced to survive. An example would be certain animals gaining the ability to camouflage to protect themselves from predators.

muminat

<em>Lets take a look at all the choices:</em>

A) Energy utilization

All organisms require energy to survive. That question is out for sure!

B) Complex Yet Organized

All living organisms are complex, and if they weren't organized, well, they wouldn't exist or they would have some serious problems!

C) Capable of Self-Reproduction

Simple: Not all organisms are able to reproduce asexually, for example, humans. We do not reproduce asexually. Therefore it is not a characteristic of <u>ALL</u> living organisms

D) Composed of Multiple Cells

No-brainer! All living organisms are composed of multiple cells!!!!!!!!!!!!

Therefore, the answer is C) Capable of Self-Reproduction

) Consider a pea plant- it has a gene controlling seed color- yellow Vs green; another gene controlling seed texture-smooth Vs w

lana [24]

Answer:

Yellow smooth - 9

Yellow wrinkle - 3

Green smooth- 3

Green Wrinkle - 1

Explanation:

Let the green color of the seed be depicted by "G" and the yellow color of the seed be depicted by "g"

Let the smooth the seed be depicted by "R" and wrinkled seed be depicted by "r"

F1 cross -

true breeding smooth green plant ( RRGG) and true breeding wrinkled yellow (rrgg)

F1 gamete will be RG, RG, rg, rg

F1 offspring will be RrGg , Thus all F1 offspring will be heterozygous smooth and yellow.

Thus, R is dominant over r and g is dominant over G

F2 Generation –

RrGg x RrGg

Gametes will be RG, Rg, rG, rg

RG Rg rG rg

RG RRGG RRGg RrGG RrGg

Rg RRGg RRgg RrGg Rrgg

rG RrGG RrGg rrGG rrGg

rg RrGg Rrgg rrGg rrgg

R is dominant over r and g is dominant over G

Genotypes are –

RRGG - 1 (Smooth Green)

RRGg-2 (Smooth yellow)

RrGG-2 (Smooth Green)

RrGg-4 (Smooth yellow)

RRgg- 1 (smooth yellow)

Rrgg – 2 (Smooth yellow)

rrGG – 1 (wrinkled Green)

rrGg – 2 (Wrinkled yellow)

rrgg – 1 (wrinkled yellow)

Yellow smooth - 9

Yellow wrinkle - 3

Green smooth- 3

Green Wrinkle - 1

Why do hyphae spread from one area to another

grandymaker [24]

ungus and mold do not provide their own nutrients so they must feed off of various food sources. They absorb the nutrients and break down the food. As this happen the hyphae is able to add new cells and grow upward as well as branching out like a tree.
