Select all statements which describe the role of calcium in the soil/plant environment.

Biology

Inessa [10]3 years ago

Answer: the statements are not given, so I will state the role of calcium in plants.

Calcium pectate, is responsible for holding together the cell walls of plants, it is also used in activating certain enzymes and to send signals that coordinate certain cellular activities in plants. Calcium helps to maintain chemical balance in the soil, it reduces soil salinity, and improves water penetration within soil.

When there is calcium deficiency, it leads to localized tissue necrosis causing stunted plant growth, dead leaf margins or curling on the leaves, and eventual death of terminal buds and root tips of the soil/plant.

Excess levels calcium in the soil can reduce a plant's uptake of other important nutrients such as phosphorus, magnesium, boron, potassium, copper, zinc or iron, leading to deficiencies of these nutrients.

elixir [45]

Answer:

Pleiotropy

Explanation:

Marfan syndrome is an example of pleiotropy, which can be defined as the phenomenon in which a pair of allele genes conditions the appearance of several traits in the same organism.

All of these traits occur through the action of only one pair of genes, so pleiotropy shows that the idea that each gene affects only one trait is not always valid.

In other words, a pleiotropic gene can have an effect on several phenotypes at the same time, due to the fact that the mutated gene is used by a group of cells (or targets) that have the same signaling function.
