Fungi of the phylum Basidiomycota form mycorrhizal associations with orchids, a type of flowering plant. How do these associatio
alexandr1967 [171]

The answer is; A

This is a symbiotic relationship. The mycorrhiza is harbored I the roots of the orchids. The fungi nitrify the soil around the plant. Therefore, the fungi make nitrates (which are critical for the growth of the plant) available to the plant. The fungi, on the other hand, are assisted in breaking down of large carbon polymers by the orchids because the plant’s enzyme is more powerful than those of the fungi.

How does gene expression lead to differentiation
ExtremeBDS [4]
Every cell of the organism has the same DNA sequence and same genes. However, not all genes are expressed in every single cell at the same time. Only those genes necessary for a specialised function of a specialised cell are expressed in the specialised cell. For example, skin cells have some different proteins than nerve cells. Genes responsible for those "skin proteins" are activated in skin cells and are turned off in nerve cells.

The four inner planets have slower orbits, slower spin, no rings, and they are made of rock and metal. The four outer planets have faster orbits and spins, a composition of gases and liquids, numerous moons, and rings. The outer planets are made of hydrogen and helium, so they are called gas giants.
