Even though the tubers are genetically identical why the plants that grow from them may not be the same height ?

Answer:

I've grown potatoes on top of loose earth that's covered by a thick layer of loose straw. It allows the green leafy parts to easily push through to the sunlight above while keeping developing tubers protected from light. I've grown them this way because I really enjoy the taste of fresh new potatoes and have no desire to store mature potatoes for winter. I want to get the most baby potatoes possible while not damaging the plants with tiny potatoes not big enough to eat yet. It also keeps the potatoes cleaner than if grown under the soil.

When I start lifting the straw back to pick the largest new potatoes, I can see the development of the other potatoes. While the biggest potatoes are 1 1/2 to 2 inches in size, others range in size all the way down to 1/4 inch or less.

When a specific garden plant blooms, most of the flowers open within a very short time period. Now think of tomato plants. The flowers continue to open over a period of months and both ripe tomatoes, large and small green tomatoes as well as flowers can all be found on the same plant. Not all the fruit will be ripe before cold weather kills the plant.

Potatoes are closely related to tomatoes and like tomatoes, not all the tubers will be full size when the plant dies back. So I'd say it's neither genetics nor environmental factors but the inherent life and growth cycle of potatoes that account for the tuber size difference.

Diffusion, Osmosis and Enzymes
Nana76 [90]

The given statements can be matched as following:

a)The diffusion of water from a high concentration to a low concentration  - Osmosis

b)Lowers the amount of energy needed to perform chemical reactions - Enzymes

c)When you breath O2 passes into your blood stream while CO2 passes out of your blood stream -Simple Diffusion

d)Involved with, but does not become a part of chemical reactions -Enzymes

e)Small molecules with no charge can move through semi-permeable membranes by this process- Simple Diffusion

Explanation:

a) Osmosis is generally defined as the process by which water is transported from a region of Higher concentration to the region of Lower concentration.

b) Enzymes are well known to reduce the amount of energy required or needed for a chemical reaction to take place.

c)The process by which oxygen passes through our blood stream and carbondioxide passes through the other is known as simple diffusion process.

d) Enzymes are ones that actively gets involved in the chemical reaction but they will never become a part of that chemical reaction.

e) Diffusion is the process by which very small molecules that carries no charge moves through semi permeable membrane.

Jonathan used the following soil triangle to identify a sample of soil as sandy clay.
sineoko [7]

The description of soil according to Jonathan is as follows:

  • Mostly large grains, with a gritty texture, 45% sand, 5% clay, and 45% silt ---- Silty loam soil.
  • Mostly large grains, with a sticky texture, 55% sand, 40% clay, and 5% silt ----- Sandy clay soil.
  • Mostly small grains, with a sticky texture, 30% sand, 50% clay, and 20% silt ----- Clay soil.
  • Mostly small grains, with a smooth texture, 30% sand, 5% clay, and 65% silt ----- Silty loam soil.

<h3>What is Soil Texture?</h3>

Soil texture may be defined as a classification of soil on the basis of its physical appearance, texture, and properties.

In this question, the texture and composition of other soil are illustrated briefly with respect to each common soil type.

Therefore, it is well described above.

Over 95% of incoming UV-B radiation is absorbed in the stratosphere. Please select the best answer from the choices provided
kramer

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The stratosphere is the layer of the earth’s atmosphere which is above the troposphere and below the mesosphere.

The stratosphere contains about 90 percent of the ozone layer. The stratosphere is made up of ozone layers which helps in the absorption of about 95 percent of the ultraviolet rays from the sun and converting to heat.

This is the reason why depletion of the ozone layer found in the stratosphere gives rise to global warming.
