Answer:
The main types of plastids and their functions are: Chloroplasts are the organelle of photosynthesis. They capture light energy from the sun and use it with water and carbon dioxide to make food (sugar) for the plant.
Examples of surface tension:
-
Walking on water: Small insects such as the water strider can walk on water because their weight is not enough to penetrate the surface.
-
Floating a needle: A carefully placed small needle can be made to float on the surface of water even though it is several times as dense as water.
Frost wedging is a type of physical weathering of rock.
Explanation:
Physical or mechanical weathering affects the rock structurally but does not change the chemical composition. Mechanical forces will rub, break or shatter the rock surfaces. Wedging, abrasion, exfoliation are different types of physical weathering.
Water is one of the main sources which alter the structure of the rocks physically.
Frost wedging occurring due to flow of freezing water over the rocks. This frozen water enters the rock through the cracks and crevices on the rock surface, and will expand inside and makes the rocks to crack further and breaks it apart.
Answer: The correct sequence in the expression of a trait is gene > protein > trait (Option B).
Explanation:
During gene transcription, a linear fragment of DNA referred to as a 'gene' is used as template to synthesize a complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence.
Subsequently, this mRNA is then used as template to create a protein by a process called translation.
Moreover, phenotypic traits can be defined as all observable characteristics that an organism has.
The phenotypic traits are largely determined by the expression of either enzymatic or structural proteins, which interact to shape the phenotype of an organism.
In conclusion, the correct sequence in the expression of a trait is gene > protein > trait (Option B).
Answer:
The Monterey pine and the Bishop's pine inhabit some of the same areas of central California. The Monterey pine releases pollen in February, while the Bishop's pine does so in April. This is an example of <u>temporal</u> isolation.
Explanation:
Temporal isolation is a form of reproductive isolation in which two or more species reproduce at two separate times.
<u>For example:</u> Northern america leapord frog mates in April and North America Bullfrog mates in july.
As in the given scenario, reproductive isolation is occuring in which two species (Monterey pine and Bishop's pine) are reproducing (producing pollens) at two separate times(February and April). Hence it is an example of temporal isolation.
