Answer:

Explanation:

Waxy cuticle is a white powdery substance that is insoluble, it is found usually on the surface of stem or leave and it prevent excessive loss of water through transpiration.

It is an adaptive mechanism used in dry areas or desert to help plants retain water that is needed for their growth by reducing amount of water loss through transpiration.

Cactus is an example of plant with cuticle that thrive well in dry areas

1) B
    (I'm not so sure of this one) All of the other options have a steady impact on population regardless of the density of organisms except competition

2) D
    Increased carbon dioxide levels would not hinder plant growth, and tsunamis aren't really linked to carbon dioxide levels. Increased carbon dioxide is unlikely to lower the air temperature so only D is left.

3) A

4) Three properties of water that allow it to sustain life are that it is adhesive, it is a good solvent, and cohesion. Adhesion is important in situations such as water travelling up xylem tubes in plants so that the water is not pulled down by gravity and can reach parts of the plant that need water. Cohesion allows the water being pulled up the xylem to stay together and for water molecules to be pulled when a neighbouring one is moved. Water being a good solvent allows inorganic minerals to be taken with water through vascular tissue, such as in the previous example.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

D) The lac operon will function normally.

Explanation:

  • The promoter area can be described as the area that causes the transcription to initiate for a particular gene. Promoters may be near the genes from which they initiate transcription or they may display multiple scenes upstream.
  • The lock operon works normally because the promoter area can still enable transcription on many base pairs. Detects repression promoter and works normally.
  • so correct option is D) The lac operon will function normally.

JulsSmile [24]

The right answer is false.

All the physical characteristics of an individual, which are at the basis of genetic characters (sometimes even epigenetic), are transmitted to his offspring.

Classical or monogenic Mendelian inheritance is based on the transmission of a single gene in a dominant, recessive mode, linked to the sex chromosome X (or Y), or more rarely mitochondrial (extranuclear) chromosome.
