The allele which has light color appears to be altering transcription and that is why the corresponding mRNA is absent in zebrafish which is homozygous. The protein we can say were absent because mRNA which is being required for protein synthesis it was not present.
If the allele had altered translation, mRNA which is functional would have been present but in the same case, the protein will still be absent.
The word sponge is more appropriate to use than Underground river since an underground river can loose water while an aquifer cannot loose water, unless it is open-air and above ground. then the aquifer would slowly loose water due to evaporation from the sun.
Answer: Among the detailed categories of proximate causes for all regions, the extension of overland transport infrastructure, followed by commercial wood extraction, permanent cultivation, and cattle ranching, is the leading proximate cause of deforestation.
Answer:
They have helical thickening of lignin in their walls to prevent collapse
Explanation:
the primary function of Xylem and its conducting vessels tracheids is to provide support and tranport water and minerals in plants.
Xylem vessels have layers of dead materials in the walls called LIGNIN. Lignin is a polymer; a very strong, hard materials that stop water passage through it,because it contains dead cells,
Therefore the presence of deposit of these strong impermeable, ligified walls in its walls prevent its collapse during mass flow of water of transpiration pull.
Glycolysis takes place in "CYTOPLASM"
