levacccp [35]

Answer:

O Feathering

Explanation:

Feathering refers to the technique by which large flowers are cut into small pieces, which are then used to create smaller flowers. Feathering consists of removing the petals and wire the petals in order to create a smaller form. Carnations are a type of flower in which feathering is applied. This process was widely used by florists in the past but currently is uncommon due to the excessive time and labor involved in this technique.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

whole numbers

Explanation:

Meristic traits are referred to as traits that are countable, hence the phenotypes are described by whole numbers instead of irrational, prime, complex or imaginary numbers. Meristics traits are usually associated with fishes, it is used to characterize different known species of fish or can also be employed in identifying unknown fish species. Meristic studies are mostly done on dead fishes than on living fishes

An example of a countable trait in fishes is the number of gill rakers. The identification of the number of gill rakers can be used in identifying the specie of fish.

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Evolution.

Explanation:

The ground finch could not survive after the drought with the size of its beak.

The beak required in order to feed on the hard seeds needed to be stronger and longer.

Due to this, the finch beak <em>evolved and developed into a stronger longer beak</em> adapted to feeding on large hard seeds.

Without this evolution, all the finches left on the Galapagos island could face <em>extinction out of starvation.</em>

A scientist requests a research grant to develop a plant that does not undergo photorespiration. He claims that such a plant wou
sergey [27]

Answer:

This project is feasible because plants that don't have photorespiration are photosynthetically more efficient and have higher productivity compared to plants that undergo photorespiration  

Explanation:

C4 plants are photosynthetically more efficient compared to C3 plants because these plants (C4) don't have photorespiration, which is a process that decreases the photosynthetic activity. Photorespiration is the process by which the Rubisco enzyme, which is involved in the first step of carbon fixation, adds oxygen to Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), an organic compound involved in photosynthesis. This process (photorespiration) is known to waste energy generated by photosynthesis, thereby making photosynthesis less efficient. It is for that reason that C4 plants have high productivity. Some examples of C4 economically important crops include maize, sorghum, sugarcane, etc.
