B. Water travels through vascular tissue from the roots to the leaves of a plant, moving against the force of gravity.

Adhesion refers to the attraction of water molecules to other molecules other than itself. This is opposed to cohesion (water to water molecules attraction). Adhesion and cohesion are the two properties of water that makes it possible for plants to pull water from the soil.

Roots absorb water from the soil via the root hairs. These water molecules ADHERE to the surfaces of vascular tissue called XYLEM and are transported from the roots to the leaves of a plant, moving against the force of gravity. This process occurs due to the ADHESIVE PROPERTY OF WATER.

Therefore, the ADHESIVE PROPERTY of water allows it to travel through vascular tissue (xylem) from the roots to the leaves of a plant.

The relationship between a gene and a messenger rna is that ________.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

mRNAs are made from genes

Explanation:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed with the process of transcription.

During the process of transcription, double stranded DNA which contain genes are converted into mRNA with the help of enzyme RNA polymerase, so, mRNA are made from genes.

The single stranded mRNA which corresponds to the genetic sequence of a gene allows the ribosome to produce protein (Translation).

Hence, the relation between mRNA ns genes is that mRNA ar emade from genes.

Osteichthyes is a group of fish that have the derived characteristics of jaws and true bones. Which letter corresponds to where

stiks02 [169]

Cladogram shows that Osteichthyes should be under group A. Going back to their characteristics, they’re a group of fish that have the derived characteristics of jaws and true bones. So, moving backwards from group A these derived characteristics are clearly traceable, wherein each line is showing a relationship/connection.
