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.

Suppose two brown haired parents have a red haired child what are the genotypes of each parent? And what % for them to have red

Savatey [412]

1) B- brown; b- red hair

Having brown hair is a dominant trait while red hair is recessive.
If the parents had a red-haired child it means they were carriers of the red hair trait, so their genotype is Bb

2)Getting their genotypes together would result in the possibilities that you see at the image below.
1/4 = 25% BB - brown
2/4 = 50% Bb brown but carrier
1/4 = 25% bb red hair
Answer: 25%

3) The genotype of the child, as i said before would be bb. By having both alleles being recessive the child will show red-hair. If it was any other genotype( BB or Bb), the child would have brown hair, like their parents.

Bones were found in the nest of an eagle, a major predator of tree-dwelling primates. Analysis of these bones reveals they are f

poizon [28]

<h2>Prey- Predator interaction</h2>

Explanation:

We can hypothesize that sociality of these primates provide survival benefits the survival of the eagle.

The presence of bones in eagle's nest prove that the eaglwe had been feeding on the primate species. When analysis revealed that these primates lived alone it was easy to assume that their solitary existence made them easy prey for the eagle. So, we can say that sociality i.e. social interaction of the primate benefited the eagle's survival.

what is viscosity and what effect does heat have on the viscosity of DNA? What is the underlying cause of the change?

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Please find the definition of viscosity, effect of heat on DNA explanation to this question below

Explanation:

Viscosity is a term used to describe FLUIDS, which includes liquids and gases. Viscosity refers to the ability of a gas or liquid to resist flow. In other words, it is the measure of the internal friction that exists between the molecules of a fluid, which resists its flow.

DNA in its natural state exists in a liquid solution, hence, when HEAT is applied, the heat causes ITS MOLECULES to MOVE RELATIVELY FAST and as a result the molecules lose the friction between them and begin to flow. Based on this, heat is said to make DNA LESS VISCOUS i.e. to flow more rapidly.
