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.

Why does DNA replication have such accuracy ?

USPshnik [31]

Because human DNA is so very long (with up to 80 million base pairs in a chromosome) it unzips at multiple places along its length so that the replication process is going on simultaneously and more accurately.

Which of the following is a decomposer?

faltersainse [42]

According to an answer from another and a bit of my own research;

A decomposer is exactly what it sounds like, an organism that decomposes something and feeds off of it. You can eliminate the answers "Owl" and "Hawk" from a first glance as they are both consumers. Looking at it again, an "Ant" is not a decomposer, but rather, a consumer just like your other two options. This leaves "Fungus", something that decomposes it's food.

Please forgive me if I'm wrong. Feel free to ask for more information and I will scour the internet to see what I can find. <3

Semenov [28]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as following:

In humans, the pelvis and the femur, or thighbone, are involved in walking. In whales, the pelvis and femur shown in this figure represent...

Answer:

vestigial structures

Explanation:

A "vestigial structure" or "vestigial organ" are defined as the organs that no longer have any function in the organisms' body but had an important role in past.

Pelvis and femur are thigh bones in humans which helps them in walking but in whale's pelvis and femur are considered as vestigial structures. 

The pelvis and femur in whales, are the inherited structure from ancestors and shows evidence for evolution on the basis of natural selection.

Hence, the correct answer is vestigial structures.
