Answer:
False
Explanation:
Plants, based on whether they can conduct water and nutrients, are classified into vascular and non-vascular plants. Vascular plants also called TRACHEOPHYTES are plants that possess certain special tissues called vascular tissues used for conducting water and nutrients in a plant. These conducting tissues are xylem and phloem.
On the other hand, non-vascular plants do not possess vascular or conducting tissues, hence, they cannot transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. Hence, such plants are naturally found in moist areas e.g. mosses. Therefore, based on the question asked, the answer is FALSE.
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
In biology, fitness refers to the ability of an organism to survive, reproduce, mate and support evolution through gene transfer. A fitness of 0.28 signifies that only 28 percent of a given population are fit physically and able to reproduce while the remaining 72 % are unable to mate and hence cannot reproduce and contribute towards gene flow and evolution.
Hence, option B is correct
Answer: b. classify all organisms into monophyletic groups.
Explanation:
The modern taxonomy is the study of classification of organisms which classified the organisms on the basis of ancestral relationships, reproduction, morphology and behavior to identify the living organisms on earth and group them together. This is the scientific basis for classifying the species.
The classification of organisms into monophyletic groups is one of the criteria for classification in modern taxonomy. In monophyletic group or clade is a group which includes the descendants that belongs to the common ancestor. The organisms of the group share derived characteristics like morphological similarities, mode of reproduction and similarities at the genomic level.
Answer choices:
- A frame shift mutation in the X chromosome of a cheek cell
- A chromosomal mutation in the Y chromosome of a kidney cell
- A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
- A substitution mutation in the third chromosome of a uterus cell
Answers:
A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
Explanation:
Only mutations that affect the germ line are passed on to the next generation. Therefore, only mutations in the egg and sperm of an individual have the potential to affect the next generation.
Mutations in cheek cells, kidney cells, and uterus cells might cause cell death or cancer. This genetic material is not passed on to the next generation, only the egg and sperm contribute this material. Therefore, only mutations here will affect the generation.
