Answer:

D. The banyan can grow in areas prone to hurricanes and typhoons because

the roots make the tree more stable in high winds.

Explanation:

According to this question, banyan tree posseses a unique characteristic in which roots grow down from its branches into the ground making the tree appear to have several trunks. This type of root is called STILT OR PROP roots.

The major function of this stilt roots is to provide additional support for the plant during adverse conditions. Hence, a major advantage that this root characteristic give the banyan tree over other trees is that it confers resilience upon the banyan tree, making it able to grow in areas prone to hurricanes and typhoons because the roots make the tree more stable in high winds.

How do fungi beneﬁt from being able to reproduce both asexually and sexually?

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Asexual reproduction is an advantage because they don't need to depend on contacting a suitable mate, or expand energy producing gametes and attractions, in order to spread .

sexual reproduction is an advantage because it enables the exchange of genetic information and produces variety in the offspring that makes them more resilient and capable of adapting to changes in their environment .

mart [117]

Prior to the first true chicken, there were non-chickens. The DNA changes came about in cells housed in the egg. So the egg came first. In July 2010, British scientists, using a supercomputer, claimed to have come up with the final and definitive answer.

Drosophila eye color is an X-linked trait. Red eye color is dominant, and white eye color is recessive. Which Punnett square sho

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Second Punnett on the first attachment.

Explanation:

In a 4 x 4 Punnett there are a total of 4 squares. Twenty five percent (25%) of 4 is 1. This means that only 1 square out of the 4 should have the genotype that you are looking for.

Okay going at it in a biological sense. Because red eyes is dominant, we know that the allele should be represented by a capital R. It is X-linked, so it should be on the X. The problem is looking for the probability of a male offspring so the combination should be XY (this means the offspring is male, XX is for females).

So taking that all together, you're looking for the genotype combination:

$X^{R}Y$

So you need to find the Punnett that has only 1 square with this combination. The attachment shows which specific Punnett:

Which statement correctly compares the transfer of genetic material during mitosis and meiosis?

guajiro [1.7K]

<span>d. During mitosis daughter cells receive an exact copy of the parent cells and during meiosis it only receives half of the genetic material.

</span><span>Mitosis and meiosis are simply cell division processes that occurs differently, they're characteristically divergent from each other according to their function and structure. Mitosis is the cell division that happens in all cells in the human body except sperm and egg cells. They produce diploid cells. Meiosis on the other hand is responsible for the cell division of the gametes, spermatogenesis (sperm cells) and oogenesis (egg cells), such haploid cells. </span>
