Answer:
Plants obtain water through their roots. ... The water passes through the membranes of plant cells and also fills the spaces in between the cells. Because the cells absorb the water directly, the soil must be in contact with the roots in order for the roots to absorb the water.
Answer:
The correct answer will be option-B
Explanation:
The data collected on the bacterial species in the Yellowstone national park involved:
1. habitat characteristics
2.DNA of bacteria from each population
3. compared with other species of the park
Based on these features, the biologist could apply all the types of species concept like ecological species concept which allows the study of the species from the same niche.
Also, they compared the DNA of the species of the bacteria and compared them which allows to trace the evolutionary patterns and showing the phylogenetic relationship.
Since bacteria do not reproduce by the sexual reproduction, therefore, a biologist cannot apply the biological species concept which states that species can be called species which can reproduce only with the closely rated species only or the individual of the same species.
Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
He proposed that over a large period of time natural selection could lead to change in order to better adapt a species to their changing environment
Answer:
The pituitary gland refers to a small gland, which is situated in the sella turcica. It is considered the master gland of the body. The pituitary gland comprises two prime parts, the posterior pituitary gland and the anterior pituitary gland. The anterior pituitary gland produces six hormones and discharged them into the bloodstream.
The following are the hormones produced by anterior pituitary gland:
1. The growth hormone that monitors metabolism, growth and body composition.
2. Adrenocorticotropic hormone that instigates the adrenal glands to produce steroid hormones, mainly cortisol.
3. Follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, also called gonadotropins, which functions on the testes or ovaries to instigate the production of sex hormone, and maturity of sperm and egg.
4. The thyroid-stimulating hormone that instigates the thyroid gland to discharge thyroid hormones.
5. Prolactin that instigates the production of milk.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C. "It binds to DNA in a sequence-specific manner".
Explanation:
It is not true that histones bind to DNA in a sequence-specific manner. Histones and DNA have nonspecific bindings (occuring at any DNA sequence) given mostly by electrostatic interactions. DNA is a macromolecule that is highly negatively charged because of its phosphate residues, while histones are proteins that are highly positively charged because of its high content of positively charged amino acids. In consequence, the binding of histones and DNA occurs mostly in a nonspecific fashion given by electrostatic interactions.
