Answer/Explanation:

DNA replication doubles each chromosome, meaning the cell can pass on DNA to daughter cells - the duplicated DNA is divided equally between the two new cells formed from the parent.

The laws of inheritance are:

1) The Law of Dominance: An organism with alternate forms of a gene, called alleles, will always display the form that is dominant, masking the recessive trait.

2) The Law of Segregation: In a diploid genome, like most eukaryotes, each trait is defined by a pair of genes (alleles). Each allele is randomly passed on to the gametes so that each gamete only contains one allele.   The offspring inherits one allele from each parent during the process of fertilization.

2) The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are sorted independently from one another That is, the inheritance of one trait does not depend on the inheritance of another trait. so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another.

How do dominant genes and recessive genes affect taste?
kotegsom [21]

Researchers have identified specific gene variants in the receptors that detect sweetness: TAS1R2 and TAS1R3. There is also high variation in the detection of bitterness. However, the story is more complicated than sweet taste, as we have 25 receptors that detect different bitter molecules

In the area near an old copper mine,no plant grow. Go further away more and more plants are growing. An analysis of the soil nea
maks197457 [2]

Plants do not grow near the old copper mine because of the excess copper deposited in them impairs cellular processes and inhibits plant growth.

What are micronutrients?

These are required by plants in much smaller quantities less than 1% of the dry weight but are necessary for growth and development. There are 7 essential plant nutrients like boron (B), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), and, chlorine (Cl).

Copper activates some enzymes in plants that are involved in lignin synthesis and are required in the process of photosynthesis.

Excess copper causes reduced seed germination, low shoot vigour, and lower iron availability. A deficiency of copper can lead to increased to susceptibility to diseases like ergot, which can cause significant loss in the yield.

Plants growing in the old copper mine have the excess deposition of copper in one place which affects the germination of seeds hence it is found difficult to grow in the old copper mine.

Plants can grow easily in a place that is further away from the old copper mine. Because there is a high concentration of copper dissolved in water in the soil, this helps the plant to grow by exhibiting the photosynthesis process.

mihalych1998 [28]

The correct answer is A. Melting

Explanation:

Melting occurs in solids as these change their state to liquid state, usually due to high temperatures. For example, if one cube of ice is exposed to heat it melts. This physical change implies the solid loss its defined shape and particles in it are not as organized as before.

This process is exemplified by the situation of the oranges because the pyramid of oranges had a defined shape and the oranges were arranged in a defined pattern; however, in the end, this shape changes, and the particles (oranges) are no longer organized in a strict pattern. Also, the distance between particles increases, which also happens when solids become liquids.
