Different structures and functions of roots
Explanation:
Roots are the underground descending non-green part of the plant.
Root functions: Anchorages the plant to the soil, absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.
Characteristics: Positively geotropic and hydrotropic, negatively phototropic; does not have nodes, internodes or stems.
Types:
- Tap root
- Adventitious root – fibrous, foliar and true adventitious roots
Structure and functions:
- Root cap or Calyptra: Cap-like structure covering the root tip
.
- Function: protects the meristematic tissues of the root, secretes mucilage which enhances the root tips to grow into the hard soil.
- Meristematic zone or growing point sub-terminal behind root cap. These cells are inverted and looks like a dome.
- Function – helps in the root growth by adding new cells to the root tip and other basal regions
- Zone of elongation behind the meristematic zone.
- Function – helps in elongation of the root
- Root hair zone: This is the zone of differentiation where cells differentiate into vascular tissues like phloem, xylem, endodermis, cortex etc.
- The main function of root hair is to increase the total surface area of root to facilitate more absorption of water and other nutrients from the soil
- Zone of maturation: the major and mature portion of a root.
- Function - lateral roots originates from this zone and radial differentiation leads to secondary growth.
Deforestation is a bad thing because it takes away homes from animals. It also ruins the earth. Trees and plants are important to the earth and we need them. They are used for food. Not only for us but for animals. They keep the air clean.

Answer:
environment controlling gene expression
Explanation:
Gestational diabetes generally occurs in pregnant women. The sugar level in the bloodstream becomes little high than the normal range during pregnancy. But the glucose level returns to normal after child birth.
The pancreas secrets insulin which helps to lower the blood sugar level in the body. But during pregnancy, the placenta releases some of the hormones which dilutes the effect of insulin. This is known as insulin resistance. So now the pancreas secretes more of insulin to overcome this insulin resistance for the body. Now if a woman during pregnancy does secrete more insulin, the glucose level increases in the body and the woman develops gestational diabetes.
Gestational diabetes greatly depends upon obesity and the ethnicity of the women, but a definite genetic link has not been identified.
This it is a result of the environment control gene expression.
