Why might parasitic roots have developed in plants like the mistletoe?

Biology
1 answer:
Ganezh [65]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Mistletoe is a parasite – it steals water and nutrients from trees. Technically, it is a “hemiparasite”, which means that it can generate some of its own resources through photosynthesis – it just needs that energetic kick from the sun to fuel the biological siege and subsequent invasion of the tree

Which of the following is not a function of astrocytes?
VLD [36.1K]

The correct answer is: E) provide the defense for the CNS

Astrocytes are star-shaped cells found in central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) .Some of their functions include:

• Support of neurons by supporting endothelilal cell of blood–brain barrier,

• Provide nutrients to neurons

• Maintain ion balance and thus controlchemical environment around neurons

• Repair of injuries in the brain

• the secretion or absorption of neural transmitters…

The cells that provide the defense for the CNS are called microglia. Those cells are also glial cells, derived from macrophages and thus, part of active immune defense.

As the population increases, the amount of resources are depleted. Inadequate resources makes the population growth to stop.

Suppose a point mutation, such as a change from an adenine to a guanine, occurs in the genome of a human sperm cell. The mutatio
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

B. The mutation results in a new, dominant allele

C. The mutation occurs in a gene that controls development and alters differentiation of a cell type during development.

D. The mutation occurs in a codon and alters the function of the final protein

Explanation:

All the above things will change the <u>ultimate expression</u> or phenotype by altering the proteins. Choices B, C, and D will all change the outer functioning.

Choice A only affects the rate of transcription, so it may go faster or slower, but the end product will be the same.

This part that doesn't look like it's one of the choices ("The mutation occurs in a portion of an intron not responsible for exon splicing.") would not affect phenotype, because introns are removed before the RNA is sent out.

Choice E says that the amino acid sequence is unchanged, meaning the protein final product will be the same and the expression will not change.
