Answer:

The benefits of genetic diversity include:

2- species survive despite negative mutations
4- species adapt to ever-changing environments
5-gene pool is strengthened

Explanation:

Mutations resulting from errors within gene replication frequently accumulate within species, becoming more stable over time. They lead to other forms of the same genes called alleles.

Several alleles within a population's gene pools leads to higher diversity. These may become beneficial, as the environment of the organism changes.

Mutations that confer benefits tend to help organisms survive and produce offspring, passing on these genes. However, some mutations may be deleterious/harmful and fatal. High diversity reduces the deleterious effects of some mutations on a population for a stronger gene pool i.e. the species survives.

How does the gain or loss of thermal energy cause molecules to evaporate?

choli [55]

Answer:

When a liquid is heated, the molecules gain energy. This means they move and vibrate more, causing them to escape in the atmosphere.

If you measure the rate of respiration of plant root hair cells, would you expect it to be the same as, more than, or less than

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The process of respiration in plants involves using the sugars produced during photosynthesis plus oxygen to produce energy for plant growth. In many ways, respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis. In the natural environment, plants produce their own food to survive.As with photosynthesis, plants get oxygen from the air through the stomata. Respiration takes place in the mitochondria of the cell in the presence of oxygen, which is called "aerobic respiration".

In plants, there are two types of respiration: dark respiration and photo respiration. The first kind occurs in the presence or absence of light, while the second occurs exclusively in the presence of light.Plant respiration occurs 24 hours per day, but night respiration is more evident since the photosynthesis process ceases. During the night, it is very important that the temperature is cooler than during the day because plants can experience stress. Imagine a runner in a marathon.

roots respire too!

One of the functions of the substrate is to serve as a site for air exchange between the root zone and atmosphere. In other words, roots breathe oxygen like we do. Different plants have different oxygen requirements for their root systems.

For example,

the root system of a poinsettia requires a lot of oxygen, so it is best to use a substrate with high air porosity, while hostas can live well in a substrate with a high water holding capacity.
