Answer:

by phenotypically identifying plants unable (or with an altered ability) to synthesize auxins. This approach is called reverse genetics

Explanation:

Reverse genetics is a strategy widely used in molecular genetics aimed at analyzing the function of target genes by identifying defective phenotypes of one or more organisms following the disruption of the gene. In this case, a mutagenesis approach (i.e., irradiation with X-rays) was used to induce mutations in the gene/s involved in auxin production. Subsequently, the resulting mutant phenotypes, i.e., plants with an altered ability to synthesize auxin, can be used to reveal the biological function of individual (mutated) gene sequences.

Which of the following organisms exhibits cephalization?
bezimeni [28]
Cephalization describes the process by which organisms develop a distinct head. The head of a cephalized organism contains a concentrated group of nerves, or brain, that controls the rest of the organism, as well as specialized organs for consumption and perception, like mouths, eyes and ears. Cephalized organisms exhibit a distinct division between parts of the body; they have a front, back, top and bottom. These animals comprise the bulk of animals that are encountered on a daily basis.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The first bullet point is correct

Explanation:

The cell membrane controls what comes in and out of the cell, it needs minerals so would not block them completely, and water does not enter cells so it is clearly the first one.

Reproduce and soon take over the island with the ancient power if iguanas, jk jk

though they will reproduce it will depend on the food source and if there is a food source since they are introduced to a new environment they most likely won't have any predators and can eat and move freely as much as they want to.

I hope this helps
