DNA methylation is a process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule. Methylation can change the activity of a DNA segment without changing the sequence. When located in a gene promoter, DNA methylation typically acts to repress gene transcription.
This is possible if the mother does not carry that trait, or has a stronger trait for not carrying that melintin trait.
Answer:
The history of net photosynthesis and transpiration per unit leaf area was determined for intact soybean leaves from their unfolding to senescence during flowering and pod filling on untreated (podded) and partially depodded plants growing in a glasshouse. Leaf diffusive resistances to CO2 were calculated and a water use efficiency parameter was derived (net mass of carbon dioxide fixed per unit mass of water transpired per millibar vapour pressure deficit). Net photosynthesis and transpiration behaved similarly through all stages of leaf development. A number of peaks were evident in these parameters. The first was associated with leaf expansion and occurred when the leaf reached its maximum area. The second peak coincided with flowering of the plant and later peaks occurred during pod filling. Stomatal and mesophyll resistances also exhibited similar behaviour during the life of the leaf; the possible causes of this linkage are discussed. Water use efficiency increased rapidly up to the time of full lamina expansion. Thereafter, it rose slowly or remained stable until leaf senescence approached, when the efficiency declined. Net photosynthesis and transpiration of leaves were very similar in both podded and partially depodded plants. It appears that to prevent a shortage of assimilate during flowering and pod filling, photosynthesis may be maintained or increased in some leaves and the response is not related to the number of pods available for filling. The increases in photosynthesis were correlated with both higher stomatal and mesophyll conductances. Mechanisms by which the plant may control leaf photosynthesis are discussed.
Answer:
e. All of the choices are correct.
Explanation:
Bacteria are present almost everywhere on Earth. Many bacteria like cyanobacteria play an important role in fixing the atmospheric carbon in the form of an organic molecule. These organic molecules then used to gain energy.
Many nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Rhizobium, Azotobacter, etc plays an important role in providing nitrogen to plants which is important for their growth. Many bacteria decompose organic matter into simpler form and recycle the nutrients present in them.
So bacteria like <em>Pseudomonas putida</em> decompose waste and clean the environment, therefore, they also help in bioremediation. So the correct answer is e. All of the choices are correct.
