How does an organism such as a plant adapt to living in a dry environment like a desert?

Biology
1 answer:
azamat3 years ago
8 0
The ability to adapt to arid conditions can mean the difference between life or death for animals and plants that live in the desert. Some animals burrow deep underground in the heat of the day, lie in the shade until late afternoon or early evening, or have evolved salt glands, which allow their bodies to secrete salt but not sweat so they retain water. Most deserts have dry, arid climates with little to no rain, so every living organism that lives there must find a way to adapt, survive and thrive, or die.

tresset_1 [31]

Hello. This question is incomplete. Also, you forgot to show the flowchart. The flowchart is attached below and the full question is:

The flowchart below shows the three generations of a cross between a pea plant that has yellow pods and a pea plant that has green pods. Green pods are the dominant trait. The flowchart is missing the labels that describe the traits.

In which squares should the phrase “Green pods” appear?

1.A and D  2.B and E  3.A,C and D  4.A,B,C,D and E

Answer:

3.A,C and D

Explanation:

As shown in the question above, the flowchart shows the crossing of a pea plant with dominant features (green pods - AA) and a pea plant with recessive features (yellow features - aa). The crossing between plants with AA and aa alleles generates a completely Aa population, which in this case, has the dominant characteristic, that is, it has green pods. This is because the "Aa" alleles are called heterozygous and develop the dominant characteristic.

As we can see in the flowchart, the crossing between the two pea plants generated an offspring that is identified by table C, as we know this offspring has green pods and in the flowchart it is represented by a grayish rectangle. Therefore, we can say that the other gray rectangles represent pea plants with green pods, which are rectangles A, C and D.
