Answer:

Explanation:

Late Blight is caused by the fungus Phytophthora infestans. The late blight fungus is especially adapted for growth under conditions where water is present and cool temperatures persist. Temperatures ranging from approximately 50 to mid 90s oF will enable disease progression in the field (Franc et al., 1996).

Answer:

DNA can be described as the molecules which carries the genetic code for every individual. The DNA is made up of nucleotide bases which join the two strands of DNA. The sugar and phosphate form the backbone of the DNA.

Genes are the hereditary molecules which are made up of DNA. The alleles of a gene represent which traits will be carried by an organism.

Chromosomes are made up of genes. During reproduction, crossing over of DNA occurs and alleles of the genes assort independently due to which variations occur.
