What are some good and bad results on irradiation being used on seeds

Biology
1 answer:
malfutka [58]2 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

The effects of gamma radiation are investigated by studying plant germination, growth and development, and biochemical characteristics of maize. Maize dry seeds are exposed to a gamma source at doses ranging from 0.1 to 1 kGy. Our results show that the germination potential, expressed through the final germination percentage and the germination index, as well as the physiological parameters of maize seedlings (root and shoot lengths) decreased by increasing the irradiation dose. Moreover, plants derived from seeds exposed at higher doses did not survive more than 10 days. Biochemical differences based on photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids) content revealed an inversely proportional relationship to doses of exposure. Furthermore, the concentration of chlorophyll a was higher than chlorophyll b in both irradiated and non-irradiated seedlings. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy used to evaluate the amount of free radicals induced by gamma ray treatment demonstrates that the relative concentration of radiation-induced free radicals depends linearly on the absorbed

Which of the following correctly shows how energy flows in an ecosystem? *
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The correct answer is - sun - producer - the consumer – decomposer.

Explanation:

Sun is the ultimate source of the energy on the earth and is responsible for all the energy that is present or moves between various organisms in an ecosystem.

Sun provides energy in the form of light energy which is converted by the producers by photosynthesis into food and when consumers eat producers for food and energy 10 percent of energy passes from the producers to the consumers and the rest 90% lost during life processes. At the end of the chain, decomposers get energy from the dead matter of the consumers.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

A parent with one copy of a dominant allele and one recessive coded Ww for the widow's peak  is called heterozygous for a trait and has a 50 percent chance of passing on the dominant allele to each of his or her offspring, regardless of the gene inherited from the other parent.
