The common ancestor.

A phylogenetic tree shows how a species originates (by evolution) other species. It’s very similar a genealogic tree. If you want your family tree, you should write down your name and the names of all your brothers and sisters and then draw a line from all those names to the names of your parents, and then draw a line from the name of your father to the names of your gramma and grampa, and then do the same with the names of your aunts and uncles. If you repeat the process with many, many generations, you will have the common ancestor to all of those relatives. You can do the same with species: for example, humans are supposed to have a common ancestor with monkeys, so their lines will end together in the same point in the graph. Then you have to draw a line from that point to another point that will be shared with other mammalians, then Mammalians share a point with other vertebrates, and so on… If you keep on going, you will get to LUCA someday.

Water is able to travel against gravity, from the roots of a plant to the leaves at the top of the plant.

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B) Capillary action, when adhesive forces are stronger than cohesive forces.</em>

Explanation:

When water leaves from the leaves of a plant through events such as transcription, a gap is produced in the capillary action of the xylem tube. As a result, more water is drawn from the roots to fill the void. The forces of attraction between the water and the xylem tube are much greater than the intramolecular forces of water. As a result, the water flows in an upward direction due to these string adhesive forces present between the water and xylem tube.

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) need to be aware that if any of his garlic plants became diseased, it could very likely infect the entire crop</em>

Explanation:

If cloves from a bulb are taken and grown, then the plants formed will be identical to each other. As a result, there will be no genetic varieties in the garlic plants being produced. Hence, when a diseases eradicates, it will affect the entire plants of the garden as they would be genetically identically, Variations would have allowed some of the plants to be resistant for the disease and hence some of the plant species could be saved by genetic variations.
