Roots are the important underground part of all vascular plants. The roots of a plant perform a range of services that are essential to the survival of any land plant; they absorb water and nutrients from the soil, help to anchor the plant to the ground and often store large quantities of food. Plant roots secrete or release exudates, volatiles, metabolically active root border cells and additional polymers into the surrounding soil.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!

Stay Brainy!

Answer:

D. Alternative splicing is the mechanism that produce complexity in the genes by splicing some of the protein coding part (exons) of a genes

Explanation:

There are certain splicing enhancers sites present in Exons which facilitiates the binding of RNA binding protein specifically SR protein family rich in Serine and Arginine residues. This SR protein will help in splicing of exons.

The significance of this type of mechanism is the ability of a cell to produce an isoform of protein which have retain their function.

This mechanism also help is diversity or in short in evolution.
