Even though the tubers are genetically identical why the plants that grow from them may not be the same height ?

Answer:

I've grown potatoes on top of loose earth that's covered by a thick layer of loose straw. It allows the green leafy parts to easily push through to the sunlight above while keeping developing tubers protected from light. I've grown them this way because I really enjoy the taste of fresh new potatoes and have no desire to store mature potatoes for winter. I want to get the most baby potatoes possible while not damaging the plants with tiny potatoes not big enough to eat yet. It also keeps the potatoes cleaner than if grown under the soil.

When I start lifting the straw back to pick the largest new potatoes, I can see the development of the other potatoes. While the biggest potatoes are 1 1/2 to 2 inches in size, others range in size all the way down to 1/4 inch or less.

When a specific garden plant blooms, most of the flowers open within a very short time period. Now think of tomato plants. The flowers continue to open over a period of months and both ripe tomatoes, large and small green tomatoes as well as flowers can all be found on the same plant. Not all the fruit will be ripe before cold weather kills the plant.

Potatoes are closely related to tomatoes and like tomatoes, not all the tubers will be full size when the plant dies back. So I'd say it's neither genetics nor environmental factors but the inherent life and growth cycle of potatoes that account for the tuber size difference.

Did all of the molecules diffuse out of the bag into the beaker? why or why not?
Cloud [144]
In the above question, if the bag refers to a dialysis bag, the membrane of a dialysis bag is a selectively permeable membrane that does not allow the movement of all molecules to diffuse across the ,membrane. Osmosis is best explained with the help of a dialysis bag. In the process of osmosis the movement of water molecules from their higher concentration to lower concentration take place across the membrane.
Thus, only water molecules will pass across the bag and limit the movement of other molecules.

Which of the following would be a result of eutrophication of a lake? undergrowth of water plants hypoxia, or low levels of oxyg
Travka [436]

Answer:

Undergrowth of water plants hypoxia

Low levels of oxygen.

Explanation:

Eutrophication occur when lake or river has adequate nutrients that will encourage the growth of water plants i.e algae which lead to the depletion of dissolved oxygen in the lake. The growth of algae is increased due to availability of carbondioxide or phosphorus or nutrients required for photosynthesis. This result in tainted drinking water,hypoxia and degradation of recreational activities.
