As a leaf cell is a plant cell contains chloroplasts for photosynthesis which the root hair cell does not have, leaf cell also contains larger vacuoles and the presence of a cell wall.
Answer: A. scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life.
Explanation:
Hair is a squamous keratinized epithelium which is consist of multi-layered flat cells. Hair are made up of protein called "keratin".
The statement "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life" is false because at a particular age or due to several factors scalp hairs stop growing.
Scalp hair growth rate depends on three main factors including sex (female hair grows faster than male), age (hair growth slows with age), and ethnicity (Asian hair grows slower than Caucasian hair).
Scalp hair growth stops because of follicle devitalization when the hair length become two or three feet.
Hence, the correct answer is A. "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life".
I) Locus- the chromosomal site where a specific gene is located. A locus is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker. Each chromosome carries ,many genes; human's estimated haploid (n) protein coding genes are about 20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.
ii) Interference; the observed double crossover frequency differs from the expected double crossover frequency. Cross over interference is used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis. It results in widely spaced crossovers along chromosomes. Interference may exert its effect across whole chromosomes. As chromosomes in many eukaryotes are large, interference must be able to act over megabase lengths of DNA.
iii) Linkage- the tendency for genes located in close proximity on the same chromosome to be inherited together. Normally when two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.
iv) Recombination- the process by which a new pattern of alleles on a chromosome is generated. Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations f traits that differ from those found in either parent. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes.
Answer:
The correct answer is option D. "1,200 years".
Explanation:
The giant sequoia (<em>Sequoiadendron giganteum</em>) are the most massive trees in the world, and the tallest is one sequoia called "General Sherman" with a height of 83.8 m. "General Sherman" is estimated to be 2,000 years old, and is estimated that a sequoia tree can live up to 3,500 years. Therefore, an 80-meter sequoia tree in the forest most likely will have more than 1,000 years.
