Answer:

XYLEM: - transports water and nutrients absorbed by the roots to the rest of the plant

- dead at maturity

PHLOEM: - - transports glucose made during photosynthesis in the leaves to the rest of the plant.

- alive at maturity

Xylem is the plant tissue it's function is to conduct water from the roots and transfer it to all the parts of the plant structure. The xylem is composed of vessels, tracheids, xylem fibers and xylem parenchyma. Xylem vessels are the cells which are joined end to end and remain open at both ends helps in conduction of water. Tracheids are long and narrow they are dead cells. Their ends are not open and they help in upward conduction of water.  Xylem fibers are the cells that are dead at maturity. These cells provide strength to the plants. Xylem parenchyma are living cells, they help in conduction of water and also stores metabolites.

Phloem is the plant tissue that conducts food from the leaves to other parts of the plant. The phloem includes sieve tubes, phloem parenchyma, companion cells and phloem fibers.  Sieve tubes if formed by cylindrical cells that do not possess nucleus. They exhibit sieve plates at their ends which helps in conduction of food. Companion cells are associated sieve tubes they help in conducting the food materials. The phloem parenchyma cells are thin walled and they help in storage of food materials. Phloem fibers are scelerenchymatous and they provide mechanical support to the plant. All phloem cells remain alive in the maturity.

The distant ancestors of tigers may have had bodies without stripes. Use the theory of natural selection to explain how tigers m
Degger [83]

The tigers have stripes because it is advantageous for them because they are an ambush predator and need good camouflage. The stripes are excellent camouflage for places that are shady, so the tiger can easily get close to its prey and attack it.

There's a very big possibility that the distant ancestors of the tigers did not had stripes. The reasons for that are different environment, but also that the stripes are actually a very rare type of pattern among the felidae family members.

As the environment started changing, the tigers needed to adapt to it, so they also needed a different camouflage. As some tigers in the population started to develop stripes, they were better hunters, thus were stronger, and seen as suitable mates for the females, as it would provide an offspring with the advantage that the male tiger has. Through this selection in the breeding process of mates that have advantageous camouflage patterns, the stripes were becoming more and more present, to the point where they totally pushed aside and eliminated the previously dominant camouflage pattern.
