During the 1950s, a scientist named Lysenko tried to solve the food shortages in the Soviet Union by breeding wheat that could g

row in Siberia. He theorized that if individual wheat plants were exposed to cold, they would develop additional cold tolerance and pass it to their offspring. Based on the ideas of artificial and natural selection, do you think this project worked as planned?
A. Yes; the wheat probably evolved better cold tolerance over time through inheritance of acquired characteristics.
B. No, because Lysenko took his wheat seeds straight to Siberia instead of exposing them incrementally to cold.
C. No, because there was no process of selection based on inherited traits. Lysenko assumed thatexposure could induce a plant to develop additional cold tolerance and that this tolerance would be passed to the plant's offspring.
D. Yes, because this is generally the method used by plant breeders to develop new crops.

Which of the following is the best way to develop a dichotomous key? A Move from observing the most specific traits that can div
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Move from observing the most specific traits that can divide the organisms to the most obvious traits, offering 2 choices each time

Explanation:

dichotomous key reffers to a tool that give room to the user in determining the identity of items in the natural world. Items can be mammals, fish,wildflowers, mammals and reptiles. The particular key is made up of series of choices that help user to get the name of a particular item correctly. At the end dichotomous keys always bring about two choices in a step.

In dichotomous key the user has to select a choice out which of the two statements that describes the unknown organism best, with the reference of the choice made based of moves to the next set of statements, so at the end the identity of the unknown is clarified.

Therefore, in dichotomous key it move from observing the most specific traits that can divide the organisms to the most obvious traits, offering 2 choices each time

A tree is planted in a meadow. after 20 years it has grown into a big tree, weighing 250kg more than it was planted.
lesya [120]
There are many factors that may contribute to the tree's weight gain, for example soil, air, sunlight, water and minerals in the soil. an example is as plants need to photosynthesis to make food and they also produce. glucose and oxygen in the process and the mass probably increased due to the storage of the products made.

An entrepreneur estimates his total profit (total revenue minus total cost) for his proposed company as p(x) = x3 − 4x2 + 5x − 2
defon

break even means that the total income is equal to the total cost.

Therefore, we can equal the total gain to zero.

We have then:


p (x) = x ^ 3 - 4x^2 + 5x - 20

Equaling zero we have:

x ^ 3 - 4x^2 + 5x - 20 = 0

Rewriting the polynomial we have:


(x-4) (x ^ 2 + 5) = 0

We observe that the polynomial only has a real solution.

Therefore we have:

x-4 = 0x = 4

Answer:

the year (x) the entrepreneur will break even is:

D. year 4

Which macromolecule is involved in how hemophilia is passed from parents to their children
Serga [27]

Answer:

chromosomes

Explanation:

chromosomes which consist of genes which consist of DNA can pass on traits from parent to child.

it basically works by depending on the gender of the child it can inherit certain traits from its parents

so say the hemophilia is an XX being from the mom and to get the mutation you would need the X that has the mutation and either an X or Y from the dad.

I dont know if hemophilia affects X or Y but that is how the mutation would be passed on.

The role of pigments in the photosynthesis reaction is to
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Option A, Start the reaction by absorbing light energy

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is a green color pigment in plant that helps in entrapping sunlight. Being green in color, it absorbs the blue and red light and reflects the green light. The molecules of chlorophyll gains energy from sunlight and then jumps to higher energy levels by the process known as photo excitation. These excited molecules get ionized to further initiate the process of photosynthesis.

Hence, option A is correct.
