Answer:

(B) open stomata only at night, limiting water loss because of heat and low humidity.

Explanation:

CAM plants are found in the regions characterized by very hot and dry environmental conditions. These plants reduce the water loss through transpiration by exhibiting CAM photosynthesis.  

They open the stomata during night time when the air is cooler and rich in moisture. They take in CO2 during night time and fix it into the oxaloacetate which in turn is converted into malate and is stored in the vacuoles.  

During day time, stomata remain closed to prevent water loss and the CO2 trapped during night time (released by decarboxylation of malate) enter the Calvin cycle.

A hypothesis states that all mutations leading to hemophilia occur within the Factor VIII gene. Which of the following pairs of
Pavel [41]

Answer:

C. II and IV only

Explanation:

X linked recessive inheritance follows the criss-cross pattern in which affected mothers always have affected sons as sons get their X chromosome from mothers only. Condition "II" can not be true for X linked inheritance as hemophiliac mothers (XhXh) should have hemophiliac sons (XhY) only.

Daughters get one copy of their X chromosome from the father and the other from mother. To have affected daughters, mother should be carrier or hemophiliac and the father should be hemophiliac (XhY). This would make it possible for both the parent to transmit one copy of X chromosome with the gene to daughters (XhXh).
