nvironment, then which of the following represents the most likely means by which fungi might assist in seed germination, given what the seeds lack?
A) by transferring some chloroplasts to the embryo in each seed
B) by providing the seeds with water and minerals
C) by providing the embryos with some of the organic nutrients the fungi have absorbed
D) by strengthening the seed coat that surrounds each seed

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

Roots of Orchid trees form a symbiotic association with the Fungi which help the orchid tree seed germination.

As soon as the seed is produced and buried in the soil, the chemical produced by the seed attracts the fungal species which in result help the seed to germinate.

The fungi help the orchid seed by producing the digestive enzymes which can digest the larger compounds and breaks it into smaller elements easily absorbed by the fungi. The absorbed nutrients are supplied by the fungi to the seed embryo nourishing it and thus processing the seed to germinate.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Aside absorbing water and nutrients, what other functions do the roots serve?
AfilCa [17]
<span>Aside from absorbing water and nutrients in the ground, roots are also the very support of a tree. It supports bigger trees to stand and stay steady against heavy rains and strong winds. Roots are also capable of absorbing water that may cause flood in the area, and support slopes that may result to landslides. Roots are very important because it lessen the chances of soil erosion in a certain place. Roots can also be used for plant vegetations.</span>

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

2.Less than 73% of the populations would have only one allele present.

Explanation:

The two alleles chosen do not affect the fitness of flies in the lab environment, so Kerr and Wright could be confident that if changes in the frequency of normal and forked phenotypes occurred, they would not be due to natural selection.

Using a larger breeding population would not be expected to alter the outcome of the experiment.

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Following are the correctly rank steps:  

1. The binding of glucose takes place with the transporter on one side of the membrane.  

2. The binding of glucose leads to a conformational change, which opens the site of binding on the contrary side of the membrane.  

3. The dissociation of glucose takes place.  

4. The transporter moves back to the beginning conformation.
