A genetic mutation results in the inability for a cycad to produce coralloid roots. What types of soils would be least conducive to the survival of this cycad relative to members of the species not affected by this mutation?

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. Soils saturated with water

B. Drier soils

C. Soils with lower mean temperatures

D. Soils with lower nitrogen

E. Soils with lower pH

D. Soils with lower nitrogen

Explanation:

A cycad is a group of plants which belong to the gymnosperms or the plants which bear naked seeds.

The cycads show a characteristic feature that they form a symbiotic relationship with the nitrogen-fixing bacteria like the cyanobacteria and the Anabaena cicadae. These nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in the roots of the plants and convert the atmospheric nitrogen to the ammonia which can be used by the plants and the roots are called the coralloid roots.

If a mutation occurs in the gene of cycad which produces coralloid roots then the mutation will affect the survival of the plant as plants will not have enough nitrogen to be utilized and the soil with lower nitrogen content will also affect the survival of these mutated cycads.

Thus, Option-D is correct.

im gonna compare the cells to jobs in factory. give brainliest

job in the factory //       cell organelle   //  

shipping/receiving

department                 plasma membrane    

chief executive officer// nucleus

factory floor // cytoplasm

assembly line// endoplasmic reticulum

workers in the assembly line //ribosomes

finishing/packaging department //golgi apparatus

maintenance crew //lysosomes

support beams (walls, ceilings, floors) //cytoskeleton

power plant //mitochondria/chloroplasts

here's what each part of the cell does:

plasma membrane :

regulates what enters and leaves the cell; where cell makes contact with the external environment

nucleus :

controls all cell activity; determines what proteins will be made

cytoplasm :

contains the organelles; site of most cell activity

endoplasmic reticulum:

where ribosomes do their work

ribosomes :

build the proteins

golgi apparatus :

prepares proteins for use or export

lysosomes :

responsible for breaking down and absorbing materials taken in by the cell

cytoskeleton :

maintains cell shape

mitochondria/chloroplasts :

transforms one form of energy into another

ya the other dude is right
