9. According to Larry Crawford, what is the most difficult part as Growing

Operations Manager?

A. Knowing how many plants to have at any given time

B. Knowing how much water is just the right amount

C. Getting through the heat of the summer months

D. Being prepared for harsh weather conditions

The correct option is D: Being prepared for harsh weather conditions

Explanation:

Plants are sensitive to the changes in the environment and any drastic changes in their surroundings can potentially cause the plant to go into stress, or possibly even die. Too high or low a temperature and the plant will not be able to cope. Similarly, drastic changes in water levels will really affect its health and growth.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
