Answer : 1. "quality, quantity and duration of light"
Explanation :

Answer: A) quality, quantity and duration of light Explanation: Plants and animals are separated by about 1.5 billion years of evolutionary history. They have evolved their multicellular organization independently but using the same initial toolkit — the set of genes inherited from their common unicellular eucaryotic ancestor. Two basic peculiarities of plants are: First, they get their energy from sunlight, not by ingesting other organisms. This dictates a body plan different from that of animals. Second, their cells are encased in semirigid cell walls and cemented together, preventing them from moving as animal cells do. This dictates a different set of mechanisms for shaping the body and different developmental processes to cope with a changeable environment. Because they cannot match themselves to their environment by moving from place to place, plants adapt instead by altering the course of their development. Their strategy is opportunistic. A given type of organ—a leaf, a flower, or a root, say—can be produced from the fertilized egg by many different paths according to environmental cues.   Hence, Plant development is influenced by quality, quantity and duration of light.

  • Show AnswerHide Answer
  • Workspace

Answer :
Explanation :

A number of possible explanations for why manhole covers are round include :   1. A round manhole cover cannot fall through its circular opening, whereas a square, rectangular, or oval manhole cover could fall in if it were inserted diagonally in the hole. 2. Circular covers don’t need to be rotated or precisely aligned when placing them on the opening. 3. A round manhole cover is easily moved and rolled. 4. Human beings have a roughly circular cross-section. 5. Round tubes are the strongest shape against the compression of the earth around them, so the cover of the tube would naturally be round as well. 6. It’s easier to dig a circular hole.
