True or false? homologous chromosomes are
the two identical chromosomes that make up
one of the 23 pairs in a mother cell.

False

Explanation:

During meiosis, 46 chromosomes pair up and cross over with another homologous pair resulting in 23 homologous chromosomes. However, the chromosomes in the homologous chromosomes pair are not identical which is what allows for crossing over to result in recombinant variation.

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
