To maintain turgor pressure, cells in both the leaves and stems of most non-woody or herbaceous plants contain a) chloroplasts. b) starch granules. c) many mitochondria. d) a large central vacuole.

The correct answer is (d) A large central vacuole.

Plant cell has very large central vacuole that helps in maintaining the turgor pressure of the cell and it also helps in maintaining the stability of plant cell. The maximum amount of water is absorbed in the vacuole and helps to keep the cell erect. In mature plants the vacuole tend to very large and provides mechanical support to the cell. It also helps in waste disposal, protection, growth and storage of plant materials.

they absorb it i think

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.
