Use your knowledge of lipids to explain why desert plants need the waxy coating on their leaves to survive.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Desert plants are usually adapted for living successfully in the desert. The adaptations can include the presence of waxy coating on the leaves. The fictions of the waxy coat include the following: it reduces the water loss by the plants through evaporation, the cuticle protects the leave surface and it also insulates against heat.
Answer 2
Answer:

Desert environments lack water. All plants need water to survive. A waxy coating on plant leaves prevents water loss.

Which statement about sister chromatids is true?

Answers

Sister chromatids came from the same chromosome strand that sprung into existence, daughter chromatids.

 In this stage, cytokinesis occurs, which is responsible for producing four daughter cells each with a haploid set of chromosomes. During the crossing-over phase some chromosomes are observed to have segments that have recombined with the original parent chromosomes.
