Solution

The most likely scenario, if global warming becomes a permanent trend, is that blackberry bushes that are tolerant of warm weather will become more numerous. This is because these types of bushes are already adapted to warmer temperatures and can still produce fruit and seeds under these conditions. The other scenarios involve more complex and uncertain processes such as evolution and extinction.

Which of the following responses is a plant likely to use to cope with anunexpected rise in temperature?a) It produces ABA to ensure its stomata remain openb) Its gene expression is likely to changec) Its cells will rapidly degrade their heat shock proteinsd) It will increase nutrient uptake through its roots

Each variety of crop seed possesses its own set of characteristics. Some varieties of apple seeds, for example, are more resistant to disease than others. Some yield fruit with higher nutritional value. Others are more adaptable to diverse climates. As time goes on, many seed varieties are lost. For example, at the turn of the century, the U.S. grew nearly 8,000 varieties of apples. Today, more than 95 percent of those varieties are no longer extant. This worries many experts, who have stressed that the world's variable conditions require us to store a large variety of seeds and that diversification may be necessary to support a rapidly growing world population.Do It!Experts warn against the _________ of seeds.Press enter to interact with the item, and press tab button or down arrow until reaching the Submit button once the item is selectedA uniformityB alterationC modernizationD hoarding
