Thread Question 1 Part A
Which is strong evidence that similar traits in different evolutionary lineages are the result of homology and not
homoplasy? See Section 25.1 (Page)
You did not open hints for this part.
ANSWER:
The traits are analogous.
The traits are also found in many intervening lineages on the tree of life.
The traits are genetic, not morphological.
The traits are not also found in many intervening lineages on the tree of life.
Chanter 25 Question 6

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.  

the answer is c. have a great day; )
