A) “The usefulness of irrigation infrastructure in California today cannot be overstated, since it is the most common means of conveying water for agricultural purposes." B) “Sprinkler irrigation systems are a contemporary way of irrigating that requires machinery to spray water in all directions. These are currently used throughout the United States and are especially prevalent in California." C) “The irrigation system developed by the Hohokam people in the 7th century CE in what is now Arizona was simple, but this system applied hydraulic engineering design features that are in use today throughout California." D) "Natural humidity, which renders irrigation unnecessary or reduces its importance in the northern reaches of California, gradually decreases toward the sun-scorched but nonetheless fertile valleys of the southern part of the state." 12 Auxins are a class of hormones that influence plant growth, including leaf orientation (the tendency of leaves to be larger on one side of their long central axis than the other). University of California, Berkeley biologist Ciera Martinez and colleagues noted that in certain plants in which leaves grow in pairs, auxins will typically be concentrated in opposite sides of each leaf in the pair (e.g., on the left side of one leaf in the pair and the right side of the other). Accordingly, they hypothesized that paired leaves should tend to show opposite-side orientation, and they tested their hypothesis by examining paired leaves from several species of grapevines. Which choice best describes data from the graph that support Martinez and colleagues" hypothesis? A) Although the number of leaf pairs showing same side orientation is fairly high in the riverbank grape, it is much lower in both the Amur grape and graybark grape. B) In the riverbank grape, graybark grape, and Amur grape, all the leaf pairs show opposite -side orientation. C) Although the exact ratio varies by species, the riverbank grape, graybark grape, and Amur grape all show more leaf pairs with opposite-side orientations than with same-side orientations. D) The number of leaf pairs showing opposite side orientation is fairly high in the graybark grape, but not as high as it is in the riverbank grape. 13 Tài liệu Digital Sat Miễn Phí Tài liệu Digital Sat Miễn Phí https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550688189301
