How can inheritance of traits affect a crop’s ability to survive disease? Your explanation should include examples/evidence from your lessons and scientific reasoning related to the following concepts explored during this unit: Sources of variation within a population

Types of reproduction (cross pollination vs. propagation) (sexual vs. asexual)

Disease resistance and natural selection

mountains can affect the climate of nearby lands. in some areas, mountains block rain, so that one side of a mountain range may be rainy and the other side may be a desert. much of airborne moisture falls as rain on the windward side of mountains.
