Wnt proteins are modified by linkage of a monounsaturated fatty acid, palmitoleic acid, to a serine in the middle of the protein.

#XL - R Botany

In monocotyledonous plants, the primary root is short lived and is replaced by a large number of roots called “Fibrous root system”

II.Fibrous root System

It develop from other than radicles

Many Small branching Roots, called fibrous root, but no large Primary root

The huge number of thread like roots increases the surface area for absorption of water and minerals

Fibrous root anchor the plant less securely

Fibrous root system

Fibrous root system found in Monocot Plants.

e.g., Maize, Paddy, Wheat, Grass, Onion

Families- Liliaceae, Poaceae etc.

The surfaces of the cells that form the alveoli (small air spaces of the lung) are coated with surfactant, which decreases the alveolar surface tension. 

Lung surfactant contains 80 to 90% phospholipid by weight, and 70 to 80% of the phospholipid is phosphatidylcholine, mostly the dipalmitoyl species.

Hitchhiking

An important consequence of linkage disequilibrium is hitchhiking. This happens when an allele at  one locus spreads by natural selection acting on a second locus that is in linkage disequilibrium with  the first.
