Hello, so I attempted to clone a cabbage by cutting the stem into 3 pieces, planting them in separate pots, and letting them gro

w. As a result the top part of the stem grew the most (had lots of leaves and long roots). The middle part had some leaves but not that as many as the top stem part. The bottom part didn’t have any leaves but had some roots.
I was wondering if someone could explain these results. Do they have something to do with the Xylem or Phloem? Or the meristems? Or even the photosynthetic processe of the plant (More leaves=More photosynthesis)?


Thank you

Answer:

<em>It is due to more meristems present there.</em>

Explanation:

Meristem tissue can be described as the undifferentiated cells of the plant which have the capacity for cell division and convert into different parts of the plant.

The growth is the most at the apical meristems. At the shoot tips, there will be more meristems as compared to the other parts of the plant. This is the reason that the top part of the stem will grow the most.

Explain why the chromosomes in the haploid cells that are produced by meiosis I look different than those produced by meiosis II
scoundrel [369]
In meiosis one, homologous chromosomes only separate resulting in two cells. In meiosis II, the cells divide further, separating sister chromatids and resulting in four cells. So the cells are just even smaller with less chromosomes in each one.

We often hear people talk about family traits and how they seem to skip a generation, according to Mendel what has happened?
Vesnalui [34]
This family trait that skips a generation comes from an autosomal recessive trait or as Mendel called as hidden non-dominant trait. Offsprings have a dominant and recessive trait which comes from both parents. Recessive trait appears only when two offspring with same recessive trait blends. This happens in self-fertilization. In the human population, marriage is prohibited between offsprings, thus having recessive trait is only imminent when cousins are married.

What is a process by which organisms with characteristic suited to the environment will survive and reproduce
BartSMP [9]

According to Charles Darwin's theory of Evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.
