Answer:

Option (C) and (D).

Explanation:

Reproduction may be defined as the process by which the new offspring are produced from the parents. Two main types of reproduction are asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction.

The asexual reproduction involves the process of mitosis. No zygotes is formed during the process of asexual reproduction. The offspring produced from the asexual reproduction are genetically identical or similar to ts parent. The chromosome number of the offspring and parent are same. The daughter leaf cell has 24 chromosomes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C) and (D).

Let us consider each statement separately. A zygote is the result of the fusion of two gametes (reproductive cells) and thus only appears in sexual reproduction. For the same reason, E) is wrong; meiosis is a step in the making of gametes and again, a plant that reproduces asexually does not produce gametes. B) is also wrong since (healthy) members of the same species have the same number of chromosomes. The leaf cells of the daughter plant will have 24 chromosomes. The only case where this would not hold, is the case of sexual reproduction, where the gametes of the new organism have half the chromosomes of the ancestor organisms. Hence, C and D are correct. We have already justified D. As far as C is concerned, in asexual reproduction we have that every organism passes his whole genome to his offspring and this creates a lot of clones next to each other. Every plant in a garden of a species that reproduces asexually may be genetically identical and some biologists consider them for that reason as the same organism!

In pea plants, round (R) is a dominant trait, and wrinkled (r) is a recessive trait. Which combination would result in wrinkled
Artyom0805 [142]
The answer is rr because if it were "Rr" it would be round. Dominant always exceeds the recessive. so if both traits were recessive, it would be recessive. so "rr" is your answer

Which of the following is not a characteristic of cancer cells?
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

B. They have a single small nucleus.

Explanation:

The presence of large nucleus is a characteristic feature of cells that frequently undergo cell division. Cancer cells are characterized by uncontrolled continuous cell division even when the new cells are not required by the body.

This leads to the formation of benign or metastatic tumors. To undergo continuous cell division, the cancer cells have a large nucleus. The nucleus of the cancer cells is mostly hyperchromatic and distinct due to higher nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio. It allows these cells to exhibit the uncontrolled cell division.
