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!

Which vitamin is synthesized in the intestine by bacteria?​
Black_prince [1.1K]

The correct answer is option a, that is, Vitamin K.

Vitamin K is primarily produced by the bacteria in the large intestine. The dietary sources include the green photosynthetic parts of the plants. The vitamin plays an essential role in the development of many blood-clotting factors in the liver, and their deficit can result in bleeding disorders.

There are two sources of vitamin K; this includes phylloquinone or vitamin K1, which is mainly found in green leafy vegetables and menaquinone or vitamin K2 that is produced by some kinds of intestinal bacteria.

In a prokaryotic cell, most ribosomes are
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: cytosol

Explanation:

Ribosomes are special because they are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. While a structure such as a nucleus is only found in eukaryotes, every cell needs ribosomes to manufacture proteins. Since there are no membrane-bound organelles in prokaryotes, the ribosomes float free in the cytosol.

How do normal faults differ from reverse faults?​
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

In a Normal Fault, the hanging wall moves downwards relative to the foot wall. They are caused by extensional tectonics. This kind of faulting will cause the faulted section of rock to lengthen. In a Reverse Fault, the hanging wall moves upwards relative to the foot wall.
