The answer is sexual reproduction.
Explanation: Sexual reproduction produces offspring by the fusion of gametes, resulting in offspring genetically different from the parent or parents. While Asexual reproduction produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes, genetically identical to the parent plants and each other, except when mutations occur. Therefore, it is Sexual reproduction.
Answer:
Explanation:
Diploid - Having pairs of chromosomes
Chromosome - A strand of DNA wrapped around a protein
Haploid - Having only one set of unique chromosomes
DNA - The molecule that carries genetic information
Sex Chromosome - An X or Y chromosome
Homologous Chromosome - A pair of chromosomes that contain information for the same traits
Answer:
The correct answer is - Roots allow plants to obtain water and nutrients, while shoots allow plants to obtain gases and sunlight.
Explanation:
Plants have two major parts of the body normally root and shoot. roots are the parts of plants that usually present under the ground and absorbed the essential nutrients and minerals for the life of the plant. Water is also absorbed by the roots that are used in the various processes such as transpiration and photosynthesis.
The shoot includes stem and leaves and responsible for the exchange of gases, particularly taking in carbon dioxide and removes oxygen with help of stomata. These also absorbs sunlight with help of chlorophyll present on the leaves.
Answer:
C. On average, 25% of the children are affected by the autosomal recessive disease if both parents are carriers.
Explanation:
A recessive trait is always expressed in homozygous genotype only. To have progeny with recessive traits from two normal parents, both the parents should be heterozygous carriers. For example, two normal parents with genotype "Aa" have 25% of the chances to have a child with homozygous recessive genotype (Aa x Aa = 1/4 AA: 1/2 Aa: 1/4 aa).
An autosomal trait is equally expressed in both males and females. Inbreeding increases the homozygosity and thereby, increases the risk of expression of recessive traits which are otherwise masked in heterozygous genotype.
