Answer:

The function of a root hair is to increase the surface area available for absorption in plant roots

Explanation:

Root hairs are located mostly near a plant's root tips. Most water absorption occurs through the root hairs due to its large surface area for absorption of water. The root hairs acts as a protective mechanism to prevent harmful bacterial organisms from infecting the plant via the xylem vessels.

Which of the following best describes how mitosis and meiosis result in daughter cells with different numbers of chromosomes?
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

In Meiosis, cells are divided twice to the give haploid cells ( four cells) with half the number of chromosomes in the original cell, while in mitosis, cells only divide once to give identical cell with the same number of chromosomes as its origin.

Explanation:

Meiosis  is a process where a cell divides to give four cells, with the chromosomes half of that of the original cell. This cell division helps produce your genital cells like sperm and female egg. There are nine stages in meiosis.

Mitosis is a process of cell division where a single cell divides just once to produce two identical cells with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.
