Answer:
d. Gemmulation involves providing a resistant layer of cells for a capsule; fragmentation is merely breaking off chunks of tissue to grow a new organism
Explanation:
Gemmulation and fragmentation are both a type of asexual reproduction. Gemmulation starts when mass of cell which is produced asexually that are capable of producing a new organism.
These mass of cells gets surrounded by a protective covering which provide a resistant layer of cell and the structure is called gemmule.
In fragmentation, the parent body part breaks from the whole body and gives rise to a new organism. For example in planaria. So the correct answer is d.
Answer:
a. the result of an individual's genetic constitution
Explanation:
Phenotype is the morphological expression of genotype. The genetic constituent of an individual is known as genotype. Genotype determines the genetic traits and imparts specific features of the organisms which constitute the phenotype of the organism.
The phenotype of the organisms depends on the type of the alleles of the genes present in the genome of the organisms.
For example, a human with genotype "ii" has blood type "O". Here, "ii" is the genotype that is responsible for phenotype "O blood type".
On the other hand, a human with genotype "IAIA" has blood type "A". Here. "blood type A" is the phenotype.
Mitosis is the process by which the nucleus of a cell divides to form two new nuclei?
