The sun is the most basic source of energy for all living beings. It supports photosynthesis in plants and algae that is the main reaction for producing energy rich compounds like carbohydrates etc. These compounds are utilized by all life on Earth to stay alive.
Answer:
The sporophytes of ferns grow through the rhizome
Explanation:
The gametophyte are responsible for sexual reproduction in plants while the sporophytes are usually responsible for asexual reproduction in plants.
Sporophytes are found in the rhizomes of plants and they help in the asexual reproduction.
This is how rhizomes are involved in asexual reproduction of ferns
Answer:
Explanation:
Sister chromatids are regarded as replicated chromosomes. Sister chromatids are two identical copies of chromosomes held at the centromere that are formed as a result of replication. They are identical in the sense that they contain same alleles/gene sequence of the same genes.
Homologous chromosomes, on the other hand, are similar (in length, centromere position) but non-identical chromosomes. Homologous are non-identical in the sense that they may contain different alleles of a gene and are received from each parent. homologous chromosome contain four chromatids; two of which are sister chromatids and non-sister to the other two.
Both undergo meiosis where homologous chromosomes separate in meiosis I while sister chromatids separate in meiosis II but only sister chromatids undergo mitosis.
A holdfast is a root-like structure that anchors aquatic sessile organisms, such as seaweed, other sessile algae, stalked crinoids, benthic cnidarians, and sponges, to the substrate.
