Answer:
The correct answer is (b)-False
Explanation:
Bacteria do not undergo meiosis or mitosis to reproduce and increase its genetic recombination. To increase their genetic recombination bacteria take the help of horizontal gene transfer through which it gets the genetic material of another bacteria. This new gene helps bacteria to survive in the challenging environment.
Bacteria divide through binary fission in which one cell of bacteria divides into two equal daughter cell each having its genetic material because genetic material of parent cell segregate equally into both the cell.
Therefore bacteria do not undergo meiosis or mitosis.
Yes, that's a true statement.
It totally depends upon whether modification is being done in somatic cells or germ cells. Somatic cells modification is ethically accepted because it doesn't pass from one generation to another generation but germline modification is considered as unethical because the modification will pass on to the next generation leading to the persistence of modification in future generations. The problem with genetic modifications is that the impacts of modifications are unpredictable, rather than being fruitful they may lead to lethal mutations so if it occurs in just somatic cells, then even if it is lethal/harmful, it will be confined to only that individual but if a lethal mutation occurs in germ cells then it will pass on to the subsequent generations and it will persist in all future generations.
Answer:
Triassic Period (252 to 201 million years ago)
All continents during the Triassic Period were part of a single land mass called Pangaea. This meant that differences between animals or plants found in different areas were minor.
The climate was relatively hot and dry, and much of the land was covered with large deserts. Unlike today, there were no polar ice caps.
It was in this environment that the reptiles known as dinosaurs first evolved. Reptiles tend to flourish in hot climates because their skin is less porous than, for example, mammal skin, so it loses less water in the heat. Reptile kidneys are also better at conserving water.
