Answer:
All the above
Explanation:
A stem is one of two main structural axes of a vascular plant, the other being the root. It supports leaves, flowers and fruits, transports fluids between the roots and the shoots in the xylem and phloem, stores nutrients, and produces new living tissue.
Stems have four main functions which are:[1]
Support for and the elevation of leaves, flowers and fruits. The stems keep the leaves in the light and provide a place for the plant to keep its flowers and fruits.
Transport of fluids between the roots and the shoots in the xylem and phloem(see below)
Storage of nutrients
Production of new living tissue. The normal lifespan of plant cells is one to three years. Stems have cells called meristems that annually generate new living tissue.
Mitosis is when a DNA error, aka mutation, occurs in a body cell. When cells divide, it needs a copy of the DNA. During DNA replication, that error can cause the instructions for building proteins to differ. The change can not affect offspring. Meiosis is the same situation, but in sex cells. This can be transferred to offspring.
Because they are non renewable sources of energy and they took billions of years to form.
Having a karyotype done is important to detect crucial diseases such as Trisomy 13, Trisomy 21, Klinefelter's Disease, and Turner syndrome.
