Answer:

Basically, the important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger. Thus, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. What if a cell lost its cytoplasm. Without the cytoplasm all the organelles would move around and damage the cell. Without the cytoplasm giving the cell shape and support the cells would be weak. Surface area in a cell is important because the surface of the cell is where the gets all nutrients it can't produce itself, and releases all waste products.

Answer:

Abiotic is basically a non living factor so the answer is

D. Sunlight, temperature , conductivity, dissolved oxygen.

All other options contain one biotic or living factor like algae, star fish and crabs these aren't Abiotic.

Answer:

1. fragmentation- genetically identical

2. budding- genetically identical

3. haploid cells from two different mycelia fuse to form a zygote- genetically distinct

4. one hyphae creates spores through mitosis- genetically identical

Explanation:

1) Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction i.e. one parent, employed by certain organisms including fungi in which a FRAGMENT breaks off from the single parent to produce new cells. Since it is an asexual reproduction, the resulting cells will be GENETICALLY IDENTICAL.

2) Budding is another form of asexual reproduction that fungi undergoes e.g yeast. In the budding process, buds develop on the parent cell and later grow into mature cells that are GENETICALLY IDENTICAL to the parent cell.

3) In fungi, two different mycelia can produce haploid sex cells via the process of meiosis, which then fuse to produce a ZYGOTE. This method is a sexual means of reproduction. Hence, the zygote formed will be GENETICALLY DISTINCT from the parent.

4) Hyphae (threadlike filaments) of a fungi can via MITOTIC DIVISION produce spores, which then germinates under favorable conditions and grows into a new fungus. This new fungus cell is GENETICALLY IDENTICAL to the parent hyphae.

Biotechnology is a growing field of applied biology. Many crops, such as corn, have been engineered to be resistant to herbicide

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Corn crop is resistant to herbicides because they are genetically modified through genetic engineering. There are some bacteria which are resistant to herbicides i. e. no effect of chemicals on that bacteria. So the biotechnologist take a gene from this resistant bacteria and induced it in the corn plant which becomes the part of their genetic makeup. So when we apply herbicide, the gene produces some enzymes which cancel the adverse affect of herbicide and only weeds are affected.
