Answer:
The overall process of meiosis produces four daughter cells from one single parent cell. Each daughter cell is haploid, because it has half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. ... Unlike in mitosis, the daughter cells produced during meiosis are genetically diverse.
Pretty much the roots suck the water up like a straw. (The property responsible for this is unknown to me).
Answer:
Inbreeding leaves animals susceptible to genetic disease, and populations to reduced fitness. This family of three would not be able to sustain a population given their a) group dynamics and b) genetic variation
Explanation:
In small populations, the variation in genetic material is likely to be low. The consequence of this is that there is increased homozygosity. That means less members of the population carry two different alleles of a gene for any given trait. This increases the chance of the appearance of recessive traits, which could be disease causing or otherwise reduce fitness.
With only three related individuals left, the chances of generating a new and thriving population with the limited genetic material is almost non existent, especially considering the animals are a male, female and their pup
Edit
Viruses reproduce within the living cells of the host and use the cellular machinery to synthesize their own genome and other components. To gain entry into cells, they have developed a variety of mechanisms to introduce their genes and proteins into host cells.
