Answer:

Meristems are able to differentiate into other tissues

Explanation:

The presence of meristems explains the ability of plants to regenerate from cuttings.

<em>Meristems or meristematic tissues consist of a group of actively dividing, undifferentiated cells. They posses the ability to enlarge, stretch and differentiate into other types of cells or organs as they mature.</em>

Meristems are of three types:

Apical meristems which consists of shoot apical meristems that give rise to organs like leaves and flowers and root apical meristems that give rise to roots.
Intercalary meristems which is specific to the stems of monocots and responsible for rapid stem elongation as well as leaf regrowth in some plant species.
Floral meristems which is the transformation of apical meristems in flowers and responsible for the development of flower structures like sepal, petals, etc.

motikmotik

The correct answer is: ensure that all tubes are attached to collection devices

An adequately functioning nasogastric (NG) tube should prevent nausea and vomiting because stomach contents are continuously being removed. Using the NG after abdominal surgery is a routine postoperative procedure until gastrointestinal tract starts to function properly. The patency of the tube should be checked together with the amount and character of gastric drainage.

A farmer wanted to rid his apple trees of a particular leaf-eating insect. he sprayed his trees with an insecticide that killed

marta [7]

The survival of the 2 percent of the population is due to the presence of a gene obtained from other species. This gene must be responsible for developing resistance in the insects, against the insecticide that was used by the farmer. The gene got incorporated in only 2% of the insects and therefore, they survived and rest of them were susceptible to the insecticide and thus, died.
