Which best explains how binary fission contributes to the genetic continuity of a population? A Binary fission maintains genetic

continuity because the daughter cells contain twice as many chromosomes as the parent cell. B Binary fission maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. C Binary fission does not maintain genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. D Binary fission does not maintain genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain a smaller number of chromosomes than the parent cell.

Answer:

B Binary fission maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Explanation:

Genetic continuity ensures that genetic information is passed from one generation to another in correct way so that the resultant progeny has the complete set of genes required for survival. For example, at the end of mitosis, daughter cells should have the same number of chromosomes as parent cell.

Binary fission is a method of reproduction in some organisms like bacteria. It is an asexual mode of reproduction in which the parent cell splits into daughter cells without the process of fusion with another cell. It still maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells are identical to the parent cell and thus have same number of chromosomes and type of genes.

What types of organisms typically make up the base,middle and top of a food web
777dan777 [17]

A food web refers to the graphical or pictorial representation of the food consumption interconnections among living organisms in a particular ecosystem. The food web usually have a base, a middle section and a top section. The base of the food web is made up of plants, which are called the producers. Plants are able to make their own food and others in the web depend on them for food. The middle section is made up of primary consumers, which are those organisms that feed directly on plants while the top section is made up of secondary consumers, which are those that feed on primary consumers.

In many plants, stomata are found only on the lower surface of the leaf. The most likely explanation for this fact is that
sergejj [24]
D. Plants have adapted to deal with the sun in many different ways, and this is one. The stomata are regulated by guard cells, which are activated by different things depending on the species of plant, and guard cells are supposed to keep the stomata from staying open all the time and losing too much water to evaporation. So, the solution is to have the stomata on the bottom of the leaf to prevent direct sunlight contact (and therefore more evaporation), and guard cells to protect the stomata.

A mushroom-shaped landform consisting of a column of less resistant rock supporting a broader extent of wind-resistant rock is termed a yardang. Yardangs form in environments where prevailing winds are strong and move in a single direction. Yardangs occur in various deserts of the world such as the Turkistan and the Mojave deserts.
