<u>Answer:</u>
The process of reproducing offspring from female eggs without any male involvement.
<u>Advantages</u>
1- Rapid production of numerous offspring and there is need of male gametes.
2- Require less amount of time and energy
3- Offspring are the exact copies of the parents and are called clones as they are similar morphologically and genetically.
<u>Disadvantages</u>
1- There is no genetic variability.
2- No new genetic combinations which can be a threat for their survival during population selection.
Allows them to stretch and compact when needed
Answer:
b. can no longer undergo cell division.
Explanation:
Terminally differentiated cells are those cells completely specialized in their functions that have lost their ability to proliferate. They are cells that have a unique, very specific, function, whereas undifferentiated cells do not have specialized functions that serve to replace old and dead cells. Examples of terminally differentiated cells include skin cells derived from epithelial stem cells, red blood cells and white blood cells generated from hematopoietic stem cells, etc.
If scientists collect and store seeds samples this means that they want to have a collection of the species with the objective of being sure that the species won't disappear- with the objective of preserving the species.
If they collect seeds of many species, this means that they're interested in the diversity of species: the correct answer is (4) preserve the diversity of plant species
