Options found elsewhere:

-always genetically identical to one parent

-always genetically identical to both parents

-never genetically identical to one parent

-sometimes genetically different than both parents

Answer:

-sometimes genetically different than both parents

Explanation:

Protists are eukaryotes that cannot be classed as animals, plants, or fungi. They are quite diverse. Examples include amoeba, plasmodium, and slime mould.

Because they are so diverse, protists also have very different modes of reproduction. Some protists undergo asexual reproduction, where they simply make a copy of themselves without a mate. Others undergo sexual reproduction.

Therefore, the only option that can be correct is "-sometimes genetically different than both parents" .

If they were always genetically identical to one parent or both parents, that would mean that sexual reproduction could not be possible. If they were never genetically identical to one parent, that would mean that asexual reproduction could not be taking place.

You can, but I don't recommend it. Conditioner should only be used for damp or wet hair. If used on dry hair, it could ruin.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

B. stomata.  

Explanation:

Stomata are openings in the surface of the plant epidermis through which gases and water vapor pass. They are formed by two elongated cells whose shape is similar to bean grain or dumbbell depending on the species.  These cells are called guard cells, and in their midst there is a slit called the ostiole.

The stomata make the exchanges between the external and internal environment of the plant. They regulate the size of the opening, so it is possible to increase or decrease the rate of perspiration of the plant.

Stomata are usually located at the bottom of the leaf, but in aquatic plants such as the water lily they are at the top and still in vertical growing plants on both sides.

Answer:

E) horizontal gene transfer

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer can also be referred to as lateral gene transfer. It is the transmission of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) between different genomes.

Horizontal gene transfer has been shown to occur between different species, such as between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

Horizontal gene transfer is made possible by the existence of genetic elements, such as plasmids, transposons, and bacteriophages (bacteria that infects viruses).

Location, structure, function of xylem tissue​
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The xylem is located in the root, stem and the leaves of a plant.

The xylem contains dead cells arranged end-to-end forming continuous vessels. They have a hollow central space (lumen)  through which water passes. They walls contain lignin.

The xylem carries water and minerals, up from the roots to the rest of the plant.
