Polyploidy (more than two complete sets of chromosomes) is not rare among plants. For example, pollen grains may reach female flowers via animals or wind. In some cases, pollen grains from species with 4 complete sets of chromosomes will have 2 sets of chromosomes. Pollen grains may fuse with a female reproductive organ with 1 set of chromosome (so, female plant must have 2 sets of chromosomes). The resulting zygote will have 2 + 1 sets of chromosomes, so the plant will have 3 complete sets of chromosomes.

What differentiates the inflammatory response and the immune response?
Elis [28]

Answer:

The immune system initiates inflammatory response while the immune response involves how this harmful substances are recognized and destroyed.

Explanation:

The inflammatory response is the normal response of the body's immune system to injuries to tissues by bacteria, trauma, toxins, that enter the body. Immune cells then quickly react to the damaged area to fix the problem because this area has become isolated separating the foreign substance from further contact with other body tissues. During the process, there may be symptoms like pain, warmth, swelling and redness.

The immune response involves how the body recognizes and and protect itself against  foreign and harmful substances.

Is this statment true or false ?? the united states population grows when more people are born worldwide each year than die worl
sesenic [268]

Answer: True

Explanation: The U.S. population is projected to increase from 312.2 million in 2010 to 400.9 million in 2050.33 For this four-decade period, that is an increase of 28% at an average annual rate of 0.6%. The anticipated annual rate of growth in the U.S. population is significantly slower than in the past. In the six decades from 1950 to 2010, the U.S. population had increased from 157.8 million to 312.2 million, a total gain of 98% at an average annual rate of 1.1%. Thus, the projected annual rate of growth in the U.S. population is only about half the rate of growth experienced in the recent past.  The projected slowdown in population growth is even sharper in the world overall. From 1950 to 2010, the world population increased from 2.5 billion to 6.9 billion, or by 174%. The average annual rate of growth—1.7%—was much higher than in the U.S. In the future, the global population is expected to increase from 6.9 billion in 2010 to 9.6 billion in 2050, or by 38%. The average annual rate of growth—0.8%—is only slightly higher than the rate projected for the U.S.
