Answer:

Each granddaughter cell is haploid (n)

Explanation:

Meiosis in the parent cell with a "2n" chromosome number would produce a total of four daughter cells. Each of these daughter cells would have an "n" number of chromosomes as separation of homologous chromosomes to the opposite poles during anaphase-I reduces the chromosome number to half in the daughter cells. Also, the event of crossing over and random segregation of homologous chromosomes makes the daughter cells of meiosis genetically different from each other.

Each of these four cells enters mitosis and forms a total of eight cells. Since mitosis maintains the chromosome number, each of the eight cells would have an "n" number of chromosomes and would be haploid.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Well, on one hand, this is a good thing as negative effects of the high demand for wood such as deforestation can be minimised. This will also sustain the supply of wood for several applications. However, there could be negative consequences of propagating such genetically-modified trees, which were not stated or are not yet known. For instance, the trees could be extreme soil nutrient consumers—depleting soil nutrients at a faster rate than they can be replenished and rendering such soil infertile in a short period.

Which species is an example of an autotroph?
xxTIMURxx [149]
An autotroph is an example of a producer, something that builds its own nutrients from molecules such as carbon dioxide and water. In this case, the correct answer is d. A hawthorne tree uses the process of photosynthesis to produce nutrients such as simple sugars which can then be used to build organic molecules inside the plant to fuel respiration and other biochemical processes.
