4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is -  keeping foreign particles out of the brain

Explanation:

The blood-brain barrier or BBB is the barrier of endothelial cells that is highly selective and semipermeable in nature that allows selective molecules like certain lipids, gas, and water and prevent other solutes and pathogens, toxins, and infectious agents from circulating blood between capillaries and brain. However, including specific gases and nutrients can cross this barrier.

Thus, the correct answer is - keeping foreign particles out of the brain

Complete each statement to identify the form of asexual reproduction.
Shtirlitz [24]

During vegetative propagation, a new plant grows from parts of the parent plant.

During mitosis, a cell divides to produce a new, genetically identical cell.

Explanation:

Both vegetative propagation and mitosis are methods of asexual reproduction followed by various organisms. In both the methods, only a single parent is involved in the reproduction of new daughter cells.

Vegetative reproduction is the asexual reproduction in plants with the formation of a new plant from the existing structures of the parent plant. These structures include rhizomes, bulbs, tubers etc.

Mitosis is a type of cell division which leads to the formation of genetically identical daughter cells similar to their parents. This occurs due to replication of the chromosome which then splits to form two identical daughter cells each with the complete set of chromosomes.
