ANSWER: Biological biodiversity refers to all the different kinds of life that are obtainable in a particular ecosystem, this include all the plants and animal populations that are found in a particular geographical area.
Biodiversity supports healthy ecosystem because it enhances the productivity and the survival of the ecosystem. For instance, in a situation where there are large number of different plant population in an ecosystem, such population will present variability in genetic make up. If a negative event occur in the ecosystem, it will be possible for some plants to survive. But, in a situation where it is only one type of plant that is obtainable in the ecosystem, it will be quite easy to wipe all of them out at once. For instance, a disease outbreak can easily destroy all the plants.

Please find the detailed explanation of this statement below
Explanation:
Firstly, a repressed gene is a gene whose expression has been inhibited or repressed. The lac operon in E.coli bacteria is a regulatory unit containing structural genes, a single promoter and operator regions. The promoter is the region where the transcription enzyme (RNA polymerase) binds to in order to transcribe the genes in the lac operon. The structural genes in the lac operon can only be expressed in the presence of lactose sugar.
However, in the absence of lactose, LAC REPRESSOR, which is a transcription factor (protein), prevents the binding of RNA polymerase to the PROMOTER region by binding to the OPERATOR region of the lac operon. This inhibits the expression of the lactose genes in the operon.
Note that, the structural genes in the lac operon (lacZ, lacY, lacA) code for proteins that help break down lactose sugar for energy in the E.coli bacteria. Therefore, a bacteria cell with a repressed lac operon will be unable to degrade lactose sugar.
Answer:
The option 'All cells contain a nucleus' is not a part of the cell theory.
Explanation:
The cell theory proposed by scientists illustrates that every organism whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic is made up of a cell or different kinds of cells. It also that explains that cells are made from living things. According to the cell theory, cells are termed as the basic unit of life, without which life is not possible.
The cell theory does not claim that every cell must have a nucleus because many cells like cells of prokaryotes lack nucleus. Their genetic material is dispersed in the cytoplasm.
Cell division. The whole process involves 3 main stages namely interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis.It would, however be wrong to say that its mitosis only because mitosis does not involve the duplication of chromosomes. Duplication of chromosomes occur during the interphase while the splitting of cells occur during Telophase of mitosis and Cytokinesis. Therefore, answer to this has to be generalised to be just cell division.
