Embryonic mass cells are in constant
division, making it much easier to find good examples of each phase of mitosis. The root and the stem are the best place to
look because they contain meristematic tissue that retains the ability to
divide throughout the life of the plant.
The answer above is wrong. I took the test and the correct answer is C. a potato plant that is modified to resist pests
<span>The main reason surface area to volume ratio is important to a cell is because the surface area to volume ratio determines the rate at which cells uptake nutrients, liquids or gases. For instance, I have two organisms, A and B. Organism A has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1, whereas organism B has a surface area to volume ratio of 3:1. As organism A has a greater surface area to volume ratio, it means that organism A will be able to take up nutrients, liquids or gases via diffusion or osmosis at a greater rate than organism B, as it has more surface with which to exchange nutrients, liquids or gases. </span>
a. 2 > The 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes, differ between males and females (females have two copies of the X chromosome, while males have one X and one Y chromosome). In humans, the sex chromosomes comprise one pair of the total of 23 pairs of chromosomes. The other 22 pairs of chromosomes are called autosomes. <em>Chromosomes are thread-like molecules that carry hereditary information (they are made of protein and one molecule of DNA, which contains an organism's genetic instructions).</em>
