The remaining cells can divide and make new cells to heal the wound. But an organism made of one large single cell will die from even a small wound, because the inside contents of its single cell will leak out and it has no backup cells to preserve its life therefore cells can't be that large in size.

Hope this helps!

In a large population of plants, notches in the leaves are caused by a dominant allele N and lack of notches by a recessive alle
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

If the population is in equilibrium, the allele frequencies will be constant.

There is nothing about the heritability of dominant or recessive alleles that make dominant ones any more likely by nature. This rules out choices A and B.

Genetic drift mentioned in D refers to alleles leaving a population. Nothing like this was mentioned in the question, so count that answer out.

C is the only remaining answer by process of elimination. It is also the most logical choice. Directional selection refers to a process of natural selection wherein extreme phenotypes (notched leaves, or non-notched leaves) are favored. In this case, there may be some external pressure causing notched leaf plants to be more evolutionarily fit, meaning that they survive long enough to reproduce more and increase allele frequency of the dominant allele.
