A plant has a genetic defect that causes its leaves to dry out, becoming brittle and prone to injuries. The genetic defect most likely causes each leaf to lack a CUTICLE
Explanation:
The cuticle is the part of the cell (the waxy, water-repellant layer) that prevents injury and water loss
Binary fission is the process of a bacterial cell going from singular to double. Therefore the correct answer would be: "During binary fission, a bacteria cell grows in size because DNA and other organelles are duplicated."
