The Pteridopyhta, phylum of seedless vascular plants has about 1000 known living species, including those in the genera Lycopodium and Selaginella; the gametophyte of some of these species cannot photosynthesize, and instead uses mycorrhizae to obtain nutrients.
Explanation:
The pteridophytes, most advanced group of plant among the cryptogams i.e. seedless plants.
They are first land plants that have developed a well defined vascular system.
Ferns, horsetails etc are common members of this phylum.
Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from a high water concentration region through a selectively permeable membrane to a low water concentration region.
In diffusion, selectively permeable membrane is neither required nor involved while in osmosis, it is involved.
Answer:
<em>The correct option is B) Binary fission maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.</em>
Explanation:
Genetic continuity can be described as a fact that the daughter cells have the same amount and same type of genome as the parent cell. It includes the transfer of parental traits to children.
Binary fission can be described as a process of division which bacteria divides. Two daughter cells are produced as a result of binary fission. Each daughter cell is identical to the parent cell and hence maintains genetic continuity.
