The existence of being able to process photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is a functional and adaptive mechanism which enables plants to make and create their own food with the use of sunlight. Also, water and carbon dioxide, oxygen is then the by product of this process which is beneficial to other organisms especially heterotrophs.
Bryophytes never form xylem tissue, the special lignin- containing, water-conducting tissue that is found in the sporophytes of all vascular plants.
A downside to this mutant corn wohld be that it would give rise to a presticide-immune strain of the certain insect.
All the non-immune bugs would die, leaving the few immune ones to reproduce. That would result in a overpopulation of immune super-bug that would still be able to go ham on the large, GMO corn, like nothing happened, and still go on to affect native plant populations. That can become a huge problem.
Hope that helped!
A, as with all organisms, growth is always the primary result of cell division, the mitosis type, meiosis cell division results in gametes (sperm and eggs)
