Answer:

Distance from the sun has nothing to do with something being a planet or not. Pluto is not considered being a planet because it is too small so we call it a dwarf planet.

Because Pluto has an orbit around the Sun which is very elliptical, there are times when it crosses Neptune's orbit and becomes closer to the Sun than Neptune. For 20 years, from 1979 to 1999, Neptune was actually farther from the sun than Pluto.

REY [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Question: If a horticulturist breeding gardenias succeeds in having a single plant with a particularly desirable set of traits, which of the following would be her most probable and efficient route to establishing a line of such plants?

A) Backtrack through her previous experiments to obtain another plant with the same traits.  

B) Breed this plant with another plant with much weaker traits

C) Clone the plant asexually to produce an identical one

D) Force the plant to self-pollinate to obtain an identical one.

Answer:

C) Clone the plant asexually to produce an identical one

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction is a mode of production of progeny from a single parent. It does not include the fusion of male and female gametes. Therefore, the progeny obtained from the asexual reproduction is genetically identical to the parent plant and is called a clone. One of the methods of asexual reproduction in plants includes vegetative propagation.

To maintain desirable traits in progeny, one must perform asexual reproduction in the single parent plant with such traits. The asexual reproduction would produce the progeny having all the desirable genetic traits as that of the parent plant.

How did Darwin disprove Lamarck? Explain why Darwin still thought that Lamarck’s idea was very important.
ipn [44]
Darwin’s theory became accepted because it had more evidence that supported it. Lamarck’s theory suggest that all organisms become more complicated over time, and therefore doesn’t account for simple organisms, such as single-cell organisms. We also know through observation that characteristics inherited during an individual’s lifetime do not get passed onto their offspring; for example, if someone pierces their ear, it doesn’t mean that their children will be born with pierced ears. Darwin’s theory became even stronger when, many years after his death, the study of genetics emerged. Genetics ultimately showed that all inherited traits were passed on through genes, which are unaffected by outside world, as Lamarck would predict, and are instead naturally varied, as Darwin predicted. Though Darwin didn’t know what genes were, he could see their effect on natural selection.


Hope this helps!

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Fimbriae

Explanation:

The fimbria is a type of pilus possessed by some bacteria (Gram positive or negative) specially designed for attachment to surfaces or to neighbouring cells.

<em>Pili are generally thread-like or hair-like outgrowths on the surface of bacteria or other prokaryotic cells. While some function as structures for attachment are often referred to as fimbriae, some function by stabilizing mating bacteria during conjugation process.</em>
