Pathogens are microorganisms - such as bacteria and viruses - that cause disease. Bacteria release toxins and viruses damage our cells. White blood cells can ingest and destroy pathogens. They can produce antibodies to destroy pathogens, and antitoxins to neutralize toxins.

Explain why the daughter cells of meiosis are genetically different from each other but the daughter cells produced by mitosis a
Ganezh [65]

The daughter cells produced from Meiosis are genetically different from each other due to the process of Crossing Over in the stage of Prophase I.


In Mitosis, there is no Crossing Over involved, since it is intended to help the body in growth and repair, not in reproduction.


Genetic Variation is important for reproduction so that not all offspring look exactly like each other or so that they do not look exactly like their parents.

What is the major function of a leaf
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

The leaf (from Latin fŏlĭum, fŏlĭi) is the vegetative and generally flattened organ of vascular plants, specialized mainly to perform photosynthesis. The morphology and anatomy of stems and leaves are closely related and, together, both organs constitute the stem of the plant.

Typical leaves - also called nomophiles - are not the only ones that develop during the life cycle of a plant. From the germination, different types of leaves follow each other - coiled, primordial leaves, prophilic, bracts and antophiles in flowers - with very different forms and functions.

A nomophile usually consists of a flattened sheet, a short stem - the petiole - that joins the sheet to the stem and, at its base, a pair of appendages - the stipules. The presence or absence of these elements and the extreme diversity of forms of each of them has generated a rich vocabulary to categorize the multiplicity of types of leaves presented by vascular plants, whose description is called foliar morphology.
