Answer: The correct answer would be gene pool.
Explanation:
Gene pool refers to the sum of all the alleles in an individual.
The allele refers to the alternate forms of the gene.
Large population usually has more genetic diversity as compared to small population. Variation in gene pool is essential for survival of a population.
Answer:
Brassinosteroids are synthesized from phytosterols and they promote plant growth and development by modulating cellular processes (e.g, cell division, elongation, photomorphogenesis, responses to environmental stimuli, etc).
Explanation:
Brassinosteroids are phytohormones similar to steroid hormones. Phytosterols include sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol, i.e., lipid (cholesterol) molecules that form the cell membranes. These polyhydroxylated steroidal phytohormones play a wide range of cellular roles during plant growth, development and immunity. Examples of brassinosteroid functions include plant development, xylem differentiation, responses to biotic/abiotic stresses, reproduction, etc. For example, campesterol, which is a precursor of brassinosteroid hormones, is an integral membrane component that functions during plant embryogenesis by regulating the permeability of cell membranes and by altering membrane-associated proteins, as well as signal transduction pathways.
Answer and Explanation:
In suspension cultures (liquid media), it has been demonstrated that single cells can regenerate to form an entire plant, and undergoes all the natural stages of embryo development.
Totipotent stem cells give rise to all types of cells including the placenta and embryo in animals.Pluripotent cells on the other hand are cells that are capable of self-renewing into the three different germ layers of an embryo forming an adult without giving rise to placenta. As the embryo grows, it develops into multipotent cells.
