Diatoms contain chloroplasts that have four membranes. These four membranes are evidence of secondary endosymbiosis (Option c).

<h3>What is secondary endosymbiosis?</h3>

Secondary endosymbiosis is a hypothesis used to explain why diatom chloroplasts have four membranes.

According to this hypothesis, diatoms received different genes from distinct photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic ancestors.

The acquisition of genes of different ancestors led to diatoms having chloroplasts with four membranes.

When fruit fly embryos first begin to develop, a large cell is generated that contains over 8000 nuclei that are genetically ide
aniked [119]

Answer:

The embryo passes through multiple rounds of the cell cycle, but cytokinesis does not occur during M phases.

Explanation:

The cell cycle includes a series of events that make new cells from the existing cells. During the process, nuclear division during the M phase produces daughter nuclei. Nuclear division is followed by cytokinesis. Cytokinesis is the division of cytoplasm and results in the formation of daughter cells.

If a cell undergoing cell cycle forms daughter nuclei by mitosis, all the daughter nuclei are genetically identical. In the absence of cytokinesis, cytoplasm would not divide and the daughter nuclei will remain in the parent cell only. Repeated nuclear division without cytokinesis would produce multiple nuclei present in the parent cell.

It is because little kids and toddlers copy everything that they see other people do.  If they see you doing something, then they think they are supposed to do it too, and they copy you. Also they are “like sponges”(that’s what my mom says) and “soak up(/remember) everything”.
