The parent plant reproduced asexually to form the daughter plant. if the leaf cells of the parent plant have 24 chromosomes, which two statements are true of the daughter plant?
a. the daughter plant developed from a zygote.
b. the leaf cells of the daughter plant have 12 chromosomes.
c. the daughter plant is genetically similar to the parent plant.
d. the leaf cells of the daughter plant have 24 chromosomes.
e. the reproduction of the daughter plant involved meiosis.

The correct statements are C The daughter plant is genetically similar to the parent cell. D The leaf cells of the daughter plant have 24 chromosomes

Explanation:

According to the given question the parent plant reproduced asexually to form the daughter plant as a result the daughter plant will inherit the genes of parental plant.

During  Asexual reproduction the fission of gamets or the change in the number of chromosome does not occur.From this point of view it can be stated that the daughter organism will contain same number of chromosomes at that of parental organism.

  There are many typesw of asexual reproduction such as fission,budding,spore formation,vegetative propagation,fragmentation etc.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!

is this a question? wassup
