Summary. Like all living organisms, plants use deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as their genetic material. The DNA in plant cells is found inthe nucleus, the mitochondria and the chloroplasts. The latter two organelles are descendants of bacteria that were captured by a eukaryotic cell and have become...
How do plant cells elongate? At the end of meiosis, are all daughter cells genetically different from parent cell? Where is DNA housed in the prokaryote cell? Which offspring of a single-celled eukaryote would inherit a mutation acquired by the parent cell?
How do plant cells elongate? Why can stem cells become any type of cell? How do antibodies know to attack antigens? How are cells in the epidermal tissue adapted? List the type of cells that can be produced by blood stem cells.

Why do animal cells not have a cell wall? Animal cells do not have cell wallsbecause they do not need them. Cell walls, which are found in plant cells, maintain cell shape, almost as if each cell has its own exoskeleton. This rigidity allows plants to stand upright without the need for...

Bees benefit flowering plants by helping the plants reproduce, via pollination. Because plants cannot seek out mates the way animals do, they must rely on outside agents, called vectors, to move their genetic material from one plant to another. Such vectors include bees, certain birds and wind...
plant, and they account for about 5% of flowering plants. The sex of single flowers in these plants is either female or male [3], and many of these plants have unequal male and female flowers and most of them have a low proportion of female/male [4]. To enhance yield in these ...
Mitochondrial pre-sequences were predicted using MitoFates v.1.1 with ‘fungi’, ‘metazoa’, and ‘plant’ options [115]; TargetP v.2.0 with the ‘-org’ option set to ‘non-pl’ and ‘pl’ [116]; and TPpred3 with the ‘-k N’ option [117]. A mitochondrial pre-sequence was co...
The answer may lie in the reproduction strategy adopted by many plant species: selfing. Despite the well-characterized benefits of outcrossing, it is estimated that approximately 20% of angiosperms have evolved selfing as the predominant reproductive strategy. At least one-third of all flowering pla...
