Introduction:
Plants are immobile so they have to seek other vector’s help for their sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction in plants is of two types: meiosis and fertilization. In meiosis rearrangement of genes and reduction in chromosomal number take place while in fertilization reduced number of chromosomes is restored to produce a diploid cell.

Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
Meiosis results in the new gene combination in sexual reproduction of plants. Therefore, option b is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
The meiosis is a type of sexual reproduction in plants. Two division meiosis I and meiosis II occur to complete cell division and to produce gamete. Gene recombination occurs in meiosis I phase.
Hence, option b is correct.
Reasons for incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as “Mitosis.” Mitosis is a kind of asexual reproduction in mitosis daughter reproduce from one mother cells, another parent is not required for mitosis. Gene combination occurs in sexual reproduction only. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (c) is given as “Grafting.” Grafting is a technique of artificial reproduction. In grafting process, the tissues are taken out from the plant and kept adjacent in a way that they grow together. It is not a kind of sexual reproduction hence gene combination cannot take place. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (d) is given as “Both b and c are correct.” As in meiosis, gene combination takes place in meiosis but grafting is not a type of sexual reproduction, and gene combination occurs only in sexual reproduction. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (c), and d) are incorrect.
Genes from both parents combine to produce a new gene combination which occurs only in sexual reproduction. Meiosis is a kind of sexual reproduction, while mitosis and grafting fall in the category of asexual reproduction and artificial reproduction respectively.

Steroids diffuse through membranes without transporters. Compare and contrast the remaining substances and circle the three substances that can diffuse through a membrane the fastest, without a transporter.

Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.
