The common type of banana we buy and eat is a Cavendish banana. They arose from random mutant bananas that were produced sexually from Wild banana plants. The Cavendish banana is infertile and can only be produced by cloning from root shoots. Given that large commercial growers worldwide now plant only the mutant type resulting from the clones they produce, which of the following statements would be true relative to their reproduction?

A
This type of reproduction would require successful pollination.

B
Only asexual reproduction is used to produce new plants.

C
Both sexual and asexual reproduction occurs to produce new plants.

D
New gene combinations are possible from this type of reproduction.

The correct option is B) Only asexual reproduction is used to produce new plants.

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction can be described as a type of reproduction in which daughter cells are produced which are exactly identical to the parent cell. Cloning can be described as a type of asexual reproduction as the results of a clone produce identical copies of the parent cell.

As the common type of banana is sterile and cannot be made by sexual means, and it is only made by asexual methods this means that the common type of banana can only be produced by asexual means.

i believe it would cause an increase of percipitation, though i could be wrong. so i would say b is the answer.

i believe the correct answer is the virus gets an envelope that contains host molecules when it leaves the host cell.

explanation:

during the bidding/release stage of a virus, it encapsulates itself with part of the membrane of the host cells in this case the cells of the monkey and is the reason as to why the scientist found the genetic material of the monkey on the viral cell surface.

further explanation

to understand this answer, we have to know the cycle a virus undergoes to replicate. a virus is basically a bunch of genetic material enclosed in a capsule and lacks any machinery or organelles to ensure their survival so they must enter a host cell in order to get the environment needed to survive. some viruses enter and lyse(destroy) the host cell after they have replicated and undergo the lytic cycle while some enter and leave the cell intact after replicating and these undergo a lysogenic cycle. to enter the cell, they undergo the first process called attachment by binding to specific receptors and co-receptors on the surface of the host cell. after attaching to the cell, they start the second phase called penetration where virus enters or is engulfed whole by the host cell through a process called endocytosis. it is the same process that a cell takes up materials it needs or pathogens around it. uncoating of the virus then happens after the virus has been engulfed and is the third stage. the virus then undergoes releasing of its genetic material in the host's matrix.   the materials then enter the nucleus and undergo biosynthesis by adding themselves in strands of rna being translated and then copies of the virus are produced in addition to the host genetic material. the material/newly formed viral material then undergoes assembly inside the host cell and form a capsule around them. the virus undergoes the last release/budding stage by binding to the host membrane and pushing outwards. in doing so when they tear away from the host membrane, they pick up the genetic material from the membrane of the host cell to form their envelope.
