Meristematic tissue is characterized by its ability to divide and give rise to various types of plant tissues.

Pathogenic microbes are those that can cause diseases in humans, animals, or plants.

Phototropism is the growth of a plant towards light, facilitated by auxins.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that promote gut health and are often found in fermented foods.

Prokaryotic cells have circular DNA and lack membrane-bound organelles.

Sexual reproduction in plants involves the formation of gametes (male and female) and results in genetically diverse offspring.

Sexual reproduction typically involves two parents and results in offspring that are genetically diverse.

The kingdom Animalia consists of multicellular and heterotrophic organisms.

Monera consists of prokaryotic cells, which are unicellular and lack a defined nucleus.

Plants are characterized by having cellulose in their cell walls.

The kingdom Protista includes both autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms.

Annelida, or segmented worms, are characterized by their segmented bodies.

Echinoderms exhibit radial symmetry in their adult form, which is a defining characteristic of this phylum.

Nematodes, or roundworms, are characterized by a body covered with a cuticle and are unsegmented.

Phylum Porifera, which includes sponges, is characterized by a porous body structure.

Biotechnology is widely used in the food industry for fermentation, genetic modification, and food preservation.

Microbes are used in agriculture for pesticides, fertilizers, and enhancing soil fertility.

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is a widely used method for producing transgenic plants by transferring genes into plant cells.

Asthma is a chronic condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty in breathing.

Coughing is a common symptom of COPD, often accompanied by mucus production and difficulty breathing.

Increased thirst is a common symptom of diabetes due to high blood sugar levels.

High fever is a common symptom of influenza, along with other symptoms like cough and body aches.

Nausea, often referred to as morning sickness, is a common symptom experienced during early pregnancy.

Unusual discharge is a common symptom associated with many sexually transmitted infections.

Unusual discharge is a common symptom associated with many sexually transmitted infections.

Bacteria are used in agriculture for various purposes, including as pesticides, fertilizers, and for nitrogen fixation.

Microbes are used in agriculture for various purposes, including biopesticides and fertilizers.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help improve gut health and can prevent infections.

Yeast is commonly used in bread making due to its ability to ferment sugars and produce carbon dioxide.

Plasmids are commonly used as vectors in gene cloning because they can replicate independently within a host cell.
