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.

The kingdom Animalia consists of multicellular and heterotrophic organisms.

Plants are characterized by having cellulose in their cell walls.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The kingdom Animalia is defined by multicellular and heterotrophic organisms.

Mollusca includes soft-bodied animals, many of which have a hard shell for protection.

Food availability is a density-dependent factor because its effect on population growth changes with population density.

All of the above options are direct threats to biodiversity, affecting species and ecosystems.

Asexual reproduction lacks genetic variation, which can make populations more vulnerable to diseases and environmental changes.

HIV/AIDS is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which is a virus.

All of these factors influence the rate of transpiration in plants.

Algae are primarily characterized by their ability to perform photosynthesis using various pigments, but they do not have true roots or vascular tissues.

Angiosperms are characterized by producing seeds, having vascular tissues, and producing flowers.

Dicots are characterized by having two cotyledons and net-like venation in their leaves.

Dicotyledons are characterized by having two seed leaves (cotyledons) and net-like venation in their leaves.
