A plant (1st generation) has a leaf cut off and the leaf is placed in a jar of water by a window. Several weeks later the piece has grown into a new plant (2nd generation). The process is repeated from the second plant for another new plant (3rd generation). Which statement correctly describes the model that shows the genetic relationship between the original plant and the 3rd generation?

Group of answer choices

The two plants have half the same genes.

The two plants have one third the same genes.

The two plants are genetically identical.

There is no way to know the genetic relationship.

the three components of a nucleotide are the nitrogenous base, the phosphate group and the five-carbon sugar.

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle

multiple allele inheritance is traits controlled by more than 2 alleles (ex: pigeons having 3 alleles of one gene govern their feather color).   so the answer is a.
