Question

cells in a petal on a rose bush a bacterium which of the following statements are true? select all that apply. the bacterium was formed when another bacteriums cell divided. a rose bush cell can divide to form two rose bushes. if the bacterium divides, it will become a multicellular organism. when a rose bush cell divides, it copies its parts and then splits into two cells.

Explanation:

• Statement 1: Bacteria reproduce asexually by binary fission, where one bacterium divides into two. So this is true.
• Statement 2: A single rose bush cell dividing will form new cells for the same rose bush, not two entire rose bushes. This is false.
• Statement 3: Bacteria are unicellular, and when a bacterium divides, it forms two separate unicellular bacteria, not a multicellular organism. This is false.
• Statement 4: During cell division in a rose bush (a eukaryote), the cell replicates its components (like DNA, organelles) and then undergoes cytokinesis to split into two daughter cells. This is true.

So the correct statements are:

• The bacterium was formed when another bacterium's cell divided.
• When a rose bush cell divides, it copies its parts and then splits into two cells.

Answer:

• The bacterium was formed when another bacterium's cell divided.
• When a rose bush cell divides, it copies its parts and then splits into two cells.
