Question

the micrographs below show cells from two different organisms: a rose bush, which is multicellular, and a bacterium, which is unicellular. cells in a petal on a rose bush a bacterium which of the following statements are true? select all that apply. a rose bush cell can divide to form two rose bushes. the bacterium was formed when another bacteriums cell divided. 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: A rose bush cell divides to form two cells (not two rose bushes). So this statement is false.
• Statement 2: Bacteria reproduce by binary fission. One bacterium divides to form two. So a bacterium is formed when another bacterium's cell divides. This statement is true.
• Statement 3: When a bacterium divides, it forms two single - celled bacteria (not a multicellular organism). So this statement is false.
• Statement 4: Both prokaryotic (like bacteria) and eukaryotic (like rose bush cells) cells copy their parts (DNA, organelles in eukaryotes) and then split into two cells during cell division. This statement is true.

Answer:

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