Question

a micrograph of a cell dividing into two cells
two new cells. each new cell contains the same types of cell parts as the original cell. later, each of these cells may divide again to form more cells.
when a multicellular organisms cells divide, the organism can grow. each resulting cell is part of that organism. when a unicellular organism divides, each resulting cell is a separate unicellular organism.
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.
when a rose bush cell divides, it copies its parts and then splits into two cells.
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.

Explanation:

1. For the rose bush (multicellular organism), cell - division involves copying cell parts and splitting into two cells, which is a common process in multicellular growth.
2. Bacteria (unicellular organism) reproduce by cell - division, so a bacterium is formed from another bacterium's cell division.
3. A single rose bush cell cannot form two whole rose bushes through division; it contributes to the growth of the existing organism.
4. When a bacterium divides, each resulting cell is a separate unicellular organism, not a multicellular one.

Answer:

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