Question

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

Explanation:

1. A single rose - bush cell cannot divide to form two whole rose bushes. A rose bush grows from a single - celled zygote through a series of cell divisions and differentiation, but a single somatic cell of a rose bush does not develop into a whole new plant by simple division.
2. Bacteria are single - celled organisms. When a bacterium divides (by binary fission), it results in two individual single - celled bacteria, not a multicellular organism.
3. Bacteria reproduce asexually by binary fission, where one bacterium divides into two. So, a bacterium is formed when another bacterium's cell divides.
4. When a cell (such as a rose - bush cell) divides through mitosis, it replicates its organelles and genetic material and then splits into two daughter cells.

Answer:

C. 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.
