Explanation

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a product of respiration.

Explanation

 Most ciliates exchange genetic material through a process called conjugation.

This process involves the temporary union of two ciliates, during which they exchange genetic material, specifically from their micronuclei. This exchange is a form of sexual reproduction that leads to genetic recombination and diversification within the population. 

Explanation

The average cell cycle duration in a typical human cell is approximately 24 hours.

This includes all phases: G₁, S, G₂, and M (mitosis), essential for proper cell division.

Explanation

The potato (Solanum tuberosum) has 48 chromosomes in its somatic (diploid) cells.

Its diploid number is 2n = 48, which is important for breeding and genetic studies.

Explanation

FBAO stands for Foreign Body Airway Obstruction.
