Cryptogams are non-flowering, seedless plants (reproduce via spores).

Vascular cryptogams have a vascular system (xylem & phloem) but do not produce seeds or fruits.

Pteridophytes (e.g., ferns, horsetails) fit this description.

Explanation

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

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a product of respiration.
• It not a factor that affects the process.

Explanation

Malic acid is a product of aerobic respiration.
