In what does a new organism grows from just a part of the parent organism?
A cell.
What is the term to use for a new organism growing from just a part of the parent organism?
It is called budding. It is when a parent organism produces a bud like formation on it's body with it's genetic information. This happens in plants, sea sponges and some other organisms that reproduce asexually. Yes, this is a type of asexual reproduction. Meaning that a single parent organism is producing the offspring. There is no contribution from another organism, just one parent organism replicating it's traits so they can be passed on to their offspring.Another kind is called splicing. It is when you take a special kind of tape (the actual name of it slipped my mind) and you adhere the clipping of, say an orange plant to a lemon plant. It will grow off part of an organism, now made it's parent organism, but it will produce mixed fruits.There is also when a starfish loses it's body, and there is just an arm left. It can regenerate a new body, just like a lizard can regenerate it's tail!These are all types of asexual reproduction.
What is the part begonia plants grow from their parent plant?
leaves
What is the hardest part of being a parent?
The hardest part of a being a parent is watching your child grow up and they can't live with you anymore and move to another house
Why does an organism bother to reproduce?
It's part of the life cycle to continue the parent's "legacy" and their genetic material.
Is the heart a mutlicellular organism?
No, the heart is an organ, a part of a living thing, animal. An organism is an entire living thing not just one organ, or "part".
Can a new organism grow from part of the parent organism?
Yes. This is the process of asexual reproduction. Two examples are: when a starfish has one of it's points removed, cut off, or otherwise, un-attached, the dismembered point will then grow into a completely new starfish of the same species with the exact same D.N.A and genetic material as the parent starfish, because asexual reproduction passes the exact same genes off to the newborn. As opposed to sexual reproduction, like with humans. When we have a child, the genes are taken from half of one parent and half of the other to leave the actual genes up to chance, working from those that have come from the parent. My other example is that, once a bacterial organism has reached the stage at which to reproduce, the newborn will break off of the parent cell, in the famous process of multiplication among bacteria.
Why is mitosis such a critical part of the cell cycle?
Mitosis is the only way an organism is going to grow from one cell to trillions of cells. Just as you grew from one cell (a fertilized egg) to yourself now.
Is the nerve cell an organism or apart of an organism?
Part of an organism
Can lung be an organism?
No. It is an organ, which is part of an organism.
What is an organism that kills and eats all or part of another organism called?
An organism that kills and eats all or part of another organism is called a carnivore.
When do cells split into two cells?
It's all part of a cell's life. The cell must split to reproduce. When the cells in your body split, you grow or they replace other dead cells. Reproduction is necessary for sustaining a living organism or population.
