The feeding mechanism is of several types.If it is entirely plant-like (photosynthesis), it is called holophytic. It is entirely (holo) animal-like(zoic),that is devouring alreadyexisting food, it is called holozoic

Meiosis ::

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half in daughter cells, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them.

Why it is called as Reduction Division ::

1. As the Meiosis division process involves in reduction of chromosome number in the daughter cells to half the number in the parent cell, this process is called Reduction Division.
Meiosis creates gametes (egg and sperm cells).

2. The resulting gametes have 23 new chromosomes, one member of each of the 23 pairs, representing unique combinations of the original maternal and paternal copies.

The term 'Vector' in recombinant DNA methods, refers to a plasmid or other agent used to transfer DNA into a living cell.

A tetrad is formed from two homologous chromosomes, each consisting of two chromatids in the first stage of meiosis called prophase1.

Aerobic respiration is the reaction takes place in presence of oxygen which quite opposite to anerobic. The direct result of aerobic repiration is ATP molecules from breakdown of glucose molecules.
