Answer to Question 1

In addition to propagation directly from seeds, plants may also propagate through
asexual reproduction which may involve division of roots, cuttings of leaves, stems, or
roots; budding and grafting; and by tissue culture. The advantages of asexual
reproduction are that the result creates an exact duplicate of the existing plant. The
disadvantages include the time involved.



Answer to Question 2

Biostimulants stimulate soil microbial activity and improve soil cation exchange
capacity, stimulate plant growth, and promote disease resistance. Root growth
biostimulants improve water and nutrient uptake by the roots and also increase the
number of fibrous roots. Biostimulants can greatly reduce the need for fertilizers,
especially nitrogen, which saves the grower money and reduces water pollution from
excess nitrogen run-off or percolation into ground or stream water.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.
