Grafting is the process of combining the best characteristics of two species related plants. Firstly the plants have to be closely related, for example you can graft different citrus varieties together, but you cannot graft a citrus onto an apple as they are not compatible.

Normally grafting is done to combine a rootstock which may have desirable qualities (such as being able to tolerate poor or waterlogged soils) to a "shootstock" or "scion" which has desirable qualities such as a unique flower or fruit.

The grafting process does not produce a new genetically different variety, it simply produces a symbiosis of two plants - and is considered vegetative propagation.

As such any seeds that may be produced on the Scion (or stock if it is allowed to flower) will produce seed specific to that particular plant and not a hybrid seed mix of the two.

Why sound cannot be produced in empty space?

Sound cannot be produced in empty space because there is no air to carry it. Sound is carried from person to person through talking because the vibrations travel through the oxygen molecules, which your ear picks up on and sends signals to your brain. Without molecules to vibrate, no sound can be produced.


How are sound waves in air produced?

Sound is a longitudinal wave. Hence, it travels through the air through compressions and rarefractions of molecules. This is also why it cannot travel through a vacuum.


Are cells produced from nonliving materials?

Everything is ultimately created from non-living things.

THROUGH air or water transverse waves cannot travel. But on the surface of water transverse waves can be produced

Why you cannot hear the sound of explosion produce in the sun?

Sound waves cannot travel through space because space is a vacuum, meaning there is no medium (like air or water) for sound waves to travel through. Since the Sun is in space, the sound of an explosion produced by the Sun cannot be heard on Earth.


Which image A'B'C'D' of ABCD cannot be produced using only reflections?

To determine which image A'B'C'D' of ABCD cannot be produced using only reflections, we must consider the properties of reflections. A reflection preserves distances and angles but can change the orientation of a shape. Therefore, if A'B'C'D' has a different orientation (for example, a clockwise arrangement when ABCD is counterclockwise), it cannot be produced by reflections alone. Additionally, if the image violates the symmetry required for reflections, such as being a non-congruent shape, it also cannot be achieved through reflections.


Why is insulin only produced in the pancreas?

Because it cannot be produced anywhere else.


Can sneezing transmit STDs?

No, sneezing cannot transmit sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). STDs are typically transmitted through sexual contact, not through respiratory droplets like those produced during a sneeze.
