They knew traits were inherited, but they did not know why.
Answer:
Water (H2O)
Explanation:
Light reactions of photosynthesis release oxygen as a by-product. In the presence of sunlight, photolysis of water molecules occurs. Splitting of two water molecules obtains four electrons, four protons, and molecular oxygen. The oxygen-evolving complex, also called the water-splitting complex is associated with photosystem II (PS II). Splitting of water occurs in the oxygen evolving complex and the released electrons are passed one at a time to the reaction center of PS II. Therefore, a water molecule serves as a source of oxygen released during photosynthesis.
Answer:
The correct option is option C, nucleus
Explanation:
As the scenario described in the question, the medicine X functions on the DNA as it's characteristic shows that it is damaging the DNA. The DNA is present inside the nucleus of a cell. Hence, for a medicine to function on the DNA, the medicine must enter the nucleus of the cell as it is the location where the DNA is present.
Other options like, option D, is not correct because the process of conversion of mRNA into proteins takes place in the ribosomes and DNA is not present there.
