We use cell membranes to treat disease because the cell membrane is one of the main barriers that pathogens need to overcome, hindering their replication.

<h3>What is the cell membrane?</h3>

The cell membrane is a thin lipoprotein film formed by phospholipids and proteins delimiting the cytoplasm of all types of cells. They prevent invading microorganisms from attaching to the cell and replicating.

Then, using the concepts of cell membrane, we can use them to prevent viral diseases from occurring since the virus cannot fix itself to replicate. So in this case, the cell membrane is one of the main barriers that pathogens need to overcome, hindering their replication.

Which of the following statements correctly describes how Mendel accounted for the observation that traits had disappeared in th
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

A) Traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were "hidden" by the dominant ones in the F1.

Explanation:

Mendel discovered the fundamental theory of heredity: that inheritance involves the passing of genes (he called it discrete units of inheritance), from parents to offspring. Those genes are with two alleles in the genotype, one inherited from the father and other inherited from the mother.

When he cross-bred pure-bred parent (always produced offspring identical to the parent) plants dominant traits were always seen in the offspring, while recessive traits were hidden until the first-generation (F1) hybrid plants were left to self-pollinate. Mendel also noticed that in second-generation (F2) of the offspring 3:1 was ratio of dominant to recessive traits.

Eukaryotic cells contain DNA in the mitochondria and chloroplasts (in addition to the nucleus). Is the organization of DNA in th
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The DNA is more closer to bacteria.

Explanation:

Mitochondria and chloroplast are considered as semi-autonomous organelle because they contain their own genetic material. The mitochondria and chloroplast evolution can be explained by the endosymbiont theory.

The DNA of mitochondria and chloroplast are more closely related to bacterial chromosome rather than eukaryotic chromosome.  Both the organelle and bacterial DNA are double stranded and  their translation can be inhibited by the chloramphenicol. Some of their replicating enzymes also show similar characteristics.

Thus, the DNA is more closer to bacteria.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Nitrogen is present in the atmosphere in a molecule form about 78 percent. This nitrogen comes to the earth with the water through rainfall. Some nitrogen fix by beneficial microorganisms such as Cyanobacteria and Azotobactor which are present in the roots of higher plants. These microorganisms convert nitrogen molecule into nitrates and used by the plants. There are some other microorganisms which again convert nitrate into nitrogen molecules, called denitrifying bacteria and nitrogen molecule goes to the atmosphere again and complete the cycle.
