Answer:
<u>D) the nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA)</u>
<u />
Explanation:
Phages, or bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria.They have varying shapes, and sizes, and may contain one of two kinds of nucleic acid; these are RNA and DNA.
The nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides. These are genetic storage biomolecules made up of the monomers ribonucleic acid (RNA) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
Answer:
Water
Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
Lipids
Explanation:
The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer with a hydrophobic core made of nonpolar tails of phospholipids. The plasma membrane allows only uncharged, small and hydrophobic substances to pass through it. Charged particles such as ions, polar molecules such as sucrose can not cross the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide gases have small sizes and can diffuse through the spaces between the tails of phospholipids of lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane without any transport proteins. Lipids are hydrophobic and therefore, do not need any transport proteins to cross the lipid bilayer. The small water molecules are also free to move through the membrane.
Answer: Cells of the body that can divide and become differentiated.
Explanation:
Mitosis
Advantages: It enables your cells to multiply quickly and produce sister chromosomes.
Disadvantages: There is little genetic variation, each generation faces the same diseases.
Meiosis:
Advantages: The crossing over of genes during meiosis results in individual variety, which is beneficial to the population's survival.
Disadvantages: It requires the use of two gametes.
