The amoeba has a much larger genome (C-value) because A large percentage of eukaryotic genomes is non-coding DNA, the amoeba has much more non-coding DNA than the fruit fly.

  • The amount of DNA in an organism's haploid genome is measured by the C-value. It varies greatly, often rising in C-value as organism complexity increases—from prokaryotes to invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants.
  • The so-called C-Value Paradox refers to the finding that genome size does not always rise in proportion to an organism's apparent level of complexity.
  • In comparison to prokaryotes (organisms without a nucleus), such as bacteria, eukaryotes, or species having a nucleus to hold their genetic material (DNA), do have larger genomes.
  • Only 4 million base pairs make up the best friend of microbiologists, E. coli. On the other hand, the fly, Drosophila Melanogaster, has 140 million base pairs. Clearly, a fly is more complicated than a bacterium.

Whole brain death occurs when the ______ ceases to function.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Whole brain death occurs when the BRAINSTEM ceases to function.

Explanation:

In the US, whole brain death = legal death. Most people consider that a person is brain dead when the cerebrum, or the higher brain, is dead because the person is not able to think or have control over his/her body, but legally you are brain dead only when the brainstem ceases to function. The brainstem is responsible for keeping you alive and performing the most basic bodily functions like breathing and keeping your heart beating. But once it fails, you are legally dead. Even if your body could still survive using a ventilator and other devices, your brain has ceased to work and you wouldn't be able to survive if you were unplugged.

List the three common structures of a protist, animal, and plant cell
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Protist, animal, and plant are all eukaryotic cells and thus they all contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles in them

Three structures which are common in potist, animal, and plant cell are:

Cell membrane: It is usually a lipid bilayer structure which separates the cellular content from the surrounding environment.

Nucleus: It is double membrane-bound organelle present in all eukaryotic cells. It contains the genetic material of the cell.

Ribosome: It is a small particle made up of RNA and protein. It is generally present in multiple numbers in the cytoplasm of all living cells. It provides the site for protein synthesis.
