Bacteria are prokaryotes, fungi and protists are eukaryotic organisms and viruses are not living.

<h3>In what ways it is possible to distinguish prokaryotes from eukaryotes?</h3>

Bacteria (e.g., E coli) are prokaryotic organisms whose cells don't have nuclei or membrane bound organelles, reproduce by asexual ways such as binary fission, and they are beneficial as descomposers.

Some common diseases caused by bacteria include tetanus (Clostridium tetani), pneumonia (Klebsiella pneumoniae), cholera (Vibrio cholerae), etc.

Moreover, protists (e.g. algae) and Fungi (e.g. Saccharomyces cerevisiae) are eukaryotic organisms that have cell nuclei and organelles, can reproduce by asexual reproduction, can perform photosynthesis (algae) or acts as decomposers (fungi).

Some common diseases caused by protists/protozoans include malaria (Plasmodium), sleeping sickness (Trypanosoma), etc.

Some common diseases caused by fungi include aspergillosis (Aspergillus), candidiasis (Candida albicans), etc.

Finally, viruses are not living because they need a host to survive and are also useful as vectors to design gene therapy techniques.

Some common diseases caused by viruses include AIDS (HIV retrovirus), dengue fever (Flaviviridae viruses), etc.

Bacteria are used to produce insulin and other natural medications, viruses are used as carriers for the treatment of diseases,  protozoans can enhance the fertility of soils and fungi are employed in the preparation of foods.

In conclusion, bacteria are prokaryotes, fungi and protists are eukaryotic organisms and viruses are not living.

Ovules produced by an entirely green plant contain a rare mutation in a nuclear gene that is involved in chlorophyll synthesis,
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The plant will produce less chlorophyll

Explanation:

The plant still has a functional allele provided by the paternal gamete, thereby the leaves have this enzyme required for chlorophyll biosynthesis. In consequence, the plant can produce chlorophyll pigment but in less quantity, since it has only a functional allele coding for a key enzyme involved in the chlorophyll pathway

Photosynthesis is the main method by which primary production takes place in an ecosystem. What abiotic factor is a beneficial b
iris [78.8K]

Oxygen is an abiotic factor that is beneficial by-product of primary production.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The non living parts of an ecosystem that mainly affects the living organisms in it are called as an abiotic factor. These can include soil, temperature, water, oxygen and sunlight. The major energy source in earth is Oxygen which is abiotic factor.

It is very essential for the photosynthesis process to take place. Here, the plants converts water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar. This becomes food for plants. Then these plants are eaten by animals. Thus oxygen is an important and beneficial by-product of photosynthesis. Oxygen is also very important for the survival of human beings.

An organism with 24 chromosomes in each body cell will produce sex cells with __________ chromosomes.
Alik [6]
<span>The organism will produce 12 chromosomes (A).

Sex cells are the products of meiosis. Daughter cells of meiosis contain half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. So if the parent cell has 24 chromosomes, then the sex cell would have <em>12 chromosomes</em>.</span>
