The genetic material inherited in an organelle, such as a mitochondrion or a chloroplast, exhibits Extranuclear inheritance.

When DNA in cytoplasmic organelles is handed on to offspring, extranuclear inheritance occurs. Cytoplasm can be found in both sperm and ovum cells in humans. Most of the extranuclear DNA formed when the sperm and ovum combine belongs to the mother. The organelles in the fertilized cell expand and divide as the fertilized egg grows. As a result, each new cell receives mtDNA, which likewise divides and is passed on. As a result, each child inherits mtDNA from the mother. The identical procedure takes place in creatures with cells that contain chloroplasts.

Nuclear DNA differs greatly from extranuclear inheritance in several ways.

Chloroplasts and mitochondria both store several copies of DNA. Additionally, the cytoplasm of every cell contains a number of each organelle, occasionally thousands.
In a cell's cytoplasm, chloroplasts and mitochondria are dispersed at random. There is a random distribution of amount in both daughter cells after cell division, whether it be through mitosis or meiosis.

How can I indemnify characteristic of all living things

Papessa [141]

Answer: All living things are comprised of cells are in the case of unicellular organisms a cell. And what determines if something is living is whether are not it can reproduce without the assistance of a host organism. Some organelles all cells contain whether prokaryotic are eukaryotic are cell membranes Genetic material (DNA and forms of RNA) a cytoplasm and ribosomes. Obviously there are many more organelles but these are some shared by all cells whether prokaryotic, eukaryotic or plant a type of eukaryote.

Choose the FALSE statement.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The false statement is C. The hamstrings are prime movers of hip (thigh) flexion and knee (leg) flexion.

Explanation:

The hamstrings are also called ischiosural or simply, femoral. They are the powerful and voluminous musculature that is located in the back of the thigh and that performs its action mainly on the knee, flexing it and also rotating it.

The hamstrings are made up of three muscles: the biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranous. In addition, the tendons are located at the back of the thigh and cross the hip and knee joints. As the hamstrings cross two joints, they have two actions, including knee flexion and hip extension, as well as hyperextension.
