Given Question:
Can prokaryotes exchange genes with each other?
Answer: <u>True</u>
Explanation:
By the process of conjugation, their DNA is <u>transferred</u> from one prokaryote to another by means of a pilus, which brings the organisms into contact with one another. The DNA transferred can be in the form of a plasmid or as a hybrid, containing both plasmid and chromosomal DNA.
The option which is not a characteristic of chordates is chloroplasts in their cells.
Chordates do have a dorsal supporting rod (vertebrates are types of chordates - they have a spine), a dorsal hollow nerve cord (within the spine), and pharyngeal pouches. However, they do not have chloroplasts, because that is a characteristic of photoautothropic eukaryotes, which chordates certainly are not.
Answer:
D. the homologous chromosomes are paired AND the spindle is formed
Explanation:
Meiosis is the type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with each having a reduced number of chromosomes (by half). Both meiosis and mitosis occur in different stages including prophase, metaphase, anaphase etc but meiosis occurs in two series of division processes called meiosis I and meiosis II.
In prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes, which are similar but non-identical chromosomes from male and female parents pair to form tetrad or bivalent. This pairing of homologous chromosome is unique and peculiar to MEIOSIS but never mitosis.
<span>Insects are found in almost all ecosystems on Earth, with the rarity being oceans. While some species, such as coconut crabs, sand hoppers, woodlice and pill bugs dwell on land, crustaceans are generally found in water — and usually oceanic — regions. Adapting to their habitat, many insect species evolved wings — two pairs for most and one pair for others. A tracheal system is also present for breathing. Crustaceans, on the other hand, breathe using gill-like mechanisms.</span>
The cellular process shown in the image as x, y and z are mentioned below:
X is Replication. It is the process by which double- DNA Replication is the process by which double stranded DNA makes its own copies. Each strand on its separation, synthesizes a complementary stand.
Y is Transcription. It is the process by which copying of the information from a strand of DNA into a new molecule of mRNA, with the help of an enzyme RNA polymerase.
Z is Translation. It is the process in which genetic code on mRNA is decoded to produce the specific sequence of amino acids to form a polypeptide chain.
