mylen [45]3 years ago

The nucleus is not the only source of DNA, besides it, DNA is also found in the mitochondria of all eukaryotic cells, as well as in the chloroplasts of plant cells and such DNA is called extrachromosomal DNA.

The DNA from the mitochondria (mtDNA) and chloroplasts are small and circular, which are similar to the prokaryotic DNA.

mtDNA contains its own genes that encode proteins that are part of the electron transport chain.

<span>Chloroplast DNA encodes for the components of the photosynthetic pathway.</span>

The surge in luteinizing hormone that occurs during the middle of the ovarian cycle triggers
avanturin [10]
<h2>Ovulation   </h2>

Explanation:

In women, luteinizing hormone carries out different roles in the two halves of the menstrual cycle

  • In week one to two of the cycle, luteinizing hormone is required to stimulate the ovarian follicles in the ovary to produce the female sex hormone, oestradiol
  • Around day 14 of the cycle, a surge in  luteinizing hormone levels causes the ovarian follicle to tear and release a mature oocyte (egg) from the ovary, a process called ovulation
  • For the remainder of the cycle (weeks three to four), the remnants of the ovarian follicle forms a corpus luteum
  • Luteinizing hormone stimulates the corpus luteum to produce progesterone, which is required to support the early stages of pregnancy, if fertilization occurs

Tresset [83]
Three nonpolar molecules that are used in everyday live are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and ethylene (C2H4).

Ethylene is used to make plastic and ripen fruits and methane is used to produce electricity and power garbage trucks. Besides its usage in the crucial processes of photosynthesis and cell respiration that keep us alive, carbon dioxide is important in refrigeration and is also found in fire extinguishers.

Hope this helps!

What is a single celled organism that have no nucleus and can either benefit or harm the body
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Bacteria

Explanation:

Bacteria have no true nucleus because it's a prokaryote. It couldn't have been a virus because all naturally occurring viruses are pathogenic unless treated by radiation.

We have two types of bacteria,

  1. Pathogenic
  2. Commensals

Pathogenic bacteria will definitely cause disease. Commensals, however, have don't harm us and have the ability to help us.

Eg: Flora (bacteria) in our intestines produce vitamin K and most of the vitamin B complex. They also compete with the pathogenic bacteria that you might've ingested and don't allow them to increase to the number that can cause disease.
