Zepler [3.9K]

Diatoms contain chloroplasts that have four membranes. These four membranes are evidence of secondary endosymbiosis (Option c).

<h3>What is secondary endosymbiosis?</h3>

Secondary endosymbiosis is a hypothesis used to explain why diatom chloroplasts have four membranes.

According to this hypothesis, diatoms received different genes from distinct photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic ancestors.

The acquisition of genes of different ancestors led to diatoms having chloroplasts with four membranes.

The sole of a gecko's foot is covered with millions and millions of small, dry "hairs" that make direct contact with surfaces, a
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: Van der Waals forces

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular forces that depend on the distance between two particles. They are caused by correlations in the change in polarization between two nearby particles. To put it in other words, when a particle changes its polarization (becomes more positive on one end and more negative on the other), so does the adjacent particle, and the next one, and so on. This causes these particles to stick together weakly.

The tiny "hairs" increase the surface area of the gecko's feet in contact with the wall, which makes the bond stronger and allows it to support all of its weight.

Because experiments have shown that geckos stick well to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, we can assume there aren't any hydrogen bonds present.

Ionic bonds can't be present either because geckos wouldn't stick to electrically neutral surfaces, as these bonds require charged molecules.

What information on a pedigree can tell you whether a gene is a autosome or a sex chromosome ???
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

What information on a pedigree can tell you whether a gene is on a autosome or not a sex chromosome? If in a pedigree, the occurrence of the disorder is 50/50 between females and males, then it shows that it is autosomal. If the disorder is mostly shown in males then it is a sex-linked trait.
