A. Gametes are the male and female reproductive cells (Sperm and Egg) While body cells make up all organs, Stem cells are undifferentiated cells in a multicellular organism and somatic cells are any cells in the body other than reproductive cells.

The answer is gametes. Mutations that occur in sex cells can be passed to new generations of the species.

3. Which of the following is a major functional characteristic of all organisms? (a) movement,
omeli [17]

Answer:

The correct option is E..all of these

Explanation:

This is because all living exhibit functional characteristics which are movement, respiration, nutrition, irritability, growth, excretion, respiration and death. This characteristics are indication that organisms are living things.

Growth: it is the increase in size of organisms. All living organisms grow, they increase in size , from zygote to adulthood.

Metabolism...all living organisms excreate, they absorb nutrients and remove unwanted waste products and undigested good like sweat, urine e.t.c.

Responsiveness....All living organisms respond to stimulus, they respond to external environment or change.

<span>AUTOTROPH 1. an organism that can make its own food

Plants like algae are autotrophs. They produce their own food with the use of light, carbon dioxide, water, and other chemicals that are vital in their food producing activity. Aside from plants, there are autotroph organisms. An example of this is phytoplanktons. 

CALVIN CYCLE 2. the dark reaction process of photosynthesis that uses carbon dioxide for the synthesis of carbohydrates

The Calvin Cycle has three phases. These are 1) carbon fixation, 2) reduction reactions, and 3) RuBP regeneration. 
This cycle occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast and it converts carbon dioxide and other chemical compounds into glucose.

CAROTENOID PIGMENT 3. a pigment ranging in color from yellow to red; helpful in capturing the Sun's light energy for use in photosynthesis

Carotenoid is a plant pigment. It produces yellow, orange, and red colors of many fruits and vegetables. Carotenoid pigment is identified as a class of phytonutrients that benefits human health. People who consumes carotenoid rich fruits and vegetables enjoys the antioxidant property of the food as well as the Vitamin A that some carotenoid convert into. 

CHLOROPHYLL 4. a green pigment in plants that serves to trap the Sun's energy for photosynthesis

Chlorophyll is the combination of two Greek words "chloros" and "phyllon" which means green and leaf respectively. This pigment also contributes to human wellness as consumption of plants rich in chlorophyll are proven to be very healthy. These health benefits are 1) helps fight cancer, 2) improves liver detoxification, 3) speeds up the healing of wounds, 4) improves digestion and helps control weight, and 5) protects skin from skin virus like cold sores.

CHLOROPLAST 5. the tiny body that contains chlorophyll; part of the cell in which photosynthesis takes place

Chloroplast is a type of plastid that can be distinguished from other plastids due to its green color. Chloroplast is the only plastid that contains chlorophylls a and b, thus its green color. 

PHOTOSYNTHESIS 6. a process that involves the use of carbon dioxide and water in the production of glucose and oxygen using the Sun's energy

RADIATION 7. transfer of heat or energy through rays of various wavelengths

</span><span>Radiation is defined as energy travelling through space. Sunshine or sunlight is an example of radiation. Its ultra violet rays radiates heat on the earths' surface which in turn helps our autotrophs undergo photosynthesis.

Imagine that a researcher is studying a population of nerve cells known as the neural crest. In mice, when these cells fail to f
Svetlanka [38]
<h2>Neural crest </h2>

Explanation:

The neural crest likely forms: neurons and glia of the peripheral nervous system

  • The neural crest are bilaterally paired strips of cells arising in the ectoderm at the margins of the neural tube
  • In the body region, neural crest cells also contribute the peripheral nervous system (both neurons and glia) consisting of sensory ganglia (dorsal root ganglia), sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia and neural plexuses within specific tissues/organs
  • The nervous system is made up of specialized cells which includes nerve cells (or neurons) and glial cells (or glia)
  • Neurons are the basic functional units of the nervous system, and they generate electrical signals called action potentials, which allow them to quickly transmit information over long distances
  • Glia are also essential to nervous system function, but they work mostly by supporting the neurons

Why is cloning embryonic stem cells a “holy grail” for scientists?
quester [9]

Answer:

The answer is D) It will allow scientists to make personalized medicine.

Explanation:

I used the context of the article where they stated "So for years, scientists have been trying to use cloning techniques to make embryonic stem cells that are essentially a genetic match for patients. The idea is that such a close match would prevent their bodies from rejecting the cells."
