The sentence which is true or a fact about the virus is the sentence in letter B. Viruses can reproduce only within other cells. <span>Viruses are intracellular obligate parasites they can not replicate or express the genes with out living host. </span>
<span>viruses are acellular so they have to rely on host cellular machinery for reproduction. </span>
<span>viruses doesnot contain any enzymes for reproduction</span>
Cell Size, Presence of other cells, and Chemical Stimulators
<u>Answer</u>: Sperm cell
<u>Explanation</u>:
Amongst all the 4 options given, only the Sperm cell is a gamete (sex cell) while all the three are somatic cells.
- A <em>somatic</em> cell is the one which forms the body of an organism and contains all the genetic information.
- A <em>gamete</em> is the one which is required for the purpose of fertilization. A gamete of male fuses with the gamete of female in a process called fertilization to form a zygote to give rise to a new individual.
- A Sperm cell is basically a <em>male gamete.</em> It contains only half the amount of genetic information as the other half is contributed by the female gamete.
- This difference in the amount of genetic information arises due to the type of cell division that occurs. The somatic cells undergo mitosis whereas a gamete requires meiosis to occur for its formation.
- During mitosis there is a single round of cell division which divides the parent cell into two daughter cells each with the <em>complete genetic information</em>.
- During meiosis the cell undergoes two rounds of cell division such that a total lf 4 cells are produced each <em>with half the amount of genetic material </em>as present in the parent cell.
Since, <em>sperm is a male gamete and is formed by meiosis it contains only half the genetic information as compared to the other cells.</em>
As a greenhouse gas that absorbs heat, CO2 raises the temperature of the atmosphere. We refer to this as global warming. The glaciers will melt more quickly as the world's temperature rises, raising sea levels and bringing on disaster. More power is consumed for air conditioning as the temperature rises, which further raises the air's CO2 level.
Since coal is the primary fuel utilized in the creation of power. This creates a vicious cycle.
The answer is extrachromosomal, or cytoplasmic, inheritance,
or non-Mendelian inheritance. An example in humans is mitochondrion inheritance.
Mitochondria are only passed from mother to offspring since only the egg has mitochondria while sperm does not. The name of the German scientist who
discovered this type of inheritance was
called Carl Correns.
