The right answer is C. sex cells.

Like all cells, a somatic cell can mutate.

* A somatic mutation, if it is "viable" (if it does not kill the cell, organ or organism that carries it), and if it is not controlled by the body (apoptosis, confinement of the mutated cell) can give rise to new identical cell lines, thus carrying the same mutation.

* In so-called evolved animals (which can not clone naturally), this mutation affects only the organ or the organism concerned, but will not be transmitted to the offspring of the individual.

Inga [223]

Answer: Option 4.

The fresh water is hypotonic and the salt solution is Hypertonic.

Explanation:

Hypotonic solution is a solution that have little dissolved solutes i.e low osmotic pressure compare to other solution. When a cell is put in hypotonic solution, it take in water and the cell swell up and it does not burst due to it's cell wall thereby becoming turgid or hard.

Hypertonic solution is the solution where the concentration of solute is higher outside the cell than inside the cell. Example is saline water.when a cell is placed in Hypertonic solution it will shrinks because it losses water.

Isolating all of the RNA out of an organism, subjecting it to reverse transcriptase, and then cloning all of the resulting DNA i
Lisa [10]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

The example process given in the question is describing the creating of a cDNA Library. cDNA or Complimentary DNA is copy of the DNA that is taken from a messenger RNA (mRNA), which is what is done with the reverse transcriptase. And the process described as cloning the resulting DNA into plasmids is the part where the library is created. The resulting DNA is put into host organisms and stored there for further investigation or use.

I hope this answer helps.

Why are both mitosis and meiosis important in passing on information from one generation to the next?
nignag [31]
Mitosis makes copies of the host, so it is a good option to increase the population because it is a fast process. Meiosis is important to create genetic diversity, because it makes four genetically different haploid cells, instead of two genetically identical diploid cells, as mitosis does.
