The answer is; E
This shows that these organelles were once free-living organisms with their own mechanisms for reproduction which they have retained even after years of symbiotic relationship with the higher organisms. During their duplication, they also replicate their own DNA. Their DNA does not have histones (as opposed to the DNA in the nucleus of their host eukaryotic cell) similar to that of simple organisms such as bacteria.
A Convex Lens is the type of lens used in magnifying glasses.
Answer:
Modified apocrine sweat glands
Explanation:
The ceruminous glands are similar to sebaceous glands, belonging to the group of sweat glands. These glands secrete a sticky material, the ear wax, that protects the thin skin lining the ear canal.
As soon as a dust, dirt or an insect enters the ear canal at the beginning of the ear wax, the wax retains, wraps and pushes it outside the ear canal.
This secretion is lubricating as well as acidic, which helps to kill potentially harmful bacteria and fungi in the ears.
Answer:
0%
Explanation:
This question involves a gene coding for height in pea plants. The allele for tallness (T) is dominant over the allele for shortness (t). This means that allele T will be expressed over allele t in an heterozygous state.
A purebred tall plant will possess genotype: TT while a heterozygous tall plant will possess genotype: Tt. The two parents will produce the following gametes:
TT- T and T
Tt- T and t
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following offsprings with genotypes: TT and Tt in a ratio 1:1 will be produced.
TT offsprings are purebreed tall while Tt offsprings are heterozygous tall. Hence, based on the question, no offsprings of this cross will possess the recessive genotype (tt). This means that 0% of the offsprings of this cross will be short.
Answer:
cell wall
Explanation:
the cell wall helps fighting any bacteria that tries to infect the cell itself.
