The cells in a sexually reproducing organism's body may be classified as somatic, those that do not participate in reproduction, and gametogenic cells, which participate in reproduction.
Somatic cells create genetically identical daughter cells through the process of mitosis. Therefore, this mutation will pass the mutation to its two daughter cells after mitosis.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

unicellular - both prokaryotes and eukaryotes

contain mitochondrion - eukaryotes only

are generally less than 2 pm - Prokaryotes only

multicellular - eukaryotes only

lack membrane-bound organelles - prokaryotes only

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are generally unicellular, that is, they are made up of single cells only. However, there are unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes with some eukaryotes like humans and advanced plants having as many as millions of cells.

Prokaryotes generally lack nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles such as chloroplast and mitochondrion. Eukaryotes on the other hand have nucleus and membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondrion and chloroplast.

When it comes to size, prokaryotes are generally small and microscopic while eukaryotes consist of both microscopic and macroscopic cells or organisms. However, prokaryotes are generally smaller than microscopic eukaryotes.

netineya [11]

The blue-white screen refers to a procedure of screening that allows for the brisk and convenient determination of recombinant bacteria in vector-based molecular cloning experiments. In the process, the DNA of interest is ligated into a vector. The blue colonies constitute of self-relegated plasmids that are devoid of DNA inserts obstructing the lac Z gene.  

The white colonies contain bacteria that conduct plasmids, which possess the inserts of DNA fragments that obstruct the lac Z gene. Therefore, the researcher needs to sequence the plasmids of the white colonies prior to knowing which allele it constitutes.

Answer:

Omnivores

Explanation:

Humans have canine teeth and molars. Canine teeth are used to rip apart meat this is why you see other animals like wolfs and lions have really sharp teeth. Molars help grind down and chew plants, in our case fruits and vegetables. Since humans eat both meat and vegetables we are omnivores.
