Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is D) Passing of traits from parents to children.

Heredity can be defined as the passing of traits from one generation to the next generation. These traits can be the mental or physical characteristics of the parent. The traits are passed to the offsprings in the form of genetic material, which is DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) in most of the life forms.

Example- The genes ( segment of DNA, which code for specific proteins) for green eyes are passed from parent to child. This gives green eye color to the child.

Thus, the correct answer is Heredity refers to the passing of traits from parents to children

g Imagine two different sigma factors with different promoter recognition sequences. What would happen to the overall gene expre
tangare [24]

Answer:

Transcription is affected via the modulation of the concentrations of the different types of holoenzymes, so saturated promoters are only weakly affected by sigma factor competition. However, in case of overlapping promoters or promoters recognized by two types of sigma factors, we find that even saturated promoters are strongly affected. Active transcription effectively lowers the affinity between the sigma factor driving it and the core RNAP, resulting in complex cross-talk effects. Sigma factor competition is not strongly affected by non-specific binding of core RNAPs, sigma factors and holoenzymes to DNA. Finally, we analyze the role of increased core RNAP availability upon the shut-down of ribosomal RNA transcription during the stringent response. We find that passive up-regulation of alternative sigma-dependent transcription is not only possible, but also displays hypersensitivity based on the sigma factor competition.

Which property below is shared by both carbohydrates and lipids?
Marina86 [1]
We are asked to determined which of the following choices above will be the correct shared property of a lipid and carbohydrate. To know the answer we must evaluate each of the choices.
a. Both have the same number of oxygen atoms 
- This is incorrect. Oxygen atoms of carbohydrate and lipids are different since 
lipid are usually unsaturated.
b. Both are sources of cellular energy.
- Carbohydrates is the main energy source of human body while lipids are the standby energy source when all the carbohydrates are consumed in the body.
c.Both are dissolvable in water.
-This is incorrect. Lipids are non-polar while water is polar. Like dissolves Like.
d. Both have the same proportion of carbon-hydrogen atoms
-This is incorrect since Lipids are usually double bonded atoms. thus it contain lesser amount of carbon compared to carbohydrate.

Therefore, the correct answer to this is letter B. Both are sources of cellular energy.

The endosymbiont theory proposes that eukaryotes evolved from a symbiosis between a prokaryote and a protocell.
kogti [31]
<span>a. True

</span><span>As many researchers hypothesize that the old single-celled organism or the origin of the complex-celled organisms came from the endosymbiosis of the mitochrondrion organism and the prokaryotic cell. It has been said that mitochondria was an independent organism which then to have been evovled itself after planting itself inside a prokaryotic cell which aided cellular respiration and production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). This then aided the prokaryotic cell to be more sophisticated and caused another change from having without a true nucleus to a eukaryotic cell with a nucleus and embedded DNA.  </span>
