Answer:

C. Genetic material composed of nucleic acid

Explanation:

The information needed by every organism to perform life functions like reproduction, growth etc are held in the genetic material that the organism carries in its genome. Every genetic material of organisms is composed of nucleic acids, which are only two in nature i.e. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This is a common feature of all organisms including bacteria and viruses that they contain genetic material which must be in form of a nucleic acid.

The viruses do not undergo a cell division, neither do they contain protein synthesis structures called Ribosomes because they do not have the ability to reproduce or perform any living process outside a living host cell. This means that they strictly depend on another organism's transcriptional, translational, replicational ability to survive.

All variations within organisms can be explained by the known principles of genetics. True or False
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The statement is true.

Explanation:

Genetics is responsible for studying the way in which the characteristics of living organisms, whether morphological, physiological, biochemical or behavioral, are transmitted, generated and expressed, from one generation to another, under different environmental conditions, that is, try to explain how the characteristics of living beings are inherited and modified, which can be in shape (the height of a plant, the color of its seeds, the shape of the flower...), physiological (for example, the constitution of certain protein that performs a specific function within the body of an animal), and even behavior (in the form of courtship before mating in certain groups of birds, or the way of mating of mammals, among others). In this way, the principles of genetics tries to study how these characteristics pass to generation after generation, and why, in turn, they vary generation after other.

1. Which of the following statements are true?
hammer [34]

Your answers would be:

1. ---- B. A cell cannot be subdivided into smaller units that maintain the living state.

2. ---- The organism is a eukaryote because it has a nucleus.

3. ---- D. Water would flow into them because they are hypertonic to external environment.

If you want to know why:

1. The cell is the basic unit of life or in other words, its the smallest unit that makes up a living thing. It does not subdivided further if you are talking about sustaining life. Yes, it is made up of smaller units of organelles, but these organelles work together as a single unit (as a cell), to do life sustaining processes.

2. The organism is a eukaryote because of the presence of a nucleus. This is one of the main features of a eukaryote that differentiates it from a prokaryote. Prokaryotes to not have a true nucleus.

3. Water would flow into them, causing the cell to swell and eventually burst if the concentration of solutes would not even out before then. The process of osmosis is what brings the water into the cell. The cell would have a higher solute concentration than freshwater. Through osmosis, the water would then go to the area of higher concentration, which would be the cell.
