Answer:

e. Mitochondrial

Explanation:

  • This is a case of mitochondrial heredity so correct answer is e. Mitochondrial
  • In this case, the mother transfers her mitochondria to her children. So the child is affected. The male does not pass this trait on to his children.
  • We can see from the lineage that the mother has defective mitochondria so all their children will have defective mitochondria. One of his sons has mitochondrial, but is unable to pass it on to the next generation.

STatiana [176]

How is the mass number calculated for an element? A. The difference between the mass and the protons B. There is no calculation.
Nana76 [90]

The best answer is D.

The mass number of an element is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons. Protons and neutrons both weigh about one atomic mass unit or amu.

The nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and neutrons. Both these two types of particles are almost the same size.  Almost all the mass of an atom (99%) is in the nucleus. Atomic mass therefore is really a measure of the size of the nucleus.

Why cell size remain small even though organism size is large
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Cell size is limited by a cell's surface area to volume ratio. A smaller cell is more effective and transporting materials, including waste products, than a larger cell. Cells come in many different shapes. A cell's function is determined, in part, by its shape.
