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.

Water diffuses into the skin via sweat ducts which alters the electrolyte balance. electrolytes can be salts like sodium and potassium. This alters the stability of neurons causing blood vessels to constrict therefore decreasing the amount of fluid in the fingers which would normally give the skin tension. The decrease causes wrinkles.

Which events take place in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
borishaifa [10]

The correct answer is : Light energy is captured by plants; light energy is converted to chemical energy.

In the process of photosynthesis, special pigment molecule called chlorophyll can capture the energy of the light, more specifically the photon. When a particle of light (a photon) with a specific energy reaches this pigment in the leaves of plants, the energy is transferred from the particle to the molecule, and the molecule becomes excited. This is the phase where the energy of the light is captured and transformed into chemical energy that can later be used to make sugars.

All of the later chemical processes that transfer the energy from the excited chlorophyll to the sugar molecules are not dependent on the light and can happen during the night as well.

IgorLugansk [536]

A fully formed infectious virus particle that is able to establish an infection in a host cell is often called VIRION. It is a fundamental full component of a virus.

<h3>What is a virion?</h3>

A virion can be defined as an entire virus composed of a surface (protein shell) which is called capsid, and the inside nucleic acid.

The core nucleic acid of a virion can be either DNA or RNA (both single and double-strand).

A virion may infect a particular host cell to produce disease.

TRUE/FALSE
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A double-helical DNA molecule consists of two DNA strands. A DNA strand has free 5' phosphate at one end and a free hydroxyl group (OH) at its 3' end. A DNA double helix is said to be antiparallel since each end of the double helix has an exposed 5' phosphate on one strand and a free 3' hydroxyl group (OH) on the other. This means that the two DNA strands run in opposite directions. A phosphate group is always esterified to the 5' carbon of the pentose sugar; never at its 3' end.

A student drew the diagram below to model the process of binary fission, which is a type of asexual reproduction.
Leno4ka [110]
The answer would be: <span>Binary fission involves a single parent cell, so there is only one set of genetic information that can be duplicated and passed on to the daughter cells.

If you see the picture, it is clear that there is only 1 parent involved in binary fission. This will exclude the first and third option. 
The genetic duplicated before splitting, so the cells should have an equal number of parent genetic material, not halves. This will exclude the second option.
