Spontaneous generation is the belief that there is a form of creation of a living organism that just happens or can occur from an inanimate or dead object. Although disproved, some people still debate it today. The importance of it in relation to the scientific community and cell theory is one that provides guidance for adhering to the most rigid of standards in order to be actually considered scientific and that observation alone is not credible. It could be related to cell theory by suggesting the conversion of one type of cells to another spontaneously, which would be impossible as we now know without the intervention of another living organism like bacteria. The cellular level of these living organisms being incredibly small.

Which best describes a gene
motikmotik

Answer;

a segment of chromosomal DNA

Explanation;

A gene is a  hereditary unit consisting of a sequence of DNA that occupies a specific location on a chromosome and determines a particular characteristic in an organism. Genes undergo mutation when their DNA sequence changes.

It is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins.  However, many genes do not code for proteins.

Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The correct answer is C eukaryotes have a greater variety of genetic material than prokaryotes.

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells consist of single chromosome and their DNA is present in a dense region called nucleoid.As one copy of each gene is present in the chromosome prokaryotic cells are haploid.The DNA of prokaryotic cells are circular

 Whereas eukaryotic DNA is linear and multiple distinct chromosomes are present in eukaryotes.Two copies of each chromosome are present are in many eukaryotic cells.As a result the eukaryotic cells are diploid in nature.

   Due to this greater variety of genetic material the domain eukarya are more complex than archea and or bacteria domains.

How is the cytoplasm divided between the two cells that result from mitosis in plant cells? In animal cells?​
Degger [83]

Answer:

The contractile ring shrinks through the center of the cell, evenly dividing the cytoplasm between the two halves. This indicates that cytokinesis is completed and the cell has been replicated.
