Mitochondria are thought to be the descendants of certain alpha-proteobacteria. They are, however, no longer able to lead indepe

ndent lives because most genes originally present on their chromosome have moved to the nuclear genome. Which phenomenon accounts for the movement of these genes?
a. plasmolysis
b. conjugation
c. translation
d. endocytosis
e. horizontal gene transfer

Answer:

E) horizontal gene transfer

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer(HGT) is mainly seen in bacteria. Bacteria exchange their genetic material from the horizontal gene transfer method. There are three methods in HGT- conjugation, transduction, and transformation.

In conjugation, the bacteria exchange their plasmid through sex pilus. In transformation, bacteria take up other's genetic material from its environment and in transduction virus-mediated gene transfer occurs.  

Therefore in bacteria and nucleus, the genetic material exchange can occur only through HGT.

Select the correct answer.
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: Hey again!

Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Elemental form of carbon means the pure form of carbon, that is, carbon is present in its natural form.

An elemental form also means that the pure atoms are not attached to any other atom.

For example, diamond is an allotrope of carbon in which there are only carbon atoms attached to each other and no other atom is present in it.

Whereas methane has carbon and hydrogen atoms attached to each other therefore, it is not an elemental carbon. And proteins include different atoms attached to each other.

Thus, we can conclude that diamond is an example of elemental carbon.

Which factor does not greatly influence the rate of
jonny [76]

Answer:

a. transcription

Explanation:

<em>Sugar transport in phloem is referred to as pressure flow and it involves the movement of sugar through the phloem vascular tissue from the regions where sugar is synthesized (by photosynthesis) to other parts of the plant's body that require sugar.</em>

The parts of plants where sugar is synthesized (usually the leaf) is known as sugar source while the parts where they are transported is referred to as the source. Sources are usually areas of of high osmotic concentration and high water pressure while sinks are usually areas of low osmotic concentration and low water pressure.

<em>Hence, sugar transport in the phloem can be said to be influenced by the rate of sugar production at the source (rate of photosynthesis), turgor pressure as well as sugar concentration in sinks and sources.</em>

The only option that has no known effect on sugar transport in the phloem is transcription.

The correct option is a.
