4 0

Answer:
A Swedish naturalist, Carolus Linnaeus also known as father of taxonomy because he developed a way to name and organize species which is still used in modern system of classification. In 1753 he proposed three kingdom system of classification which was published in Systema Naturae.
Contributions:
His two important contributions were:
1. A hierarchical classification system
 2. The system of binomial nomenclature.
Need of classification:
At that time different local names were given to a single species in different languages. So it was difficult for people or scientists to remember the names. He proposed a binomial nomenclature system, in which scientific name was assigned to each organism which was based on species and generic part. It help in identifying an organism by single name through out the world.

What is the major difference between bacterial chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes?.

The major difference between bacterial chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes is Bacteria have a single circular chromosome whereas eukaryotes have several linear chromosomes.

What is a bacterial chromosome called?

Bacterial chromosome is called nucleoid. It is an irregularly shaped and contains genetic material. It is also called as genophore.

What is meant by eukaryotic chromosome?

Eukaryotic chromosomes are found in the cell's nucleus.
The DNA inside the nucleus is organized into chromosomes. At the most basic level, a chromosome is a molecule of DNA that is tightly coiled around proteins called histones.

What is the difference between bacterial and human chromosome?

Bacterial chromosomes are circular in contrast to human chromosomes, which are linear.
Furthermore, bacterial circular chromosomes are found in the nucleoid area rather than the nucleus, an organelle that is membrane-bound.

Does DNA undergoes translation to produce proteins . RNA undergoes mutation to produce cell walls

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

2. Yes

Explanation:

This is because DNA undergo transcription to produce RNA and RNA undergo translation to produce protein. Translation is the process where mRNA molecule is used as a template to produce protein.

RNA undergo mutation more than DNA and this is because the enzymes found in RNA viruses and participate in copying viral genomes is why it occur so. These enzymes does not have the abilities to recognize DNA damage that enzymes in most organisms have.
