The virophages require a bigger virus to double themselves known as the host-virus. They are devoid of the genes for proteins required to double themselves and are always smaller in comparison to archaea and bacteria. On the other hand, in viruses, the genetic information can be in the form of RNA or DNA.  

Both the virophages and viruses possess a protein capsid enveloping their nucleic acid. Both the forms do not belong to any of the three domains, and they cannot replicate on their own. Neither the virophages nor the viruses produce energy via mitochondria.

What would need to happen for copper not to not exsist anymore.
san4es73 [151]

Electricity could be discovered using batteries based on zinc or lead, but without copper wiring it would remain little more than a scientific curiosity. Electric motors and generators require large amount of wiring, so they are impossible to build on large scale in this world

Each orientation of chromosomes produces gametes with the same genetic information from each parent.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: a) true

Explanation:

The goal of mitosis is to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the mother cell, without a single extra or missing chromosome. Meiosis, on the other hand, is only used for one purpose in the human body: the production of gametes or sex cells, i.e. sperm and eggs. The question is oriented to mitosis, <u>in which prior to this cell division, the cell duplicates its DNA</u> so that each daughter cell then inherits the genetic material. That is, the cell originally possesses 23 chromosomes, they duplicate to a total of 46 so that then each daughter cell receives 23.

The metaphase is the second phase of mitosis and meiosis that occurs after prophase where the envelope is lost and microtubules of the achromatic spindle (also called meiotic or mitotic) appear.

During metaphase, the chromosomes align themselves in the middle of the cell and this balanced midline spindle alignment is due to the equal and opposing forces generated by the kinetochore brothers.

Then during metaphase, the chromosomes will line up in the center of the cell to be separated and go each to a different daughter cell. But the moment they're found there, each orientation of chromosomes produces gametes with the same genetic information from each parent. <u>Because because there have been no changes or mutations in the chromosomes, they have duplicated and have the same genetic information.</u>

cell organelles In this lab, you will try to view as many cell organelles as you can at different magnification levels. Write an
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

What is the effect of power/magnification on the frequency and size of organelles under a microscope?

Explanation:

Organelles within the cell are responsible for carrying out various functions. Some cells are more specialized than others, and may have particular organelles at a higher frequency, or showing a variation in size; sub-cellular structures become more visible at higher magnifications under the microscope.

Hypotheses:

  • organelle A's frequency decreases while B's frequency increases at higher magnifications
  • organelle A's size increases while B's size decreases at higher magnifications

<em />

<em>Dependent variables: size and frequency cell organelles</em>

<em>Independent variable:  power/magnification at low (x4), medium(x10) and high  (x40)</em>

<em>Controlled variables: Type of organelles, microscope used, cell examined, </em>

Method:

1. Examine the organelles A and B in a cell mounted on a slide; use the fine adjustment to focus on the cell.

  • Frequency:  What is the average number of organelle A versus B, seen at low (x4), medium (x10) and high (x40) magnifications?
  • Size: Measure the average diameter of organelle A versus B using an ocular micrometer at low, medium and high magnification.

2. Record and tabulate observations.

Infer: How might the size of a group affect its defense?
uysha [10]
I don't know exactly what you mean but the size of a group affects its defense because there is a larger group. Therefore, more people would be protecting it, adding more to its defense.
