A derived character refers to a particular character that is shared by members of a particular population. Genes are considered to be derived characters because THEY ARE TRANSFER FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION FROM PARENTS TO THEIR OFFSPRING. Genes are derived from the DNA molecule of the parents and these are passed to their offspring during the process of cell division in reproduction.

When the antibiotic valinomycin is added to actively respiring mitchondria, several things happen: the yield of ATP decreases, t
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- Uncoupler (ionophore)

Explanation:

Valinomycin is a antibiotic which uncouples the process of ATP synthesis and the electron transport chain.

The valinomycin decreases the yield of ATP synthesis by allowing the inward movement of the K⁺ ions across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This inward movement disrupts the proton gradient which decreases the yield of the ATP synthesis.

Also, the consumption of oxygen increases in the electron transport chain which generates heat during ATP synthesis.

Thus, Uncoupler (ionophore) is the correct answer.
