<span>A. The DNA in mitochondria is passed from mother to child in the nucleus of a cell.</span><span>

A benefit of genetic engineering is the production of valuable proteins that have helped in managing of illness in human beings. Bacteria were genetically engineered to produce proteins of medical importance. One example of such a protein is human insulin which is given the name humulin and is made using E. coli bacteria.</span>Earlier,  insulin from pig cells was used to treat patients with diabetes but many of them could not tolerate it because it has a slightly different arrangement of amino acids from that of humans and so the human body rejects it. Humulin is tolerated by the human body and so many patients are now using it to lead normal lives.

The identification of an individual by the means of genetic engineering is possible because the Y chromosomes in the males does not experience any crossing-over as there is only a single Y chromosome present in a human male.

The mitochondrial DNA is passed from the mother to child in the cytoplasm of the cell, and it is passed on without any changes. The X chromosome is can be passed from a mother to her son as he will receive Y chromosome from his father.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option B - The Y chromosome does not experience crossing over'.

Lyrx [107]
The answer is chloroplasts and mitochondria.

<span>When solar energy in the form of sunlight reaches a leaf of a plant, it passes through the leaf to chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain pigment chlorophyll which is excited by light. As the result, </span>a series of chemical reactions occur in the chloroplasts and carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose and oxygen. Now, glucose is broken down and transported into mitochondria where through different processes (Krebs cycle and electron transport chain) energy is produced in the form of ATP.<span>

Unicellular definition- A unicellular organism, also known as a single-celled organism, is an organism that consists of a single cell, unlike a multicellular organism that consists of multiple cells. In contrast, even the simplest multicellular organisms have cells that depend on each other to survive.

Multicellular definition- Multicellular organisms are organisms that consist of more than one cell, in contrast to unicellular organisms.

Prokaryote definition- A microscopic single-celled organism which has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles, including the bacteria and cyanobacteria. In a few organisms called prokaryotes, there is no defined nucleus and the DNA is found throughout the cell.

Eukaryote definition- A eukaryote is an organism whose cells contain a nucleus within a membrane. Eukaryotes vary from single-celled organisms to complex multicellular animals and plants. In fact, most living things are eukaryotes, made up of cells with distinct nuclei and chromosomes that contain their DNA.

Autotroph definition- An organism capable of synthesizing its own food from inorganic substances, using light or chemical energy. Green plants, algae, and certain bacteria are autotrophs.

Heterotroph definition- A heterotroph is an organism that cannot manufacture its own food by carbon fixation and therefore derives its intake of nutrition from other sources of organic carbon, mainly plant or animal matter. In the food chain, heterotrophs are secondary and tertiary consumers.
