Answer:

The answer is B. They have highly folded membranes.

Explanation:

A highly folded structure is advantageous for microscopic organelles such as the mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. These organelles need to produce high amounts of ATP and proteins in a day, respectively.

For the endoplasmic reticulum, with ribosomes attached, it is responsible for the manufacturing, packaging, and transport of specific proteins. Same goes for the mitochondria, which is responsible for energy production and respiration. These processes are so demanding that in order to be more efficient in being productive, the highly folded membranes provide a wider and better surface area for synthesis of proteins or ATP, despite the size of these organelles.

What is G-banding? What regions of the chromosome (e.g.base composition, condensed or open, early or late replicating) are stain
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

G-banding or Giemsa banding is a technique used to study the chromosomes by staining then at condensed stage. The visible karyotype can be used by this technique. The genetic diseases can be easily identified by this G banding technique.

The base composition of the genes (nucleotide) are stained by the dye known as Giemsa stain. The nitrogenous base adenine and thymine of the heterochromatic region of chromosome stained darkly in this technique. The darkly stained area is generally gene poor area.
