Answer:

D. Mitochondria are large enough to be seen with modern light microscopy, and can occupy as much as 20% of cytoplasmic volume.

Explanation:

Mitochondria are oval shaped organelles responsible for cellular respiration.

One of their defining characteristics

is the influx of protons from the mitochondrial membrane that enables ATP synthesis.

Mitochondria are known as the power house of the cell.

Structurally, mitochondria are spherocylindrical with a length of 2 microns and a diameter of 1 micron.

Many genetic technologies involve the transferring of genes from one organism to another. For example, a gene in human DNA codes
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The universality of genetic code.

Explanation:

The DNA is a molecule made up from 4 different nucleotides (A, T, C or G). The sequence in which these nucleotides are ordered constitute a code that gives a cell instructions to produce a specific protein. This is called the genetic code.

Every three nucleotides code for a specific amino acid. For example, ACG codes for Arginine, CUC codes for Proline, and so on.

The genetic code is universal. This means that in all living organisms, a particular sequence of three nucleotides will code for the same amino acid. This property guarantees that the human gene that codes for human insulin will also code for human insulin in bacteria.

___ has the greatest influence on the resting membrane potential
Svetach [21]
Potassium has the greatest influence on the resting membrane potential. Resting membrane potential is caused by the differences in the concentrations of ions inside and outside the cell. At resting membrane potential there are more sodium ions outside the neuron and more potassium ions inside the neuron. For a neuron the resting membrane potential is about -70 mV.
