Answer:

The correct answer is 3. Endosymbiotes

Explanation:

According to the endosymbiotic theory, mitochondria was a prokaryotic organelle which was engulfed by ancestral cell. Then this bacteria remain in a symbiotic relationship with ancestral cell and evolved in mitochondria which can synthesize ATP and replicated its own genome, able to duplicate and divide.

So mitochondria are considered as endosymbiotes which means they are organism which lives inside others body and cannot live or function on their own. This theory is supported by genetic evidence that shows similarities between mitochondria and bacteria. So the correct answer is 3.

The following pedigree tracks sickle cell disease through three generations of a family. Use the pedigree to answer the followin
kompoz [17]

Answer:

See the answer with the explanation below.

Explanation:

Assuming the allele for sickle cell disease is represented by S and the alternate, non-sickle cell version is A; AA would be <em>homozygous normal</em>, AS would be <em>heterozygous normal</em>, and SS would be a <em>sickler</em>.

a. <em>The genotype of the father in the first generation would be </em><em>AS</em>.

The father is heterozygous, since the mother is affected and the couple produced an affected child. The cross can be illustrated thus:

AS (father)   x   SS (mother) = AS, AS, SS, SS

b. <em>The genotype of the daughter in the second generation would be </em><em>SS</em><em> </em>since she is phenotypically affected for the disease.

c. <em>The genotype of individual 3 in the second generation would be heterozygous, </em><em>AS</em>.

The cross between the the heterozygous normal father and the sickler mother can only produce one of heterozygous normal individuals or sickle cell diseased individuals. Hence, individual 3 has to be heterozygous since he appeared phenotypically normal in the pedigree.

Bacteria are surrounded by?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Structurally, a typical bacterium usually consists of (1) a cytoplasmic membrane surrounded by a peptidoglycan cell wall and maybe an outer membrane, (2) a fluid cytoplasm containing a nuclear region (nucleoid) and numerous ribosomes; and (3) often various external structures such as a glycocalyx, flagella, and pili.
