The mitochondria within eukaryotic cells have their own genomes. Imagine that a mutation arises on the mitochondrial genome and,

at the time of cytokinesis of the host cell, 10% of the mitochondria in that cell have that mutation. In the two daughter cells, what percentage of the mitochondria will possess that mutation? A. Although the cytoplasm containing the mitochondria will be equally divided between the two cells, there is no precise mechanism for ensuring that the organelles are equally divided.B. One cannot accurately predict what the percentages will be in each cell.C. 50% eachD. A and B onlyE. None of the above

C) A and B only  is the right option.

Explanation:

During the process of cell division as mitosis or meiosis, the random segregation of mitochondria takes place in the resulting daughter cells

It is found that when cell divides, mitochondria present on the opposite side of the cell plate will have daughter cells that are different from the progenitor cell with respect to  mitochondria. Due to this reason, it is difficult to predict the percentage of mitochondrial mutation passed on.

Also, it is proved that only maternal cells are capable of passing the mitochondrial DNA.

32. Which of the following does NOT cause eutrophication?
Ksenya-84 [330]

RUNOFF OF OIL FROM ROADS

Eutrophication is a phenomenon used to describe an INCREASE in the concentration of nutrients in a particular aquatic area (lake) leading to the proliferation of plant or algae growth. Proliferation is majorly caused by the RUNOFF of substances containing these nutrients into a water body.

According to this question, eutrophication can be caused by the following:

- Runoff of manure from farms: Manure contains nutrients that can cause an increase plant/algae growth.

- Runoff of fertilizers from neighborhood: Fertilizer contains certain elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium etc. that serves as source of nutrients for aquatic organisms.

- Excessive nutrients: Too much of nutrients lead to uncontrollable growth.

Among these options, runoff of oil from road is NOT a cause of eutrophication because OIL inhibits growth rather than induce it.

What adaptations of the wild yak enable it to survive in the alpine biome?
elixir [45]

The alpine biome is one of the coldest biomes on the planet, it is generally because of the high altitudes. The summer temperature varies in between -12 to 10 degree Celsius, and the average precipitation in the biome is about 30 cm in a year.  

The animals living in the region, adapt to the cold by migrating to warmer regions, hibernating, or insulating their bodies with the help of fat and fur layers. Their bodies seem to possess shorter tails, legs, and ears, in order to minimize the loss of heat.  

One of the animals living in the alpine biome is the wild yak, the animal has adapted to the biome with the help of dense and wooly coats, specially amended feet, horns to dig for food, and if necessary does the migration in winter times to the warmer regions.
