Strike441 [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B. It was passed to the individual by a gamete from the father.

Explanation:

<u>DNA is transferred</u> to the next generation <u>via gametes</u>, which are produced during <u>meiosis</u>. During meiosis, <u>half of the genetic material</u> is <u>transferred</u> from parent cell to their gametes. Therefore, among the given options, only <u>B is correct</u>.

Option A is not correct because it talks about <u>somatic cells;</u> whereas, in somatic cells, <u>genetic material is not transferred half</u> rather duplicate first and then a complete duplicated set of genetic material is transferred.

Option C is also not correct because only <u>one gamete (sperm)</u> fertilizes the egg. Hence, not half of his cells descend from father gamete. Similarly, option D is also incorrect because it is not possible to descend half of the nuclei from the father to the offspring.

Diastole is the ________ phase of the cardiac cycle.
STatiana [176]
Diastole is the relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle. It is the normal rhythmic dilation of the heart's valves. During this time, the valves start to gather blood inside of their chambers. There are two types of diastole that occur in the heart, and they are:

1. Ventricular diastole - this is the period where the ventricles are filling and relaxing. 
2. Atrial diastole - the period in which the atria are relaxing. 

This is a continuous cycle that occurs in the heart the moment a person is conceived until the person meets his/her death.

Ivenika [448]
Cells are limited in size to maximize efficiency (accessing nutrients and getting rid of waste as well as decreasing the chances that information will become erred).
A cell with 2cm sides has a surface area of 2cm x 2cm x 6 = 24 cm^2
Volume would be 2cm x 2cm x 2cm = 8cm^3
Surface area : Volume = 24:8 or 3:1
A cell with a large volume will have more difficulty accessing nutrients and getting rid of waste quickly and transferring information that has no mistakes in it

Explanation:

Genetic material or Nuclear material can be found in the cell either  in "nucleus" a membrane bound organelles or found in the cytoplasm. This is the major difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell.

In prokaryotic cell the genetic material that is DNA, and RNA is not present in the nucleus as there is no body like nucleus for instance figure 2 and 3 whereas in eukaryotic organisms it is present in a nucleus like in figure 1 and 4.
