"A man has a mutation in a mitochondrial gene encoding a subunit of the ATP synthase complex. The mutation leads to a defective
ATP synthase that is not able to synthesize ATP effectively, and this in turn, leads to extreme muscle weakness in the affected individual. If this man has children, what is the likelihood that they will inherit this disease from him?
Mitochondria is a cellular organelle that is used for the purpose of providing energy to the cell.
This cellular organelle has a special property that it has its own DNA and hence, the mitochondrial DNA is transmitted separately from the nuclear DNA, therefore any mutation arising in the mitochondrial DNA will only be inherited if the progeny receives the mitochondria with the mutated mitochondrial DNA.
Further, the mitochondrial inheritance in humans has a special property that only the mother transmits the organelle to the progeny.
Since in the given question the defect in the mitochondrial gene is in the father's mitochondria and in human beings the pattern of mitochondrial inheritance is such that only the mother transmit her mitochondria to the the progeny, the offspring of the man have 0% chance to inherit the defect.
Explanation: It is A because the television gives off light and sometimes that could heat up the tv and it is sound because obviously television makes sounds because of the volume :) hopefully that helps.
Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. You can remember this because even prokaryotic cells can do glycolysis so it must occur without a membrane bound organelle such as a mitochondrion.
It is known as a transgenic organism. This procedure is otherwise called "genetic engineering." Genes of one species can be altered, or qualities can be transplanted starting with one animal types then onto the next. Genetic engineering is made conceivable by recombinant DNA innovation. Living beings that have modified genomes are known as transgenic.
