The portion of a sperm cell that contains digestive enzymes for penetrating he egg is called the acrosome.
I hope this helps.
Transposable elements are considered to be responsible for vast range of genome diversity and gene silencing.
Explanation:
Transposable elements are short sequences of DNA that have the ability to move from one location to another in the genome. During this process they copy themselves.
The entire process carried out by transposable elements to copy themselves and move from one location to another is called transposition.
Transposition may result in mutation and is potentially a major source of genome diversity and change. If a transposon inserts itself into the coding region of a gene,it interrupts the coding sequence and inactivates the gene expression.
In addition to this, a transposable element may contain transcription or translation termination signal that will block the gene expression downstream of insertion site.
Normal, clean rain has a pH value of between 5.0 and 5.5, which is slightly acidic. However, when rain combines with sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides—produced from power plants and automobiles—the rain becomes much more acidic. Typical acid rain has a pH value of 4.0.
Answer:
Hydrolysis
Explanation:
Hydrolysis is a reaction that needs water to breakdown macromolecules into simpler units.
Macromolecules are giant polymers made up of several repeating monomeric units.
- These units are too complex for the body to digest and derive nutritional benefits from them.
- During hydrolysis, the complex is broken down into monomers.
- The monomeric units are absorbable and useful for the body.
Water would move from outside to the inside of the cell through the semi permeable cell membrane and cause the cell to swell.
