Answer:

The correct answer is: D. a piece of non-coding DNA consisting of 2–5 repeating sequences of base pairs.

Explanation:

STRs, abbreviated from Short Tandem Repeat, are microsatellites: sequences of non-coding DNA that repeat units that are 2 to 5 base pairs in length. The number of repetitions of these sequences <u>varies from people to people</u>, which gives it a significant importance in the fields of forensics, where is used to identify a person.

<u>Non-coding DNA is a sequence that will not translate into any protein.</u> Half of our DNA is made of non-coding DNA.

Answer:

a) i) Xylem

   ii) Upper epidermis  

   iii) Stoma

   iv) Chroloplast  

   v) Palisade cell layer

b) By a waxy layer on the cuticle of the leaf

Explanation:

The plant's leaves have a large surface area that is capable of absorbing sunlight. The plant's waxy layer in the surface of the leaf protects it from the loss of water, as well as of diseases caused by the entry of microorganisms. The palisade cell's surface is a single layer of cells underneath the upper epidermis that is adapted to absorb light energy.

The waxy layer is a primary physical barrier composed of insoluble polymers and lipids whose function is to protect the leaves against the entry of harmful organisms including virus, bacteria and fungus. Moreover, the plant's waxy cuticle is also a barrier that prevents the loss of water and solutes.

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are both involved in energy conversion in cells. Select the other similarity they share. Question
Afina-wow [57]

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are similar in the sense that they both contain DNA.

MITOCHONDRIA AND CHLOROPLAST:

  • Mitochondria is a membrane bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria is the energy production site of cells because it is where cellular respiration takes place.

  • Chloroplast is another membrane-bound organelle in eukaryotic cells. They are the site of photosynthesis in plants.

  • Mitochondria and chloroplast are both involved in energy conversion in cells because electron transport chain occurs in both organelles.

  • However, another similarity between these two organelles is that they contain extra-chromosomal DNA.
