Answer:

The correct answer will be: are the largest of the four main biological                    macromolecules, consist of DNA and RNA and whether an organism is a bacterium, tree, mouse, or human.

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are the macromolecules which act as genetic material of organisms.Two types of nucleic acids-DNA and RNA act as genetic material.

The structure of these nucleic acids are long chains formed by the bonding of nucleotide units. These nucleotides are made up of 5-C sugar, phosphate and nitrogenous base which make up the long chains of molecule and forms one of the largest biological macromolecule.

The order of nitrogenous bases (adenine,guanine, cytosine, thymine) in the functional part of DNA also called genes decides the fate of cell as they code for proteins. The sequence of these bases in genes is highly conserved among organisms giving uniqueness to the organism but the variation in the sequence of DNA or nitrogenous bases leads to the formation of new organism or new species.

Thus, these options are the correct answer.

Which discovery supported the endosymbiotic theory?
alexdok [17]

The right answer is A.) DNA in mitochondria .

Eukaryotic cells, with their many intracellular organelles, have long been considered progeny of prokaryotes that would have become more complex as a result of genetic mutations. But from the 1960s, biologist Lynn Margulis proposed an alternative explanation that was first received coldly by the scientific community. His endosymbiotic theory, proposed in a more formal way in a 1981 book, proposes that eukaryotic cells as we know them today would be the result of a series of symbiotic associations with different prokaryotes.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts also have their own DNA that is not trapped in a nucleus, which is also the case with prokaryotes. However, the proteins encoded by this DNA do not cover all mitochondrial proteins. The prokaryote is thought to have lost some genes to the nucleus of the cell, a process known as "endosymbiotic gene transfer". For this reason, mitochondria and chloroplasts are now host-dependent for the synthesis of most of their components.

Desity can often be used to help determin the identity for a substance ​
sp2606 [1]
Density can be useful in identifying substances. It is also a convenient property because it provides a link (or conversion factor) between the mass and the volume of a substance. Mass and volume are extensive (or extrinsic) properties of matter - they depend on amount.
