Think where mitochondria are found in the greatest numbers - they are found (for example) in liver cells, kidney cells, muscle cells etc. These tissues carry out a lot of work and thus require lots of energy. 

<span>Fat is a storage product that sits there until required but the thyroid does lots of work involved in metabolism and therefore requires plenty of energy.


This should help :)

Which of the following processes occurs in eukaryotic gene expression?RNA polymerase requires tRNA to elongate the molecule.mRNA
nignag [31]

Answer:

A cap is added to the 5 end of the mRNA

Explanation:

In prokaryotes, the translation process takes place simultaneously with the transcription but the mRNA molecule after synthesis undergoes some post-translation modification which protects the mRNA from the cytosolic environment.

One of these modifications is known as capping which refers to the addition of the cap at 5' end of the mRNA. This cap is added by an enzyme called guanyl transferease and protects the end of the mRNA.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

Under what condition would a mutation have the most impact on allele frequency
slavikrds [6]
I think this happens when there is no gene flow or when the population is small. Small population, germ line mutation, beneficial mutation that gets into many progeny and is of  high chance of luck. Genetic drift involves a process in which allele frequencies within a population change by chance only, as a result of sampling error from generation to generation. Genetic drift occurs mostly in small population since the infrequently occurring alleles face a greater chance of being lost.
