The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

A)nothing, the genetic variation will stay the same
B)the genetic variation will decrease
C)the genetic variation will increase
<span>D)this type of gene transfer is impossible in eukaryotes
</span>
I believe the correct answer is option C. If two eukaryotes participate in lateral gene transfer, then the  genetic variation will increase. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Complete the sentences to correctly describe steps in fatty acid synthesis. move the terms to the appropriate blanks. some terms
saw5 [17]

The synthesis of fatty acids starts with a preparatory step in which acetyl-CoA is mediated from mitochondria to the cytosol. However, it cannot pass through the membrane, so it is transported as citrate, which is cleaved to acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate.

In the cytosol, acetyl CoA is transformed to malonyl CoA, that is, a three carbon compound. Fatty acid synthesis starts with the conduction of acetyl group from acetyl CoA to fatty acid synthase.

Two carbon groups, supplied to malonyl CoA, are supplemented to the developing acyl chain in a series of steps involving condensation, reduction, and dehydration reactions. Elongation of the fatty acid chain ceases at 16 carbon atoms, after seven cycles, as the free free fatty acid is discharged.

How the structure of synapse ensures that impulses travel in one direction​
kogti [31]

Synapse

It carries information through electrical impulses to the cell body.

It is the gap between neurons.

It ensures that information travels in one direction only.

Explanation:

A synapse is the gap or the junction where two or more neurons or nerve cells meet together.  

Also called the synaptic cleft, the synaptic gap receives the electrical signals and passes them through one nerve cell to another

The axon nerve endings release neurotransmitters which ensure that the path of transmission of impulses is only unidirectional – only from presynaptic to postsynaptic path.  

The synaptic gap between a nerve cell and an effector muscle cell is referred as the neuromuscular junction.
