The correct answer is option (A) Prokaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.

Cells are classified into prokaryotes and eukaryotes based on the presence of nucleus and membrane- bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells are the primitive cells that lack a well defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. The genetic material is in the central region of the cell called the nucleoid. They include the bacteria and the archaea. Eukaryotic cells are the cells which have a true nucleus or a well defined nucleus and all the membrane bound organelles. They include the protists, fungi, plants and animals.

Prokaryotic cells also possess a cell wall, viruses are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes and bacteria are prokaryotic. Hence the basic difference between the prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells is that the prokaryotic cell do not have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Describe the view if you were to stand in the umbra of a lunar eclipse.
dlinn [17]

During a solar eclipse, when the Moon's shadow falls on the Earth, we stand in the shadow rather than looking at it. Observers standing in the umbra see a total eclipse of the Sun, while observers under the penumbra see a partial eclipse.

How many nucleotide bases differ between your sample (labeled as O. Kisutch) and the standard sequence for O. Kisutch? Sample la
OverLord2011 [107]

The right answer is 3 nucleotide bases.

5'-CGGCACCGCCCTAAGTCTCT-3'

5'-AGGCACCGCCCTAAGTCTAC-3'

It would be necessary first to align the two sequences side by side so as to be able to compare them, and they should also be in the same direction.

The nucleotides marked in bold are the nucleotides that differ between standard and O. Kisutch.

These nucleotide changes are necessarily due to substitution mutations that exchanged one nucleotide for another in the same location.

Explain the concept of “natural selection” and what it really means. Specifically what actually causes the natural selection and
katrin [286]

Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment and are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.

Hope this helps :))
