Answer:
c. to account for two major and distinct prokaryotic groups in addition to eukaryotes.
Explanation:
Microbiologist Carl Woese compared the ribosomal RNA sequence of the small subunit of RNA. Various organisms have structurally different small subunit of the ribosomes. According to Woese the molecular composition of rRNA in closely related organisms should be more similar than in distantly related organisms. He analyzed the 16S rRNA of various organisms and observed that there are two distinct groups of prokaryotes. He divided the prokaryotes among two domains: Bacteria and Archaea. He placed all the eukaryotes in the domain Eukarya.
Answer:
In mendelian inheritance, the alleles for a gene show normal dominant-recessive relationship. Chromosomes also show crossover due to which new random combination of traits is possible in the offspring. This crossover takes place between homologous chromosomes during meiosis I.
Organellar DNA like the ones present in mitochondria and chloroplast do not follow mendelian inheritance because unlike nuclear chromosomes they do not have cross over events. There is no orderly segregation of alleles during meiosis. Traits controlled by them are usually inherited as it is and usually it is from the maternal parent because paternal gamete like sperm does not contain mitochondria.
Answer:
Gametophyte
Explanation:
This is is the dominant phase of moses (division bryophyte) and other lower plants such as pteridophytes and liverworts. The gametophytes produce haploid spores. When two diploid spores fuse into a zygote, it grows into a sporophyte, usually attached to a gametophyte, because it depends on it for water and nutrient. The sporophyte then produces haploid spores that give rise to gametophytes. The diploid phase is significant because it gives opportunity for recombination of genes which provides genetic variation among the moss.
