Answer: They cannot serve as a template for replication


Protein has ability to catalyze reaction which make it much faster than it should be. But protein help reaction that made other product, not reaction that create the same molecule as  itself. It was DNA that capable to made a replication of itself which was the vital feature needed for living.

A chimpanzee has 48 chromosomes. When performing meiosis, one chromosome does not split properly in Anaphase II, causing one cel
Schach [20]

Answer:

The mutated cell will have 25 chromosomes.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a cell division process in sexual reproduction which involves two successive divisions of a cell having a diploid (2n) number of chromosomes into four daughter cells having a haploid (1n) number of chromosomes.

Meiosis consists of two successive nuclear divisions, meiosis I and meiosis II. Each division consists of these stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Anaphase consists of anaphase I and II. During anaphase II, the centromeres linking the two pairs of chromosomes which are called chromatids separate, and the sister chromatids move toward the opposite poles of the cell and are now called chromosomes.

Therefore in the chimpanzee having 48 chromosomes, after underoing meiosis, each daughter cell will have 24 chromosomes. If there is a case of non-separation of one chromosome, the cell will have 1n + 1 chromosomes i.e. 24 + 1 = 25 chromosomes.

When atp is used by a cell to provide the energy for cellular work, the usual end products left over from the atp molecule are _
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

When atp is used by a cell to provide the energy for cellular work, the usual end products left over from the atp molecule are ADP

<u>Explanation:</u>

Like every other living thing that needs energy to survive the cells also needs energy for the proper functioning of the organism. Through Cellular respiration the cells derive energy in the form of ATP molecules.  

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) releases energy to the required cell by transferring one phosphate and then becoming Adenosine diposphate (ADP).

Then after it releases energy it is all set up to absorb another phosphate molecule to become ATP. And this is the simple process of acquiring and transferring energy to the cells.

Early twentieth century Russia was in great turmoil as the Bolshevik Revolution ended 300 years of monarchical rule. Tsar Nichol
Finger [1]

Answer:

a. The mtDNA of Anna Anderson bore no resemblance to that of Tsarina Alexandra

c. Tsarina Alexandria's mtDNA was found to be a match to that of the teenage girl.

Explanation:

Mitochondria contain their own DNA known as mtDNA, a strand which is inherited maternally. mtDNA can be used to find maternal ancestry and cannot be passed down by a paternal parent.

This information provides evidence given that the remains of the teenage girl had mtDNA that was identical to the mother, Tsarina Alexandra. It also gave evidence as to why Anna Anderson's claim of being Anastasia were false as the mtDNA of her and Tsarina Alexandra were not similar.

As to why the other answers cannot support the hypothesis, mtDNA is a maternally passed-down strand making the father, Tsar Nicholas Romanov, from having identical mtDNA to his children. On the other hand, if the teenage girl were to not have matching mtDNA to that of Tsuarina's mtDNA, this would disprove the theory of the girl being related to her.

While the teenage boy also had matching mtDNA with the girl, this only proves that the two were related to one another but not necessarily related to Tsarina unless the mtDNA of all three were proven identical.
