Answer:

C) Most likely an archaeon

Explanation:

Because this new microorganism has a rigid cell wall but lacks of peptidoglycan it is very likely that this is not a bacterium; bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan.  

This new microorganism cannot be an eukaryote either because all eukaryotes have a nucleus in their cells.

It is possible that the new microorganism is an archeon (belongs to the Archea domain) because organisms within Archea have cell walls assembled from surface-layer proteins. Also, Archaea and bacteria are generally similar in size and shape including  2 μm microorganism and coccoid shapes.

Answer:

So that in a guinea pig cross in the offspring the recessive trait —long hair— can be observed in 25%, the most probable genotype of the parents is heterozygous Ss.

Explanation:

In guinea pigs, for the characteristic<u> hair length, short hair is the dominant allele and long hair is the recessive one</u>.

In order for 25% of the offspring to express the recessive characteristic, the parents must have a recessive genotype, which can be seen in Punnett's Square:

P: <u>Ss X Ss </u>

<em>Alleles     S     s </em>

<em>S             SS   Ss </em>

<em>s             Ss    ss </em>

Where the offspring is:

  • <em>50% Ss with short hair phenotype </em>
  • <em>25% SS with short hair phenotype </em>
  • <em>25% ss whose phenotype would be long hair. </em>

According to this, heterozygous parents for the characteristic long hair in guinea pigs have a 25% chance of having offspring with long hair.

soldi70 [24.7K]
The large central vacuole would become dehydrated, because without enough water stored in it, there wouldn't be any turgor pressure (water pushing against the cell wall) to support the cell, which causes the plant to wilt.

Where are the 2 places that you can find the organelles Ribosomes
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Ribosomes are found 'free' in the cytoplasm or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to form rough ER. In a mammalian cell there can be as many as 10 million ribosomes. Several ribosomes can be attached to the same mRNA strand, this structure is called a polysome.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :D
