Answer:
The correct answer is - osmosis.
Explanation:
Paramecium lives in freshwater like the Potomac River which is hypotonic to the cytosol of the paramecium. Paramecium uses contractile vacuoles to transport the water from the lower concentration (outside of the cell) to a high concentration of solvent to the inside of the cells.
This process of cell transport is carried out by osmosis as their cytoplasm contains a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell. This excess water is collected into vacuoles called contractile vacuole that swells and finally internalized the water to the outside of the cell.
Thus, the correct answer is - osmosis.
Answer:
Mitochondrial DNA.
Explanation:
Mitochondria is known as the power house of the cell and one of the important organelle responsible for the production of energy. Mitochondria contains its own DNA.
To understand the maternal ancestor history, the mitochondria DNA must be studied. The mitochondria is solely obtained from the mother as the egg contains large amount of cytoplasm that contains mitochondria. The mitochondria can never be inherited from paternal origin as the sperm contains few amount of cytoplasm and mitochondria.
Thus, the answer is mitochondrial DNA.
