Where does an organism get its unique characteristics?

Biology
1 answer:
MrMuchimi3 years ago
3 0

The right answer is: An organism's characteristics are determined by their genome which is inherited from one generation to the next.

We can give some characteristics of a living organism:

* The ability to stay alive by drawing energy and necessary components into the environment. This ability is based on the metabolism that includes various functions, such as nutrition, respiration, photosynthesis ...;

* The ability to develop according to a certain organization (growth, morphology, cell division, development);

* The ability to reproduce and give birth to other living organisms (vegetative or sexual reproduction);

* The need for a favorable environment to survive (temperature, pressure, oxygen, water ...).

Living matter is based on organic chemistry based on carbon.

Which of the following represents a possible chromosome number of a species that uses sexual reproduction, and why?
Ann [662]

Answer:

B. 62, because this number will create a haploid cell, allowing both female and male gametes to be combined.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction involves two organisms to come together (male and female). Sexually-reproducing organisms make use of a process called MEIOSIS to produce gametes or sex cells, which have a reduced number of chromosomes as the parent cells producing them.

A sexually reproducing organism must contain a complete diploid chromosome number (2n) that allows it to produce cells with a haploid chromosome number via meiosis. The haploid gamete cells that result from each meiotic divisions of male and female parents can combine to form a whole diploid organism.

Compare and contrast three metabolic pathways by choosing whether the statement applies to aerobic respiration. Check all that a
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be options

1. Process includes glycolysis.

2. Between 2 and 38 ATP are produced per molecule of glucose input .

3. Much or most of the ATP produced is produced by oxidative phosphorylation.

4. Process involves electron transport and chemiosmosis.

5.  End products are CO₂ and H₂O.

6. Process involves the Krebs cycle.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the oxidative process which involves the breakdown of food molecules like glucose, amino acids and fats to release heat and energy in the form of ATP.

In the presence of oxygen or aerobic respiration it undergoes four stages: glycolysis, link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain while in the anaerobic reaction it produces ethanol and carbon dioxide by the process of fermentation.

Each stage produces energy in the form of ATP molecules or co-enzymes NADH OR FADH₂ like glycolysis produces 2 ATP and link reaction, Krebs cycle produces NADH OR FADH₂ in addition to ATP. Each NADH produces 3 ATP while Each FADH₂ produces 2 ATP during electron transport chain.  So, ATP molecules are produced between 2 to 38 ATP molecules in each stage with large number during electron transport chain from these co-enzymes.

The waste products produced in the stages of cellular respiration are CO₂ molecules and H₂O which is also known as metabolic water.
