Mitochondria are thought to be the descendants of certain alpha proteobacteria. They are, however, no longer able to lead indepe

ndent lives because most genes originally present on their chromosomes have moved to the nuclear genome. Which phenomenon accounts for the movement of these genes?

Answer:

The correct answer is "horizontal gene transfer".

Explanation:

The most common way at which genes are transferred is vertically, from parents to their descendants. However genes could be transferred among species, in what is known as horizontal gene transfer (HGT). HGT is most clearly seen in bacteria, actually HGT is the cause of the phenomenon of the development of antibiotic resistance. The theory of an ancient mitochondria moving their genes to the chromosomes of its host is most likely the result of HGT. This makes sense since an ancient mitochondria most likely behaved as an alpha proteobacteria, an ancient bacteria that already developed its HGT mechanism..

What question was investigated based on the data graphed here?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is D) Does the amount of radiation from the sun affect air temperature?</em></u>

Explanation:

The graph represents the effect of Sunlight or global radiation on the temperature of the air present in the atmosphere.

As we know, as the amount of radiation increases, the temperature of the Earth also increases. This phenomenon is perfectly illustrated in the graph mentioned in the question. Hence, D is the correct option.

Other options like option A are not correct because the graph does not illustrates the parts of the Earth which receive the most global radiation over a year.

12. Se obtienen 500 mL de CO2 en el laboratorio a una temperatura de 18 °C y una presión de 560 mmHg. El volumen que ocupa a con
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

A. 345,6 mL

Explanation:

Tenemos un gas definido en ciertas condiciones (de presión, temperatura y volumen) y queremos saber el volumen que ocupará en condiciones normales de presión y temperatura, es decir, 1 atm y 0ºC.

Para resolver este problema utilizaremos la ecuación de los gases ideales:

pV=nRT

Ya tenemos todos los datos, y sólo nos resta calcular n, el número de moles. R es la constante de los gases, la cual tiene el valor redondeado de 0.082 L.atm/mol.K, por lo cual es importante convertir las unidades para que éstas se cancelen y den como resultado los moles de gas.

Dividimos 560 en 760 para pasar de mmHg a atm, 500 mL se dividen por 1000mL para pasar a litros, y a la temperatura de 18ºC se le suman 273 para pasarla a Kelvin.

Despejamos n de la ecuación:

n=p.V ÷ R.T

n= 0.740 atm × 0.50 L ÷ 0.082 L.atm/mol.K × 291 K

n= 0.0155 mol

Ahora que tenemos el número de moles del gas, podemos usar la ecuación nuevamente para calcular el volumen que tendrá el gas en condiciones normales (1 atm y 0ºC, o 273 K).

Despejamos V de la ecuación:

V= n.R.T ÷ p

V= 0.0155 mol × 0.082 L.atm/mol.K × 273 K ÷ 1 atm

V= 0.346 L ≈ 346 mL

El volumen que ocupará el mismo gas a condiciones normales será 346 mL, por ende la respuesta correcta es la A. Hay una pequeña discrepancia pero ésta es normal, se debe al redondeo del resultado al final (acá redondeo 345.6 a 346).
