Answer:

The number of genes partially explains how an organism has evolved and how it gained complexity.

Explanation:

The number of genes of a bacteria versus an eucaryotic organism is quite distinct and so is their complexity. A prokaryotic organism like a bacteria has a set of genes necessary to exert their basic functions and the number of genes compared to a eucaryotic cell is 3-30 times smaller, which defines a direct correlation of number of genes and complexity. However if we consider only eucaryote organisms and their complexity there is no such direct correlation between number of genes and their complexity when, for example, we compare the number of genes of humans (approximately 18000) and the number of genes of the <em>Trichomonas vaginalis, </em>an anaerobic, flagellated protozoan parasite and the causative agent of trichomoniasis. The number of genes of <em>T. vaginalis</em> is far bigger than the human cell, however the human complexity is far more advanced than the parasite organism.

What are the starting materials and products of photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
alukav5142 [94]
<span>Photosynthesis usually happens in the leaves of the plants.This process undergoes a
complex process and involves two stages.The light dependent stage uses water as its
raw material and has its product which is oxygen and NADPH. Carbon dioxide is the material used for the second stage - the light independent stage. During this stage, glucose has been created.

<span>Photosynthesis is the process to store energy and cellular respiration releases the energy stored. Glucose and Oxygen are the materials used in cellular respiration and releases water and carbon dioxide.Cellular Respiration goes through the processes Glycolysis,Transition Reaction, the Krebs Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain and Chemiosmosis, respectively.</span></span>

Basile [38]

The answer is a C. The offsprings from this generation are from a cross between parents who are heterozygous (one parent) and homozygous recessive. This means that all the offsprings of the filial 1 (one) generation will carry a recessive allele. However, those with an equivalent dominant allele will not exhibit the attached earlobe trait. This is shown by the Punnet square below;
