Answer : The correct answer is -

a. the transmission of genetic characteristics from parents to children.

Heredity can be described as the transfer of particular traits /characteristic of parents to their offspring in the form of genetic material (DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid).

In other words, the transfer of genetic information (that determines particular traits) from one generation to the next generation is called heredity.

Genes (segment of DNA that codes for particular protein, which depicts specific trait) are considered as the unit of heredity.

Thus, option a) is the right answer.

Describe the cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, and cytoplasm. which of these structures are you likely to find in a prokaryotic
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

you can see below

Explanation:

Basic Definitions:

Cell Membrane = the semi-permeable structure that surrounds the cell and keeps all of the cells organelles from exploding everywhere.

Cell Wall = the rigid 'armor' of the cell that surrounds it after the membrane. Usually made up of cellulose and ONLY found in plant cells.

Nucleus = A really dense organelle of the cell usually surrounded by two membranes. They contain and protect your genetic material. Basically everything that makes you, you.

Cytoplasm = The watery, salty, and protein filled 'soup' that fills the cell. All organelles float happily in this.

Now Specific Locations:

Eukaryotic cells

have plasma membranes

please mark me brainliest or mark me thanks at leat

only have cell walls if the cells are plants.

They do have a nucleus.

They have cytoplasm

Prokaryotic cells

have plasma membranes

cell walls are usually chemically complexed.

don't have a nucleus

have cytoplasm

Animal cells

only have the plasma membranes.

No cell wall

have a nucleus

have cytoplasm

Plant cells

have both the cell wall

and have a plasma membrane

have a nucleus

What conclusion would be most appropriate about the genetic variation between humans and the 3 apes as illustrated by the phylog
GuDViN [60]
I believe the correct answer is that <span>The genetic variation between humans and orangutans is the greatest. 
We cannot say that there is no genetic variation at all, because there obviously is - we are not the same as the other three apes, even though we have a common ancestor. Also, we cannot say that we are completely the same, because there are obvious differences. And finally, we didn't originate from those three animals, but rather all of us come from the same organism.
