Hi

As we have studied that Mitochondria is an organelle that is considered to be the power house of the cell. It is the main site where production of energy along with its supply to other organelles occur. All eukaryotic organisms contain mitochondria in their cells, however, Monocercomonoides are a newly discovered group of organisms which are eukaryotic but can happily live without the presence of mitochondria because they dont contain it in their cells.

It is believed that in Monocercomonoides, the  iron-sulfur cluster assembly pathway is replaced by cytosolic sulfur mobilization system (SUF)  pathway due to which the organism is able to easily carry out all its life processes. Evolutionary studies have also shown that previously these organisms had mitochondria but lost it during evolutionary processes.

Hope it helps!

Tom [10]

The right answer is A.

Lactic fermentation is a catabolic process, a fermentation, having as a starting point glycolysis, which produces an acid, lactic acid used to reoxidize NADH to NAD+, and by the way it produces energy in form of ATP.

In other words, lactic acid fermentation is a biological process by which sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose are converted into cellular energy and metabolic byproduct, lactate. It is a lactic ferment that intervenes.

Blood type is a genetically determined trait. Two siblings donate blood and find out their blood types. The brother is Type A an
rjkz [21]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The brother has different alleles for the blood type gene than his sister does.  Blood type is inherited from parents like many other traits that can be displayed on a punnet square.  Depending on what the parents blood type alleles were, the brother and sister could have different blood types.  

A different number of chromosomes doesn't lead to different blood types, so D is wrong.  And A is incorrect because the number genes also does not affect blood type.  And I think the blood type genes are on the same chromosome, so B is wrong.  C is correct because blood type is inherited by alleles, and different alleles can cause different traits, such as blood types.
