Rotenone is a poison commonly added to insecticides. Rotenone binds tightly with one of the electron carrier molecules in the el

ectron transport chain, preventing electrons from passing to the next carrier molecule. Insects exposed to rotenone will die because
they will no longer be able to produce adequate amounts of ATP. T/F

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Rotenone is a broad spectrum pesticide and insecticide and is also considered as a non-selective piscicide.

The action mechanism of the rotenone has been described below -

It interferes with the electron transport chain which occurs in mitochondria of the cells. Here the transfer of electrons from complex I to the ubiquinone is inhibited by the rotenone. As a result, ATP formation with the help of NADH is also inhibited. When electron transport fails, oxygen in the cell is reduced to oxygen radical which further damages DNA and other components present in the mitochondria.

If a plant cell completes the cell cycle in 24 hour, how many cells will be produced in 5 days ?
Andru [333]

Answer:

The correct answer is 128 cells

Explanation:

Given: 1 complete cell cycle takes 24 hours. It means 1 plant cell divides into 2 cells in 24 hours. Thus, number of hours in one week will be:

24 x 7 days =  168 hours, if one cell cycle  takes 24 hours, then in 168 hours there will be 7 cell cycles.

So, first cell cycle will results into 2 cells and both these cells will divide and will results into 4 cells and then after third division it will 8 cells and so on..

Therefore, at the end of 7th division there will be 128 cells.

The answer is <span>geographic isolation.</span>

<span>When a new species form by geographic isolation, it is called geographical speciation or allopatric speciation. Geographical isolation is a physical separation which prevents gene flow between distinct populations (on the island and on continent). The island populations will eventually diverge from a single species that migrated to the island. The members of the populations, which once belonged to the same species, will no longer be able to mate and produce offspring. Eventually, the formation of new species will occur, for example kangaroos, koala, and wombats, form that one species.</span>

Leni [432]
<span>The question says, a scientist is carrying out replication of DNA artificially in her laboratory. What will she use to join the gaps on the DNA strand? They correct option is DNA ligase. DNA ligase is the enzyme which specializes in facilitating the joining of DNA strands by catalysing the formation of phosphodiester bonds.</span>
