Answer:

D. Diffusion

Explanation:

Cyanide is a toxic substance which can poison the metabolic reactions of the organisms. The cyanide act during cellular respiration especially during the electron transport chain by blocking the transfer of an electron to the oxygen. This transfer of oxygen is blocked as cyanide binds to the complex IV subunits. This stops the generation of the ATP molecules and thus cells die.

If the ATP will not be produced than the physiological responses in the cell which involves the ATP will get blocked like the movement in the cell, of the cell, the process of cell division and the transport which utilizes the ATP.

Since diffusion is a process which does not uses the ATP, therefore, it will be least affected by the cyanide.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.

Answer:

D. Diffusion

Explanation:

The process of diffuse transports the substances in the direction of their concentration gradients. Diffusion of substance from the region of their higher to that of the lower concentration does not require any energy. Being a passive process, diffusion can be carried out by a cell irrespective of the status of its ATP supply. Therefore, an animal cell containing a small amount of cyanide can transport substances by diffusion.

During which phase of meiosis does each of the following events occur?
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

(a) crossing over: Meiosis I, Recombination  

(b) chromatids separate at their centromeres and migrate to opposite poles: Meiosis II, Anaphase II

(c) chromosomes become aligned in pairs at the equator: Meiosis II, Metaphase II

Explanation:

Homologous recombination is a type of genetic recombination that occurs during meiosis (formation of ovum and sperm cells). The paired chromosomes of the male and female parents are aligned so that similar DNA sequences intersect. This crossing over produces an exchange of genetic material, which is an important cause of the genetic variability observed in the offspring.

Meiosis II: Anaphase II. The centromeres separate and the daughter chromatids - now individual chromosomes - move to the opposite poles of the cell. The centromeres separate, and the two chromatids of each chromosome move toward the opposite poles in the spindle.

Meiosis II: Metaphase II. Chromosomes are accommodated in the equatorial plate of metaphase, similar to what happens in mitosis. They are attached to the already fully formed meiotic spindle. Each chromosome is aligned in the equatorial plate of the metaphase, as it happens in mitosis.

A team of scientists is studying several plant species that they think could become new farm crops. The scientists want to apply
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The high yielding property of a plant species would be most useful for meeting the scientists’ goal.

Explanation:

In selective breeding, we develop a new variety by crossing a wild specie with the domestic growing variety in order to achieve the characteristic which is present only in wild specie. So with the help of selective breeding, this characteristics is transferred to the offspring. The main goal of scientist is to produce such variety which produces maximum yield and also good quality seeds.

What correction needs to be made to the information on the table
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Igneous rocks are the cooling and hardening of magma or lava and sedimentary rock is made of sediment cemented together

Explanation:

The three types of rock are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. Igneous rock is formed by the cooling and hardening of magma and lava. Examples include granite and basalt. Metamorphic rock is formed when other rocks are exposed to high heat and pressure, causing a chemical change in the rock. Examples include marble and gneiss. Sedimentary rock is formed when sediment is cemented together by minerals. Examples include sandstone and limestone.

Hope this Helps! ::)
