Answer:

The most accurate measurement is 2.829 cm.

Explanation:

We can round the decimals to a certain accuracy in order to make further calculations easier.To round a number to the nearest hundredth ,check the next place value to the right (the thousandths). If it's less than 5, remove all the digits to the right. If the place value is 5 or greater than 5, just add 1 to the previous digit (the hundredths place digit) and drop all other digits to the right.

In other words, to round off a decimal number, the procedure is as follows; if the digit to the right of the required number is a 5 or greater, add 1 to previous digit and drop all the remaining digits.  If the required number is less than 5, do not change the previous digit and remove all the remaining digits.

Here, a piece of metal with a length of 2.83 cm was measured using four different devices. The obtained measurements are 2.837 cm, 2.829 cm, 2.812 cm and 2.805 cm.

Thus, the first measurement 2.837 cm can be round off to 2.84 cm. The second measurement 2.829 cm can be round off to 2.83 cm. The third measurement 2.812 cm can be round off to 2.81 cm and the fourth measurement 2.805 cm can be round off to 2.81 cm.

So the most accurate measurement is the second one, 2.829 cm which can be round off to 2.83 cm.

How does sexual reproduction compare to DNA transfers in prokaryotes?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

  Prokaryotic cells, also known as protocells or prokaryotic cells, belonging to the Prokaryota group of the Monera Kingdom. They are organisms of relatively small size and with well simplified composition and functioning, which makes these beings the first living organisms on the planet. These functions are precarious in relation to eukaryotes, but not taking away their complexity and their ability to adapt to the environment in which they live.

 Although prokaryotes have the same molecular structure as eukaryotes, they do not have some cytoplasmic organelles, such as: mitochondria; smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum; golgi complex; plastids; karyomembrane; lysosomes and vacuoles. Even thus, prokaryotes have DNA, which can be observed as a protein free ring (they are devoid of protein).

  The prokaryote genetic material is made up of just a strand of circular DNA. Because its nucleus is separated by a thin protective layer, that filament is completely mixed with the cellular hyaloplasma.

  Reproduction of prokaryotic cells does not occur by mitosis, but by a process called binary fission.This type of reproduction recombines genetic material through two processes: transduction and transformation. DNA in this cell type is dispersed in the cytoplasm because it does not have a nuclear membrane. In this kind of reproduction, you don't have the chromossomal condesnsation, like what occurs in eukariotes, and then by fission, septa are formed and direct from the surface to the cell nucleus, where the cell is divided into two.
