Why do mitochondria and chloroplasts have relatively small genomes?

Biology
1 answer:
Komok [63]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

B) Over time, much of their nucleic acid has migrated to the host cell nucleus

Explanation:

The origin of chloroplasts and mitochondria is explained via endosymbiosis theory: they  originated as prokarytoic symbionts. The host cell acquired genetic information from them and “took it up” by lateral gene transfer. Those genes (now located in the eukaryotic cell nucleus-nuclear genome) encode the great majority of chloroplast and mitochondrial proteins, as well as many proteins of the nucleus and cytosol.  

Yet ,chloroplasts and mitochondria retained some of the genes in their genomes.

Explain why the change in the way that molecules of b globin interact with each other lead to the sickling of the red blood cell
Nataliya [291]

The sickle form of the hemoglobin gene is created when an adenine nucleotide is changed to a thymine. ... That single amino acid replacement in the -globin protein alters the shape and the chemistry of the hemoglobin molecule, causing it to polymerize and distort the red blood cell into the sickle shape.

Which of the following statements regarding membrane protein function is FALSE?A) membrane proteins serves as enzymesB) membrane
Sever21 [200]

Answer: D)

Membrane proteins produce phospholids

Explanation:

Membrane proteins in the mitochondria do more than just generate cellular energy. The proteins in the membranes of the mitochondria are complex machines in the nanoworld that mediate the oxygen-coupled generation of energy in cells. Their role in this process is not yet understood in detail.

Membrane proteins perform a variety of functions vital to the survival of organisms: Membrane receptor proteins relay signals between the cell's internal and external environments. Transport proteins move molecules and ions across the membrane.
