NUCLEUS IS CALLED CONTROL CENTRE OF THE CELL BECAUSE IT PERFORMS TWO MAIN PRINCIPAL FUNCTIONS:

1. Contains genetic information for structure, reproduction , development, metabolism and behaviour. ...

2 Controls cellular activities through directing synthesis of particular proteins and enzymes.

Explanation:

It contains the genetic instructions for every function of the cell. It is the cell's powerhouse and processes energy for the cell. It is responsible for packaging proteins for delivery out of the cells.

It contains the genetic instructions for every function of the cell. It is the cell's powerhouse and processes energy for the cell.

-The cell nucleus is a membrane bound structure that contains the cell's hereditary information and controls the cell's growth and reproduction. It is the command center of a eukaryotic cell and is commonly the most prominent organelle in a cell.

-The cell nucleus is bound by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope. This membrane separates the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm. Like the cell membrane, the nuclear envelope consists of phospholipids that form a lipid bilayer.

Answer:

eagle- chordata phylum

ladybud- Insecta class

scorpian- Arachnida class

lobster- Crustacea class

snail- Mollusca phylum

Explanation:

The organism that contains a notochord at some of its life cycle stage are called chordates and all vertebrates are chordates so eagle comes under phylum Chordata.

Insecta is the largest class of phylum Arthropoda which contains organisms which have jointed legs, exoskeleton and segmented body for example ladybird, playing mantis, etc.

Arachnids are animals which have jointed legs and in this class spider are the largest order which contains scorpions, mites, ticks, etc.

Crustaceans are invertebrates which have hard shell made up of calcium for example lobster, prawn, shrimp, etc.

Mollusks are very large invertebrate phylum which contains a soft segmented body that is usually present inside a shell made up of calcium. for example snails.

dexar [7]

Complete question:

Suppose "A" is a dominant gene for the ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide and "a" is a recessive gene for the inability to taste it. Which couples could possibly have both a child who tastes it and a child who does not?

a. father AA, mother aa

b. father Aa, mother AA

c. father Aa, mother Aa

d. father AA, mother AA

Answer:

c. father Aa, mother Aa

Explanation:

According to the given information, the ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide is a dominant trait and is imparted by the allele "A". This phenotype would be expressed in both homozygous and heterozygous conditions. The non-taster phenotype would be expressed in the homozygous recessive genotypes only.

To have both taster and non-taster children, both the parents should have at least one copy of the recessive allele. Among the given options, the father with genotype Aa and the mother with genotype Aa have the possibility to have both taster and non-taster children.

Aa x Aa= 3/4 taster (1/4 AA and 1/2 Aa): 1/4 non-taster (1/4 aa)
