Well, leukocytes and white blood cells are the same thing, and they have a nucleus so you cant rule those out. Nerve cells also have a nucleus that contains genes.. in that case, the answer is erythrocytes.

Answer: erythrocytes

Erythrocytes also called as red blood cells. These are the cells which does not possess nucleus. They exhibit a pigment named as hemoglobin, the heme component of the hemoglobin has affinity for oxygen. It carries oxygen to all the parts of the body.

Initially the red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow with a nucleus. These red blood cells undergoes a process called as enucleation, this results in the removal of the nucleus from the cells. This process occurs when the cells attains maturity. It is a kind of adaptation that occurs in the red blood cells. It allows red blood cells to carry more hemoglobin, thereby carrying more oxygen molecules. It allows the cells to have distinctively bi- concave shape, which facilitates diffusion of carbon dioxide and oxygen. This could not be possible in the presence of nucleus.

What chromosomes are found in body cells but not sex cells?

Leni [432]

None, egg cells don't have chromosomes. No, sex cells do have chromosomes. meiosis reduces chromosome number so that sex cells (eggs and sperm) have a half set of chromosomes–one homolog of each pair. This is the haploid number.

Negative feedback occurs when the output of a pathway ____________ input to the pathway. Feedback loops are used extensively to

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Inhibits

Explanation:

Some mechanisms are essential for maintaining homeostasis in the human body. One of the most used mechanisms by our body is the negative feedback system. It causes a negative change from the initial change. As mentioned in the question, this often happens in the hypolamo-pituitary axis, such as when the adrenal cortex produces cortisol, this same cortisol inhibits the adenohypophysis and hypothalamus. It's also important to mention that deregulation in this process can lead to an undue chronic increase in cortisol and can lead to diseases such as anxiety disorder.

An E. coli F(+) cell

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- C.

Explanation:

The bacteria can transfer its genetic material through three processes: transformation, conjugation and transduction. The process of conjugation takes place through the formation of the conjugating tube formed of the pili, the membrane extensions of the bacteria.

These pili are known as fertility pili or F-pili as they transfer the F-plasmid or fertility plasmid from the F⁺ bacteria containing the F-plasmid to the F⁻ cells or the bacterial cells which lack the F-plasmid.

Thus, option- C is the correct answer.

Why is vinegar used in food preservation?

weqwewe [10]

Vinegar is an extremely acidic liquid. Very few microorganisms (ie bacteria and fungus which cause foods to spoil) can survive in such an acidic environment. Among other effects, it can destroy their cell walls, and prevent their own enzymes working (enzymes are extremely pH sensitive). There are a small number of microorgamisms which are adapted to survive in extreme acidity. However, this adaptation prevents them from surviving in more 'normal' environments. Therefore, anything which can survive in the vinegar, will not likely survive on your kitchen surface, and the same is true the other way around. Therefore, as vitually nothing can colonise whatever is in the vinegar, the food will be very effectively preserved. . . . . . . . . . . you can say........................ . . the low pH a nd high acidity of vinegar destroy bacteria
