Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]3 years ago

Answer:

The egg contains both food and mitochondria in addition to its vital DNA, thats why it is much larger. The sperm cell has to be much smaller than the egg cell, because it is the one that swims. If a sperm cell were as big as an egg, it would not be able to move very fast nor very far.

DNA - Option C.

Gene - Option A.

Chromosomes - Option B.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

DNA is described here as the instructions that governs all the characters of an organism. Its actually a macro molecule which is a polymer of different thousands of nucleotides which is present in all cells and contain genetic information for running the characters of an organism.

Genes are described here as series of nitrogen bases governing a particular character or trait. Gene is actually a functional part of DNA which codes for a protein that governs a particular character of an organism.

Enzymes are proteins in nature. They are produced as a result of transcription and translation from DNA, and hastens different chemical processes of a metabolic activity.

The chromosomes are the condensed form of DNA. They are seen in the cells prior to cell division, either mitosis or meiosis. They are half obtained from father and the other half from mother, leading to variations among the offsprings.

How does the structure of a brain cell related to its function?
lesya [120]

Solution:

Structure dictates function. Ribosomes provide another good example of structure determining function. These small cellular components are made of protein and ribosomal RNA (RNA).Their main function is to translate messenger RNA, or mRNA, into strings of amino acids called proteins.

The structure and shape of each type of human cell depends on what function it will perform in the body. For example, red blood cells (RBCs) are very small, flat discs, which allows them to easily fit through narrow capillaries and around sharp corners in the circulatory system to deliver oxygen throughout the body.

Neurons carry messages from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body, using electrical signals down their lengths and chemical signals between neurons. Since electrical signals travel much faster than chemical signals, neurons are long and thin to minimize the number of slower chemical signals that would be required between links in a chain of many shorter neurons.

The elongated shape of muscle cells allows the contraction proteins to line up in an overlapping pattern that makes muscle flexing possible.

And human sperm cells’ structures allow them to “swim” long distances to reach an egg for fertilization. They do this by using flagella, their long whip-like tails, and also by being very small, carrying little more than the DNA for a potential zygote.

This is the required answer.
