 Bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The white blood cells (also called leukocytes) that our bone marrow produces are used to fight off diseases, and the platelets rush to a wound to form a layer over it, similar to a plate, to clot the blood and prevent bleeding. If your bone marrow dies or fails, your red blood cell count will dramatically decrease. A low blood cell count is called cytopenia. Someone who has a genetic bone marrow disease may be helped by a bone marrow transplant from a matching relative or donor. Before a transplant you get chemotherapy with or without radiation to kill off diseased red blood cells. During a bone marrow transplant you get injected with new, healthy red blood cells that make their way to your bone marrow to further grow and develop.

Evidence suggests that first, ____________ were acquired when an aerobic bacterium was engulfed by larger cells and became mutua
leonid [27]

Answer:

1. Mitochondria

2. Chloroplast

3. the formation of eukaryotic cells

4. DNA

Explanation:

The theory of endosymbiosis was proposed by the Lynn Margulis in 1967 which suggested that the eukaryotic organelles like the mitochondria and chloroplast evolved when another prokaryotic cell engulfed the prokaryotic bacteria.

The mitochondria were formed when the chemosynthetic bacteria were engulfed by the bacteria and the engulfed bacteria formed a symbiotic relationship. Similarly, the chloroplast was originated in the same way when the photosynthetic bacteria were engulfed by another prokaryote.

The evidence which supports their ar:

1. The same size of the organelles to the bacteria

2. The presence of the circular DNA of the organelles like bacteria  

3. The similarity in the 30s and 70s ribosomal subunits.

Did deletion of any of the possible control elements cause a reduction in reporter gene expression? how can you tell?
lana66690 [7]
Options are not provided in the question. I found the answer on the Internet.

Yes, deletion of the possible control elements can cause reduction in reporter gene expression. Due to deletion of a control element, the activator cannot bind to the enhancer. This causes reduction in the gene expression.

Answer: Deletion of element no. 3 causes a reduction in reporter gene expression.
