Answer:

Homologous chromosomes carry the same genes and have the same shape and length, so all the choices are correct.

Explanation:

The homologous chromosomes are so called because each of them has the same DNA molecule, giving rise to the same genes, distributed in the same location within the chromosome.

Somatic cells are diploid, which means that the genetic information that determines specific characteristics is distributed in pairs. Each of the chromosomes that form a pair comes from the father and mother, and the members of a pair are known as homologous chromosomes.

The homologous chromosomes are <u>characterized by having the same shape and size, and contain the same genes</u>, although the information contained in them —the alleles— may be different. Hence the possibility that one allele is dominant and another recessive on two chromosomes of a pair.

Transport of D- and L- glucose proceeds at the same rate down an electrochemical gradietn by which ofhte following processes?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Explanation:

Active transport is the movement of molecules or substance from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration across a cell membrane against the concentration gradient.

Active transport requires cellular energy and are of two types:

primary active transport that uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and secondary active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient.

Active transport helps in the uptake of glucose in the intestines.

Cotransport or secondary active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane it uses electrochemical potential difference that is created by pumping ions in or out of the cell.

Cotransport helps in the transport of glucose across the cell membrane.

The energy a cell needs to build molecules or to power cellular respiration is supplied by
Anna [14]

Answer:

The energy a cell needs to build molecules or to power cellular respiration is supplied by mitochondria.

Explanation:

Mitochondria  are tiny cell organelle present in eukaryotic cells. It is called the powerhouse of the cell. It is referred to as such because it produces most number of energy molecules or ATP that is released from food. It produces 36 molecules of ATP and the cell produces 2 molecules of ATP. This process of releasing energy from food by the mitochondria is called cellular respiration. These energy molecules are then used in various other cellular activities.
