Answer:

An ancestor, also known as a forefather, fore-elder or a forebear,[1] is a parent or (recursively) the parent of an antecedent (i.e., a grandparent, great-grandparent, great-great-grandparent and so forth). Ancestor is "any person from whom one is descended. In law the person from whom an estate has been inherited."[2]

Two individuals have a genetic relationship if one is the ancestor of the other or if they share a common ancestor. In evolutionary theory, species which share an evolutionary ancestor are said to be of common descent. However, this concept of ancestry does not apply to some bacteria and other organisms capable of horizontal gene transfer. Some research suggests that the average person has twice as many female ancestors as male ancestors. This might have been due to the past prevalence of polygynous relations and female hypergamy.[3]

Assuming that all of an individual's ancestors are otherwise unrelated to each other, that individual has 2n ancestors in the nth generation before him and a total of 2g+1 − 2 ancestors in the g generations before him. In practice, however, it is clear that most ancestors of humans (and any other species) are multiply related (see pedigree collapse). Consider n = 40: the human species is more than 40 generations old, yet the number 240, approximately 1012 or one trillion, dwarfs the number of humans who have ever lived.

Some cultures confer reverence to ancestors, both living and dead; in contrast, some more youth-oriented cultural contexts display less veneration of elders. In other cultural contexts, some people seek providence from their deceased ancestors; this practice is sometimes known as ancestor worship or, more accurately, ancestor veneration.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The statement that is false is b)The nuclear envelope is continuous with the Golgi apparatus.

Explanation:

The nuclear envelope or nuclear membrane is not continuous with the Golgi apparatus; rather it is continuous with the exterior of the endoplasmic reticulum.  

Nuclear envelope is a double-layered membrane built from lipid bilayer. The nuclear membrane consists of nuclear pores, which are made up of proteins and majorly function in the passing of selected substances in and out of the nucleus. Hence, all the other statements a,c,d are correct.
