Question 7(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points)

Biology
1 answer:
Maurinko [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: The correct option is B (self-replicating molecules, such as RNA and DNA)

Explanation:

The current theory of the process of evolution makes use of present day knowledge of genes and chromosomes to explain the source of genetic variation upon which natural selection works. These genes are discrete units of inheritance which determine hereditary characteristics. All the information for the inheritable characteristics of an individual are contained in these genes.

When a cell divides, the genes duplicate themselves so that each daughter cell has an identical set of genes as the original parent cell. These genes are passed from parents to offspring in the gametes of the parents.

Gene are found in the DNA( Deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules or RNA (Ribonucleic acid) molecules. These molecules are capable of self replication due to a process called mutation. Mutations are random changes in DNA that alter genetic information and sin introduce new characteristics. They may occur

--> in body cells or

--> during gamete formation.

Thus, evolution from vesicles to true cells is through self replicating molecules through the process of mutation which is the raw material for evolution

Proton pumps embedded in the cell membrane use ATP to move hydrogen ions across the membrane. Which of the following best descri
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Although protons resemble other positive ions such as Na+ and K+ in their movement across membranes, in some respects they are unique. Hydrogen atoms are by far the most abundant type of atom in living organisms; they are plentiful not only in all carbon-containing biological molecules, but also in the water molecules that surround them. The protons in water are highly mobile, flickering through the hydrogen-bonded network of water molecules by rapidly dissociating from one water molecule to associate with its neighbor, Protons are thought to move across a protein pump embedded in a lipid bilayer in a similar way: they transfer from one amino acid side chain to another, following a special channel through the protein.

The ratio of the ages of father and son is 9:2 if the father is 45 year old, find the son
wolverine [178]
If the ratio is 9:2 that means that 45 would by ñ times 9. At the same time, ñ must also fit the ratio. Using this knowledge, you can divide 45 by 9, giving you 5, then multiply it by 2. This means that the child is 10 years old.
