Answer:
Organelles in a cell are essentially the same as organs in an organism. The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, as we all know. It creates ATP, which is what gives the cell energy. This is similar to how we consume food and create energy from it. Cell membranes are similar to skin, as they keep needed things in, and unwanted things out. Our cells need water too, as it helps create the cytoplasm. We need water to keep us alive and well, as it helps to create many of our needed bodily fluids, and rid us of toxins.

Answer:
c. Major groove
Explanation:
The interaction surfaces of proteins are, in general, varied. From the point of view of the secondary structure, the surfaces of the proteins are formed by the surfaces of their α helices, β sheets and loops that conform them. The surfaces of the DNA molecules are less varied: the B-DNA helix has a monotonous “screw” shaped surface with phosphoribose ridges between which two grooves (major and minor) are formed. The difference between different nucleotide sequences can only be seen from outside in the major groove, where the bases appear. The surfaces of RNA molecules that possess tertiary structure (such as t-RNA) are almost as complex as that of proteins.
Since the major groove is the only site where the bases are accessible from outside the B-DNA without distorting it, the major groove constitutes the main recognition site. As the interaction between molecules is stronger if their surfaces are complementary, the protein-DNA interaction usually occurs by filling the major groove.
Mutations acquired by somatic cells are generally only retained by the individual they acquire in as there is no vector by which to transmit the mutation.
<span>Between generations, the only mutations that may be transmitted are those already acquired from a parent, and those that occur within the individuals own germ cells. If mutations in the germ cells result in sperm or eggs that contain that mutation, then they may be transmitted to their offspring. </span>
<span>Red blood cells in all humans and other mammals, though, don't contain nuclear DNA and as such cannot acquire mutations.</span>
