Describe how genetic information is carried in chloroplasts and mitochondria

1 answer:

4 0

The mitochondria and the chloroplasts grow in a way that requires the genetic systems: and organelle and nucleus. The proteins are encoded in nuclear DNA and sent to the organelle. The genes carried in the mitochondria and chloroplasts is randomly assigned in mitosis and meiosis. As the cell divides, any organelles on that side are carried to different daughter cells. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own genetic systems because they are sub cellular bioenergetic organelles. The nucleus holds dna and a chloroplast has hundreds of nucleoids. hope this helps!

How would you describe the interior of the lungs?

nydimaria [60]

Explanation:

The interior of the lungs is made up of spongy tissues containing many capillaries and around 30 million tiny sacs known as alveoli.

The alveoli are cup-shaped structures found at the end of the terminal bronchioles and surrounded by capillaries.

What is an abiotic factor that can prevent the organism from becoming preserved

NeX [460]

Answer:

Groundwater.

Explanation:

Groundwater in this case is the primary abiotic factor that inhibits organism from being preserved after been buried. After being buried, decomposers here becomes the biotic factors that eat up dead bodies.

It is also known that sedimentary basins encounters a certain change in its subsidence rate over time, and eustatic sea level changes continuously, causing depth to variations in groundwater and lakes, ocean temperature, spreading rates, continental collision and cracks, and sedimentation in ocean basins.

The false spider mite, Brevipalpus phoenicis, has only two chromosomes. Which of the following pieces of evidence would allow yo

Reptile [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - a. If these two mite chromosomes have different genes at different loci.

Explanation:

If it is 2n= 2, it means that it is diploid and has two sets of chromosomes in which one set comes from mother and the other from father which means parent's genes contribute to diploid equally. Both sets of chromosomes form homologous chromosome pair. Each homolog of the pair has the same gene at the same loci in diploid and if it has not the same homologous gene at the same loci these are haploid.

Can someone explain the process of RNA editing?

Talja [164]

The process of RNA editing is the alteration of the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA after it has been transcribed from DNA, but before it is translated into a protein. RNA editing occurs by two distinct mechanisms:Substitution editing and Insertion/deletion editing.

Substitution editing is the chemical alteration of individual nucleotides. These alterations are catalyzed by enzymes that recognize a specific target sequence of nucleotides:

*Cytidine Deaminases that convert a C in the RNA to uracil.

*adenosine deaminases that convert an A to inosine,which the ribosome translates as a G.Thus a CAG codon (for Gln) can be converted to a CGG codon (for Arg).

*Insertion/deletion editing is the insertion or deletion of nucleotides in an RNA.

These alterations are mediated by guide RNA molecules that base-pair as best they can with the RNA to be edited and serve as a template for the addition( or removal) in the target.
