What does mitosis do that the cell would do wrong if it just split down the middle in cell division?

Mitosis is when a DNA error, aka mutation, occurs in a body cell. When cells divide, it needs a copy of the DNA. During DNA replication, that error can cause the instructions for building proteins to differ. The change can not affect offspring. Meiosis is the same situation, but in sex cells. This can be transferred to offspring.

Jim is in a crowd of people at the mall looking for his girlfriend Tammy, who was supposed to meet him for dinner. Jim realizes
Vaselesa [24]
The answer would most likely be B, diffusion. Diffusion is the process of molecules going from an area of higher concentration of those particles (around Tammy) to an area of lower concentration (around Jim who is across the room), without the use of energy, as they are going with the concentration gradient (higher concentration to lower concentration). In this question, the molecules would be the molecules of Tammy's perfume. The area around her has a higher concentration of perfume particles, as she sprayed the perfume on herself. The area around Jim would be the area of lower concentration, as there are less molecules of perfume around him. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from an area of higher water concentration to an area with a lower water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Active transport is the process of diffusion, however, it requires energy as the molecules go across their concentration gradient (from low concentration to high concentration). Facilitated diffusion is the process by which molecules go from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. However, the molecules go through a cell's membrane with the aid of proteins on the membrane. Therefore the answer would be diffusion.

What is NOT an example of proof of the existence of the emdosymbiotic theory in modern day mitochondria?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option B. mitochondria have their own nucleus.

Explanation:

Endosymbiotic theory is a evolutionary theory which explains how eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic organisms.

Evidences of endosymbiotic theory are:

1. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are double membrane bound cell organelles. The inner membrane probably evolved from the plasma membrane of engulfed bacterium and outer membrane from the plasma membrane or endoplasmic reticulum of the host cell.

2. Almost similar size of mitochondria and chloroplast and bacteria and their ribosomes.

3. Cristae of mitochondria resemble the folded membranes is groups of bacteria.

4. Mitochondrion and chloroplast both have circular DNA similar to those of bacterial DNA.
