Explanation:

Cell specialization is the differentiation of cells to perform very specific function. At the stage of cellular differentiation, the generic cells are transformed into very specialized cells.

Multicellular organisms have very complex body systems. They carry many different tasks. They have to move, find food, excrete, maintain balance within their body system and the environment etc.

To perform these tasks, cells must have specific functions because they would be in need of different materials to carryout the functions.

A unicellular organism performs very simple functions of life. They do not require complex biological processes to manufacture their food and carry out life activities.

Mitochondrial DNA can be traced for generations. It is because of the fact that unlike nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA rarely gets mutated. The frequency of mutations in the mitochondrial DNA is approximately one every 3,500 years per nucleotide. That is why mitochondrial DNA of a person is almost similar to his/her direct maternal ancestor. So, it can be used to match lineages amongst people.

Which process in eukaryotic cells will normally proceed whether O2 is present or absent?

9966 [12]

Answer:

b) glycolisis

Explanation:

Glycolisis precedes the Krebs cycle and can take place under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Under aerobic condition, energy is directed towards the Krebs cycle in the form of piruvate and NADH to create more ATP. Under anaerobic conditions piruvate does not enter the Krebs cycle and it is oxidized to produce lactate.
