Answer:

The student is wrong, spermatozoa are germinal cells and therefore mitochondrial mutations (likewise genomic nuclear mutations) are inherited by offspring

Explanation:

Although the probabilities of inheriting a mutation from a single sperm cell are low, it since an organism produces millions of sperm cells throughout its life span, the mutations in the germinal cells (i.e., sperms and ovules) are inherited by offspring

Explain why two oxygen atoms bond to a carbon atom to make a stable molecule of a carbon dioxide?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

When carbon attached to oxygen, they form covalent bonds, in these kind of bonds, atoms share electrons to acquire stability.

Atoms acquire stability when they have 8 electrons in their outermost shell.

When carbon share electrons with oxygen they acquire 8 electrons and they are stable.

See the picture below

Red is carbon and blue oxygen

Describe an example of a relationship between a cell organelle and a task that a cell must preform
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Protein Synthesis

Explanation:

DNA transcribes information into the RNA of the nucleus. Transcription is making copies of information from DNA and applying that information into a new format. The RNA first stays in the nucleus and then travels to the ribosome on the rough endoplasmic reticulum through the cytoplasm. Here the translation of RNA done. The information the DNA which was copied onto the RNA during transcription is translated into a sequence of amino acids in this stage. In the next step, the amino acid chains, or polypeptides, are constructed in the correct sequence to form proteins.

After synthesis of protein, a part of the rough endoplasmic reticulum takes off and separates to form a protein-filled vesicle. Then this vesicle travel to the Golgi complex where the protein is modified if needed and then repackaged into a new vesicle. The vesicles then carry out the protein to another organelle where it will be used within the cell or to the plasma membrane for secretion purposes.
