Answer:

D. Meiosis is the only source of genetic variation for sexual reproduction

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is the form of reproduction that involves two parent organisms which produce gametes or sex cells that unite while asexual reproduction involves only one parent to occur. One advantage of sexual over asexual reproduction is that there is room for genetic VARIATION among offsprings produced.

However, this genetic variation occurs in sexual reproduction as a result of a process called CROSSING OVER in MEIOSIS. Meiosis is the only division that produces gametes in living organisms and it only occurs in sexually reproducing organisms.

Identify the model that best represents the plasma membrane of a hypothetical cell that exists in a nonaqueous environment and w

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The models are missing in the question. The models along with the question is provided in the attachment below.

The answer is : Model A represents the Plasma membrane.

Explanation:

According to the question, model A represents the plasma membrane. The reasons are :

(a). In the model A, the bilayers consists of two leaflets of the amphipathic lipid molecules. Here the polar head groups is in contact with the intra cellular or the extra cellular non aqueous phase, where the non polar tails are facing each other constituting the hydrophobic interior of the membrane.

(b). Lipid are not rigid as well as static structure. In the lipid bilayer, the lipid molecule are able to rotate around their axis freely and diffuse laterally with each leaflet.

(c). The plasma membrane acts as the selective plasma membrane.

Answer:

Nucleic acids

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are one of the the four major biological molecules in living systems (the other three being; carbohydrate, protein, and lipids). Nucleic acid is a biological polymer that is made up of monomeric units called NUCLEOTIDES.

Nucleotides, are monomers of nucleic acids that consists of a 5-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), nitrogenous base (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine/Uracil) and a phosphate group (PO34-). Ribonucleic acid (RNA) are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are the two types of nucleic acids.
