“Scientific knowledge can only advance when all scientists systematically use the same process to discover and disseminate new information. The advantage of all scientific research using the Scientific Method is that the experiments are repeatable by anyone, anywhere.”
D. determined by its temperature
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Whereas segregational petites exhibited Mendelian inheritance, both neutral and suppressive petites followed non-Mendelian patterns that were consistent with the involvement of an extranuclear agent
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- Mutations that yield defective mitochondria are expected to make cells grow much more slowly. These mutants were called petites to describe their small colonies compared to large wild type colonies.
- Petite mutants could not grow when cells had an energy source requiring only metabolic activity of mitochondria - needed sugar as well which is part of glycolytic pathway.
- Segregational petites, segregated in mendelian manner during meiosis. mutations cause defects in genes in cell nucleus encode proteins necessary for mitochondrial function.
- Vegetative petite mutants do not segregate in mendelian manner; two types: neutral and suppressive; carry mutations in mitochondrial genome itself; when two yeast cells are mated, daughter cells inherit mitochondria from both parents.
- Neutral petites lack most of their mitochondrial DNA; when mated with wildtype, the wildtype give their mitochondria so all cells display a normal phenotype.
It contracts on its own without input. The answer is C.
Hope that helped you.
B. Mitochondria
The mitochondria is where ATP is made, hence why it is often called the "powerhouse" of the cell.
