Answer:
The options have been placed in the comment section. The answer is C. Inheritance of genes from both parents
Explanation:
Gregor Mendel is referred to as the FATHER OF GENETICS due to his immense contribution to the discovery of how traits are passed down or inherited from parents to offsprings. He found out that a unit of inheritance, which was later called GENE, was responsible for each individual trait of pea plants.
In his numerous experiments, Mendel discovered that the characteristics/traits of pea plants were determined by the contribution of both parents. Mendel hypothesized that each parent contributed 50% of this unit of inheritance via fertilization to the characteristics of an offspring. Hence, the inheritance of genes from both parents determines the characteristics of a pea plant.
Both light-dependent and light-independed reactions of photosynthesis are similar in a way because they both require chemical energy to proceed.
Photosynthesis occurs in two successive stages. These stages are:
1) The light-dependent reactions
2) The light-independent reactions
The light dependent reactions absorb energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy. The chemical energy produced (ATP) by the light-dependent reactions is used by the light-independent reactions for it to function properly. The remaining chemical energy (ADP) in the light-independent reactions is returned to the light-dependent reactions to obtain more energized electrons.
Answer:
D. The virus uses the host cell to make new viral parts.
Explanation:
The virus is an organism that is incapable of replicating on its own without a living host cell. It needs to infect a living cell in order to reproduce. The infection cycle of a virus is the replication cycle. Viruses employ two major infection cycles: LYTIC or LYSOGENIC cycles.
In the lytic cycle, the virus initially attaches to specific receptor sites on the host cell membrane. It then penetrates the host cell and incorporate its genetic material into the host cell's genome. It employs the host's ability to express its genes and replicate to express its genes and make new proteins. At the end of the LYTIC cycle, new viral particles (virions) are produced and released by lysis of the host cell.
