<span>The
mitochondria are famously known as the powerhouse of the cell since it is the
one that gives the cells energy that is also used by the human being. This energy conversion is called oxidative
phosphorylation. Mitochondria are found in eukaryotic cells, including
humans. These organelles also had its
own genome, or what we called as DNA which is known as mitochondrial DNA, or
mtDNA which is present in the mitochondrial matrix. The role of mtDNA or mitochondrial DNA is to
convert the energy from food into any other forms that it thinks the cell can
use. It is containing 37 genes which are
all necessary for a normal mitochondrial function.</span>
Answer:
cc × cc
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for plant seedling. The green allele (C) is dominant over the white allele (c). This means that the green allele will mask the phenotypic expression of the white allele in a heterozygous state (Cc).
In this experiment where plate 1 only contained white seedlings instead of all green, this illustrates that all the offsprings were recessive. This is because the parental genotypes were both recessive for the color trait i.e. cc.
Note that, the recessive trait can only be expressed when the recessive alleles are present in a gene. Therefore, the parental genotype would have been cc × cc, in order to give rise to all offsprings with the recessive trait (white colour).
Answer:
75years
Explanation:
Let the Father's age be represented by 2x
Let the Son's age be represented by x
Five years ago;
Man's age will be = 2x - 5
Son's age will be = x - 5
If the ratio of their ages five years ago was 9:4, then;
2x - 5/x-5 = 9/4
4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 5)
8x - 20 = 9x - 45
- Collect like terms
-20 + 45 = 9x - 8x
25 = x
Hence, the son's age = 25 years
If x = 25, the father's age (2x) will be 2 × 25 = 50years
The sum of their ages will be = 25years + 50years = 75years
