Answer:

its

Circulatory System

Transports nutrients, wastes, hormones, and gases

Digestive System

Extracts and absorbs nutrients from food, removes wastes, maintains water and chemical balances

Endocrine System

Regulates body temperature, metabolism, development, and reproduction, maintains homeostasis, regulates other organ systems

Urinary System/Excretory

Removes wastes from blood; regulates concentration of body fluids

Lymphatic

Defends against pathogens and disease

Integumentary System

Protects against injury, infection, and fluid loss; helps regulate body temperature

Muscular System

Moves limbs and trunk; moves substances through body; provides structure and support

Nervous System

Regulates behavior, maintains homeostasis; regulates other organ systems; controls sensory and motor functions

Reproductive System

Produces gametes and offspring

Respiratory System

Moves air into and out of the lungs; controls gas exchange between blood and lungs

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

In reproductive or sexual cells

Explanation:

There are two principal types of cells in the organism: Somatic diploid cells (2n) that reproduce by the process of mitosis, and germ cells that are diploid reproductive cells in charge of gamete production. These germ cells suffer both mitosis (to form more sexual cells) and meiosis (giving place to haploid gametes: sperm and egg cells, through the gametogenesis process). Both somatic cells and germinal cells will end their cycle becoming two daughter cells with the same genetic dotation.

Gametes from each parent will merge in the process of fecundation, during which a new diploid cell called a zygote emerges through fertilization. The zygote is a complete cell from the structural point of view that suffers successive mitosis to form the new organism.

Any cell in the organism might suffer mutation.

  • If the mutation occurs in the somatic cells, it will produce a population of identical mutated cells in that organism. However, this mutation in these cells is not inheritable. By definition, mutations in somatic cells do not inherit because these cells do not produce progeny.
  • If the mutation occurs in the germinal line, in the germ cells, or the sexual cells, this <u>mutation will pass to the offspring</u>. The organism with mutated germinal cells might express a normal phenotype, but this mutation will be detected in the progeny.

What happens in the process of transcription
dolphi86 [110]
During the process of transcription, a portion of a DNA molecule is used to create a mRNA Molecule. DNA stores genetic information in the nucleus of your cells. When RNA molecules are produced it happens inside the nucleus. The RNA molecule can then leave the nucleus and travel to ribosomes which are located in the cytoplasm and attached to endoplasmic reticulum. The RNA will be used to create proteins molecules.
