Answer:
a.Many mitochondrial genes resemble proteobacteria genes, while the genes in the chloroplast resemble genes found in some photosynthetic bacteria.
c.Mitochondria and chloroplasts both have their own circular DNA and 70S ribosomes that are similar to those found in bacteria.
d.Mitochondria and chloroplasts replicate by a process similar to mitosis.
Explanation:
Endosymbiotic theory states that mitochondria and chloroplast which are organelles of eukaryotic cells were once independently living micro-organisms but with due course of time eukaryotic cells engulfed them and they become an integral part of these eukaryotic cells.
The resemblance between mitochondrial genes with those of proteobacteria and chloroplast genes with photosynthetic bacteria strongly support endosymbiotic theory. Apart from this, the presence of their own DNA that too circular just like prokaryotic microbes and 70 S ribosomes also support this theory. Also just like prokaryotic cells, before cell division mitochondria and chloroplasts undergo replication by means of a process known as binary fission.
Answer:
c. number and variety of organisms vs. changing environment
Explanation:
In an ecosystem populations are in dynamic equilibrium with each other, for when a population decreases the population of its predators also decreases, because the various populations are dependent on each other for survival. What we can understand from this is that the diminishing population of a species has caused a change in the environment, making that environment unsuitable for the predator population.
In other words, dynamic equilibrium occurs when the size of a population of a species varies with changes in the environment in which they live. For this reason we can state that the number and variety of organisms vs. changing environment best indicates the dynamic balance of an ecosystem.
Answer:
64.
Explanation:
It is 64 because there are 20 amino acids with four bases ( A,T,C and G).
and genetic code can be read in triplets and also the four bases can occupy the positions. Eachh amino acid can be coded by the triplet codons. A triplet codon shows three nucleotides of the mRNA template that can code for amino acid
Therefore the number of codons is 4×4×4= 64.
