Answer: D. Gradually, as generations of elephants continued to selectively use and develop their trunks.

Explanation: Lamarck believed that organisms pass on traits to their offspring that they had acquired through use or diuse during their lifetime.  In this example, the theory would be that over time, elephants used their trunks in such a way that they became long and powerful.

Which of the following characteristics, structures, or processes is common to both bacteria and viruses? A. Metabolism B. Riboso
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

C. Genetic material composed of nucleic acid

Explanation:

The information needed by every organism to perform life functions like reproduction, growth etc are held in the genetic material that the organism carries in its genome. Every genetic material of organisms is composed of nucleic acids, which are only two in nature i.e. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This is a common feature of all organisms including bacteria and viruses that they contain genetic material which must be in form of a nucleic acid.

The viruses do not undergo a cell division, neither do they contain protein synthesis structures called Ribosomes because they do not have the ability to reproduce or perform any living process outside a living host cell. This means that they strictly depend on another organism's transcriptional, translational, replicational ability to survive.

Which describes the statements that Schwann and Schleiden would make?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Schleiden and Schwann proposed spontaneous generation as the method for cell origination, but spontaneous generation (also called abiogenesis) was later disproven. Rudolf Virchow famously stated “Omnis cellula e cellula”… “All cells only arise from pre-existing cells

A hypothesis states that all mutations leading to hemophilia occur within the Factor VIII gene. Which of the following pairs of
Pavel [41]

Answer:

C. II and IV only

Explanation:

X linked recessive inheritance follows the criss-cross pattern in which affected mothers always have affected sons as sons get their X chromosome from mothers only. Condition "II" can not be true for X linked inheritance as hemophiliac mothers (XhXh) should have hemophiliac sons (XhY) only.

Daughters get one copy of their X chromosome from the father and the other from mother. To have affected daughters, mother should be carrier or hemophiliac and the father should be hemophiliac (XhY). This would make it possible for both the parent to transmit one copy of X chromosome with the gene to daughters (XhXh).

Energy in ___ is absorbed by an electron in a photocenter. This energy is converted from light energy into chemical energy into
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy in _SUNLIGHT__ is absorbed by an electron in a photocenter. This energy is converted from light energy into chemical energy into kinetic energy as the energized electron is used in back to back REDOX reaction in the electron transport chain, ETC. The ETC creates _AN ENERGY GRADIENT__ which is used by the cell to power the formation of ATP. In _CYCLIC PHOSPHORYLATION__ (cyclic or noncylcic) the electron returns to the photocenter. In _NON-CYCLIC PHOSPHORYLATION__ (cyclic or non-cyclic), the electron reduces NADP+ to form _NADPH__.

Photophosporylation is the process of using light (photo) to produce ATP from ADP (phosphorylation i.e. addition of phosphorous). There are two types: cyclic and non-cyclic phosphorylation.

In non-cyclic phosphorylation, there are two photosystems (photocenter) involved, and electron is passed to NADP+.

In cyclic phosphorylation,  one photosystem is involved and the electron is not transferred to NADP+, it is circled back to the photosytem.

The reduced form of NADP+ is NADPH. (Remember that: reduction is defined as the addition of hydrogen)
