Protected from the harmful effects of free radicals, often referred to as reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is a by-product of metabolic reactions of cells that use oxygen (aerobic respiration) to produce energy from carbohydrates (food). The problem with H2O2 is that it can be toxic to cells, due to its free radical properties, as an ROS. Organisms protect themselves from this by using an enzyme called peroxidase, also known as cayalase.

Would all pigs in a litter have the same father? what about non identical human twins or triplets
posledela

In the female pig reproductive cycle, more number of eggs are released during one ovulation cycle. That is why, the number of offsprings born is more. The father of the litter is same single animal only. Because the process of fertilization of sperms with the eggs released happen in a time duration of few hours only.

In case of humans as well, the father is same. This is because in human reproductive cycle, only one egg is released majorly, accept the case of fraternal twins where two eggs are released and both are fertilized by two different sperms, but again from the same father.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

D. Plasmids are nucleic acids which can pass on traits

Explanation:

A Nucleic acid is one of the four biomolecule polymers in living systems. It is made up of monomeric units called Nucleotides. RNA and DNA are the two nucleic acids in existence and they function in storage and expression of genetic information.

According to the question, a colony of bacteria that can break plastics were mixed with the colony that can't break plastics. The two different colonies engage plamids, which conferred the ability to break plastics to some of the colonies that previously couldn't. This tells us that the ability to break plastics in the certain bacteria colony is GENETIC.

If the trait is genetic, the plasmid must be a nucleic acid because of the ability to genetically pass on traits. Note that, a plasmid is an extra-chromosomal DNA (nucleic acid) capable of replicating on its own. Hence, plasmids are nucleic acids which can pass on traits.
