B) In the process of the citric cycle that occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, electrons from this chemical pathways move from one protein complex to another and are ultimately accepted by oxygen molecule in the formation a water molecule. Concomitantly, protons are transported to the intermembrane space. Accumulation of H+ ions in the mitochondrial membrane creates an electromotive force that is harnessed by ATP synthase to enable the phosphorylation of an ADP to ATP.


A)     A leaky membrane, therefore, would interfere with the accumulation of protons in the intermembrane space. This will reduce the electromotive force that is harness by the ATP synthase to produce ATP by phosphorylation of ADP. Consequently, this defective mitochondria will produce less ATPs than a healthy mitochondria.

Domestic horses have a greater diversity of coat colors than that of wild horses. The process that led to a greater diversity of
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

In this case, there are two varieties of horses: Domestic horses that are raised and bred by humans and Wild horses that lives in the wild. The issue of varieties in coat colour of domestic horses can be explained as what occured by selective breeding, also known as artificial selection which is a technique by which humans develop new offsprings with desirable and suitable characteristics. These breeders select two parents that possess beneficial phenotypic traits to mate, producing offsprings with those desired traits such as strength and also for coat colour as stated.

Virty [35]

Answer:

In studying the origin of the universe, one of the primary unanswered questions is <u>what came before the big bang.</u>

Explanation:

The big bang theory can be described as a theory which scientists have proposed to explain how the universe came into existence. This theory predicts how the extremely hot temperatures and dense atmosphere might have given rise to the stars and the galaxies.

Scientists have no idea what happened before the big bang theory. Some scientists predict that there might be another universe which collapsed before the big bang theory. While other scientists claim that there was nothing before the big bang.

tresset_1 [31]

Hello. This question is incomplete. Also, you forgot to show the flowchart. The flowchart is attached below and the full question is:

The flowchart below shows the three generations of a cross between a pea plant that has yellow pods and a pea plant that has green pods. Green pods are the dominant trait. The flowchart is missing the labels that describe the traits.

In which squares should the phrase “Green pods” appear?

1.A and D  2.B and E  3.A,C and D  4.A,B,C,D and E

Answer:

3.A,C and D

Explanation:

As shown in the question above, the flowchart shows the crossing of a pea plant with dominant features (green pods - AA) and a pea plant with recessive features (yellow features - aa). The crossing between plants with AA and aa alleles generates a completely Aa population, which in this case, has the dominant characteristic, that is, it has green pods. This is because the "Aa" alleles are called heterozygous and develop the dominant characteristic.

As we can see in the flowchart, the crossing between the two pea plants generated an offspring that is identified by table C, as we know this offspring has green pods and in the flowchart it is represented by a grayish rectangle. Therefore, we can say that the other gray rectangles represent pea plants with green pods, which are rectangles A, C and D.

What problem would most likely to occur if a haploid cell attempted to perform meiosis? the cell could not replicate its dna pri
Cerrena [4.2K]

The answer is; the cell could not pair homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

For meiosis to occur, the sister chromosomes pairs line up in the metaphase-plate so that each chromosome of the pair is pulled to the opposite pole by the spindle in anaphase. Therefore, meiosis can only occur in cells with normal ploidy so the ploidy halved by meiosis.

In order to make new nucleic acids your body needs food that contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen as well as
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The correct answer is option D, that is, nitrogen and phosphorus.  

Nucleic acids refer to the macromolecules comprising oxygen, hydrogen, phosphorus, and carbon. They are the small biomolecules or the biopolymers, playing an essential role in all the known forms of life.  

They comprise nucleotides that are the monomers formed of three constituents, that is, a 5-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group. If the sugar is obtained from ribose as deoxyribose, then the polymer is DNA, and if the sugar is a compound ribose, then the polymer is RNA.
