Which of the following is correct about eukaryotic cells?
they have a nucleus, they have a cell membrane, they are not found in plants.
The widest variety of genetic material that can be used by humans for future agricultural or medical research would most likely be found in?
A ecosystem having significant biodiversity
What are Professionals who help couples understand their chances of having a child with a particular genetic disorder are called?
A professional who helps people understand their chances of having a child with a genetic disorder is called a geneticist.
How is genetic material transferred from paremt to offspring?
The process is fertilization. Male and female gametes which are haploid each having the number of chromosomes or DNA, fertilize to form a zygote, which later turns to be embryo and then offspring.
Is having a straight hairline genetic?
Yes, as you may have a left-sided hairline or right, and whether hair loss is immenent is also genetic.
What are the differences about the prokaryotic and eukaryotic nucleus?
Eukaryotic nucleus is the true nucleus having nuclear membrane and genetic material is surrounded by nuclear membrane,whereas prokaryotic nuclear organelles or genetic material is present in the cytoplasm.
How is a prokaryotic cell similar to Los Angeles?
Instead of having it's genetic material in a membrane bound nucleus and having neatly compartmentalized membrane bound organelles the prokaryotic cell is one big sprawl.
What is the significance of organelles having their own genetic material?
That way the Helper-T cells know what type of cell the must turn into to replace old dead cells to keep the organelle healthy and whole. Otherwise the body would fall apart shortly after we were born and we would have wounds unhealed all our life.
What is the meaning of akaryotic?
Cells can be divided into two major groups, namely Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. In prokaryotes the genetic material is not bound by a membrane. The cells of eukaryotes have a nucleus with a nuclear membrane and organelles such as mitochondria, Golgi bodies etc. But, Akaryotes means it not having cellular organelles. Example for akaryotes is Virus. Viruses are not considered as a cell. It is a particle. It having a genetic material ( DNA or RNA) and protein coat. Example: Prokaryotic cell: Bacteria Eukaryotic cell : Plant cell, animal cell, algae etc Akaryotic : Viruses
Which of the following is correct about eukaryotic cells?
they have a nucleus, they have a cell membrane, they are not found in plants.
How are eukaryotes different from prokaryotes?
Eukaryotes are characterized by having a nucleus in their cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have this organelle, and their genetic material is located in the cell membrane instead.
What are the differences between human cells bacteria and viruses?
Simply put. Human cells are more complex eukaryotic cells with a membrane bound nucleus and many membrane bound organelles. Such as the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi body and lysosomes to name a few organelles. Bacterial cells are less complex prokaryotic cells with few organelles and no nucleus, just diffuse genetic material in a nucleoid region. Also having cell walls. Viruses are quite simple non-living collections of genetic material and protein coats. They prey on both bacteria and humans as parasites needing our reproductive mechanisms to reproduce themselves.
Which organelles outside the cell nucleus contain genetic information?
Both the mitochondria and chloroplasts (in plants) of eukaryotic cells contain their own genetic information. This is leftover from what is thought to be a symbiosis in early eukaryotic cells. It is assumed that these organelles were originally completely separate organisms, which found their way into larger organisms' cells due to the advantageous symbiotic relationship they could offer each other. Having compartments in cells turned out to be a massive evolutionary advantage, as it meant more complex, more specialised and more efficient reactions could take place in different organelles, where the conditions could be varied to suit the enzymes. Although much of the DNA (genetic material) that was originally in these organelles has now found its way into the host cell's nucleus with the rest of the cell's DNA, there is some still left in the organelles. Indeed, they still produce a few proteins themselves using this genetic material, but they also require the other proteins that are synthesised in the rest of the eukaryotic cell.
Name 2 cell organelles having DNA?
Chloroplasts and Mitochondria are the organelles having DNA.
What is the end results of sexual reproductions of meiosis?
A gamete is formed, which is a haploid (n=1): having half the amount of genetic material.
The widest variety of genetic material that can be used by humans for future agricultural or medical research would most likely be found in?
A ecosystem having significant biodiversity
What is the purpose of having membrane bound organelles?
to protect
