In sexually reproducing organisms, mutations can be passed on to the organism's offspring if the mutation occurs in what

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is the germ cells.

Mutation can occur in any type of the cell - either germ cells or somatic cells. Germ cells give rise to the gametes. If the mutation occurs in these cells, the change will be present in gametes, too. This way mutation can be passed on to the next generation. On the other hand, somatic mutations (mutations in the somatic cells) are not passed on to the next generation.

Freshwater protists with two flagella that can be photosynthetic or heterotrophic are calledA. amoebas.
B. ciliates.
C. dinoflagellates.
D. euglenoids.

Answers

The correct answer should be euglenoids. This means that they can both produce food on their own using sun because they have chloroplasts and do photosynthesis, and they can feed on food produced by others if need be or if there's no exposure to sunlight. They are also known as Euglena and are very recognizable due to the whip that they have.

Review the numbered items below. Then, decide which of the following lists the correct steps of translation in the correct chronological order. I. UGA codon is identified.
II. DNA is unwound to expose a single template strand.
III. tRNA molecules carrying various amino acids bond to mRNA based on the sequence of mRNA codons.
IV. mRNA arrives at the ribosome
V. Introns are snipped out of an mRNA molecule.
V. tRNA, carrying methionine amino acid, bind to mRNA.

Answers

Answer:

IV, VI, III, I

Explanation:

Translation is the process of synthesis of protein from with the help of messenger RNA (mRNA).

The process of translation include initiation, elongation and termination.

Initiation: In this step mRNA binds to ribososomes and tRNA, carrying start codon or methionine binds to mRNA.
Elongation:In this step, the tRNA molecules carrying several amino acid bind to mRNA based on the sequence of mRNA codon and then moves (translocates) to the next mRNA codon which leads to amino acid chain.
Termination: At the end, when a stop codon (UGA) identified, polypeptide is released.

So, the correct chronological order is IV, VI, III, I.

Which part of the neuron receives electrical impulses and is made of branched fibers? a. myelin sheath b. node of ranvier c. axon d. dendrites

Answers

Answer:Dendrites

Explanation:

dendrites
Most neurons possess these branch-like extensions that extend outward away from the cell body. These dendrites then receive chemical signals from other neurons, which are then converted into electrical impulses that are transmitted toward the cell body.
