In humans the mitochondrial genome encodes a low number of proteins, r RNA s, and t RNA s but imports approximately 1100 proteins encoded by the nuclear genome. Yet, with such a small proportion from the mitochondrial genome encoding proteins and RNA s, a disproportionately high number of genetic disorders due to mt DNA mutations have been identified (Bigger, B. et al. 1999). What inheritance pattern would you expect in a three-generation pedigree in which the grandfather expresses the initial mtDNA defect? What inheritance pattern would you expect in a three-generation pedigree in which the grandmother expresses the initial mt DNA defect?

Consider darwin's first writings on the theory of natural selection. an important point of darwin's essay on the principle of population, written in 1798, was a peer's observation that in nature plants and animals produce far more offspring than can survive, this observation can be attributed to a) charles lyell. b) thomas malthus. c) jean-baptiste lamarck. d) johann friedrich meckel.

You decide that the introduction should also discuss the extremophiles that are referred to as the archaea. these single-cell organisms are considered "extremophiles" due to their ability to survive and reproduce in environmental conditions that would be hostile for most living organisms. archaea species have been isolated from highly acidic sulfur springs, ocean floor thermal vents with temperatures that exceed boiling, and subarctic ice well below freezing. while still considered to be prokaryotic, the archaea have numerous differences that place them apart from the bacteria. choose the characteristics that separate the archaea from other prokaryotic cells. select all that apply. view available hint(s) select all that apply. archaea lack true peptidoglycan in their cell walls. the morphology of the cell is rigid and is geometric in shape, similar to a sphere or cylinder. the cytoplasmic membrane lipids of archaea have branched or ringform hydrocarbon chains. all currently identified and characterized archaea have been linked as the causative agent to an animal or human disease.

What would most likely happen if green plants were exposed to longer days of sunlight? a. the mitochondria would produce less energy . b. the chloroplasts would produce more energy. c. the cell wall would become thicker. d. the vacuoles would quickly shrink.b. the chloroplasts would produce more energy.
