What organelle could you hypothesize occur in large numbers in muscle cells? A, nucleus
B, cell membrane
C, Chromosomes
D, mitochondria

D

Explanation:

it just is D

The organelle that is probably found in large numbers in muscle cells is the mitochondria (option D).

Explanation:

Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for energy synthesis in living organisms. In this organelle, oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport chain occur, culminating in the production of ATP.

Because the muscle cell is always in activity it has a high energy demand, so the mitochondria are the organelles that contain in large number.

the other options are not correct because:

    A. Nucleus is responsible for storing genetic information, and all cells contain one.

    B. Like the nucleus, all cells possess only one cell membrane.

    C. Chromosomes always have the same number in somatic cells.

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
