Prokaryotic Cells = do not have a nucleus; generally smaller and simpler that Eukaryotic cells.
-Smaller
-does NOT have a Nucleus
-translates to ‘no Nucleus’ OR ‘no true Nucleus’
-simpler
-they don't have all of their genetic material bound in a nucleus, which is why they are simpler forms of life.
-Prokaryotic cells do have genetic information but it is just stored differently
Ex: Bacteria and Single-Celled organisms
Eukaryotic Cells = Contains a Nucleus and are usually larger and more complex than a Prokaryotic cell
-Bigger
-DOES have a Nucleus
-More Complex
-Specialized to do certain things
Ex: All the Cells in a Human’s body. Skin cells, Red Blood cells
<span>The answer is a), all red, as no white alleles are present in the parents, [ and hence cannot be passed on to the offspring. Showing work- Let R represent the dominant (red) allele: RR(male) x RR(female) ----> All RR offspring.</span>
Cheetah is Carnivore
Tree is producer
The mushroom thingy is decomposer
Gazille is herbivore
Answer:
Here are the answers:
a. 4 Cell determination as an issue in the *rest is missing*
b. 4 They assumed that different ways of separating an embryo into two parts would be equivalent as far as the fate of the two parts was concerned.
c. 4 I and III only
Explanation:
The passage demonstrates the importance of two factors in the development of an embryo: cleavage planes of division of embryonic cells and cell differentiation.
Cleavage Planes:
Cleavage basically refers to the division of the zygote into a large number of cells called blastomeres. Cleavage planes are geometrical lines or orientations along which cleavage takes place. Since, all embryonic cells are the precursors of some type of body cells, the cleavage planes determine if the cells are adequate for growth and development.
Cell Differentiation:
Cell differentiation is the transition of an undifferentiated cell into a specialized one. For example, stem cells are undifferentiated cells that develop into progenitor cells that mature into a specific cell lineage. For an embryo to regenerate, the presence of adequate embryonic stem cells is crucial. Embryonic stem cells are present in abundance before the gastrulation phase of embryonic development, after which they rapidly start differentiating.
Answer:
Advanced forms of life existed on earth at least 3.55 billion years ago. In rocks of that age, fossilized imprints have been found of bacteria that look uncannily like cyanobacteria, the most highly evolved photosynthetic organisms present in the world today. Carbon deposits enriched in the lighter carbon-12 isotope over the heavier carbon-13 isotope-a sign of biological carbon assimilation-attest to an even older age. On the other hand, it is believed that our young planet, still in the throes of volcanic eruptions and battered by falling comets and asteroids, remained inhospitable to life for about half a billion years after its birth, together with the rest of the solar system, some 4.55 billion years ago. This leaves a window of perhaps 200-300 million years for the appearance of life on earth.
divine interventionThis duration was once considered too short for the emergence of something as complex as a living cell. Hence suggestions were made that germs of life may have come to earth from outer space with cometary dust or even, as proposed by Francis Crick of DNA double-helix fame, on a spaceship sent out by some distant civilization. No evidence in support of these proposals has yet been obtained. Meanwhile the reason for making them has largely disappeared. It is now generally agreed that if life arose spontaneously by natural processes-a necessary assumption if we wish to remain within the realm of science-it must have arisen fairly quickly, more in a matter of millennia or centuries, perhaps even less, than in millions of years. Even if life came from elsewhere, we would still have to account for its first development. Thus we might as well assume that life started on earth.
How this momentous event happened is still highly conjectural, though no longer purely speculative. The clues come from the earth, from outer space, from laboratory experiments, and, especially, from life itself. The history of life on earth is written in the cells and molecules of existing organisms. Thanks to the advances of cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, scientists are becoming increasingly adept at reading the text.
An important rule in this exercise is to reconstruct the earliest events in life's history without assuming they proceeded with the benefit of foresight. Every step must be accounted for in terms of antecedent and concomitant events. Each must stand on its own and cannot be viewed as a preparation for things to come. Any hint of teleology must be avoided.
