FALSE. Each hemoglobin molecule can transport four molecules of oxygen.
Hemoglobin, or Hb, is a protein molecule found in red blood cells (erythrocytes) made of four subunits: two alpha subunits and two beta subunits. Heme the component of hemoglobin responsible for binding oxygen consists of an iron ion that binds oxygen and a porphyrin ring that binds the globin molecules, one molecule binds one molecule of oxygen and can bind up to four oxygen molecules.
The main simple sugar found in fruit is Fructose. Glucose is found naturally occurring in fruits and other plants. But fructose is sweeter than glucose and can give you more energy. That's why a piece of fruit in the morning will give you more energy than a cup of coffee!
Fructose is what gives most fruits that sweet flavor and in combination with the acids present in certain fruits can give a pleasantly tangy flavor.
The basic unit of the nervous system is the Neurons.
The neuron is a single nerve cell, and you have billions of them.
There are three basic types of neurons::
1. Association,
2. Afferent and
3. Efferent.
The association neurons comprise the central nervous system (CNS) that is the brain and spinal cord.
The afferent neurons are also known as the sensory neurons, they bring the stimuli from the sensors (e.g., skin, eyes, ears) to the CNS.
The efferent neurons are also known as motor neurons, they bring the responses from the brain to the muscles and the glands.
Bacteria divided and reproduce by Binary fission. In this process, the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two replicates.
During most of the cell cycle, interphase, the chromosomes are somewhat less condensed and are not visible as individual objects under the light microscope. However during cell division, mitosis, the chromosomes become highly condensed and are then visible as dark distinct bodies within the nuclei of cells. The chromosomes are most easily seen and identified at the metaphase stage of cell division and most of the chromosome images in this gallery are pictures of metaphase chromomosomes.
The cell division takes place in mitosis stage.
"Glycolysis" means the splitting of glucose. The first step of the process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and yields a small amount of energy (measured in units of ATP) and two molecules of pyruvate.
The other steps occur in the mitochondria. It is an ongoing process as your cells have a constant need for energy.
Here crossing is AaBbCc x AaBbCc
As it is trihybrid cross,
we know, Number of zygotes formed =
Given ratio of offsprings = 1 : 6 : m : 20 : m : 6 : 1
Now, 1 + 6 + m + 20 + m + 6 + 1 = 64
34 + 2m = 64
2m = 30
=> m = 15.
Mutations are accidents in the copying of DNA. A genetic mutation is a random change in the DNA that is passed on further generations of cells and or organisms.
Genetic mutations are accidental changes in the DNA in the germ cells or early in the formation of the embryo. These changes if they are in the germ cell will be passed on to other organisms formed by sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction. An example would be the golden delicious apple. A lost of genetic information due to a mutation resulted in a different color of fruit.
Genetic mutations that cause diseases are not always passed on to offspring.
