Teleomeres are absent in prokaryotes because
a) prokaryotes are single celled and cannot age.
b) the circular chromosome in prokaryotes has no end.
c) plasmids have the same function in prokaryotes.
d) prokaryotes lack telemerase.
Option b is correct. Teleomeres are absent in prokaryotes because the circular chromosome in prokaryotes has no end. Telomeres are found in eukaryotes as they have linear DNA which tends to deteriorate every division. Thus, the function of telomere is to prevent the shortening of the chromosome ends and their from fusion with neighboring chromosomes.

1) Cells are _. (1pts) only found in pairs, because single cells cannot exist independently limited in size to 200 and 500 micrometers in diameter characteristic of eukaryotes but not prokaryotes characteristic of eukaryotes and prokaryotes 2) In comparison to eukaryotes, prokaryotes_ pts) are more structurally complex are larger are smaller do not have membranes 3) A localized group of organisms that belong to the same species is called a pts) community population ecosystem family 4) When a person gets...

Question 17 Polycistronic RNA in prokaryotes allows translation of different polypeptides because • there are multiple RNA polymerases that read the transcript a. • multiple ribosomes can attach consecutively on the same mRNA molecule b. • there are several open reading frames corresponding to a single gene transcript • chaperones help the newly-emerging polypeptides fold correctly d.
Question 6 Amoeba, a single celled protist, has a specialized structure called a contractile vacuole whose function is to collect excess water from the cell and discharge this water into the environment. From this information you can deduce that Amoeba lives in an environment that is (hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic) to the cytoplasm of Amoeba. Thus, you would expect to find Amoeba living in: A. a freshwater pond B. the ocean C. Great Salt Lake D. a bottle of unpasteurized milk...
