Biology Questions

The best example for somatic mutation would be cancer, familial cancer (which transmits through gametes to the next generation) are not so common while sporadic cancer is seen the most where body cells of a particular area goes through mutations for a number of years and becomes cancerous, but it is not transmitted to next generation.

Fat is completely digested in the small intestine of the body.

The only transport method that can move species against their concentration gradient i.e, from low to high concentration is called Active transport.

Facilitated diffusion only moves species down their concentration gradient i.e, from high to low concentration.

The three steps within the aerobic respiration process are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Photosynthesis builds glucose, and what was built in photosynthesis is broken down during aerobic respiration.

Hence, production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose is the main result of aerobic respiration.

Nucleoli are present during Interphase.

Chromosomes become visible during Prophase.

Centromeres divide and sister chromatids become full-fledged chromosomes during Anaphase.

Spindle fibers attach to kinetochores during Prometaphase.

Veins seen in the leaves, serve the function of Transpiration.

Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. 

Self pollination occurs in the flowers when the pollen grains of the flower falls on the stigma of the same due to wind or insects like moths and bees. This lead to the inbreeding.
