how is the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) transferred from generation to generation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

maternal mtDNA

Explanation:

While nothing but the haploid nucleus remains of the sperm during fertilisation, the ovum still has its mitochondria and other organelles. Mitochondria are capable of division and will divide according to cell's needs.

So it is the maternal mtDNa that gets passed on. Spontaneous mutations can happen at any point ofcourse and get passed on in the same way.

How do T-cells help with destroying viruses?

Answers

They secrete chemical messages known as cytokines to stimulate the non-specific immune response to continue, to strengthen and to boost appropriate specific responses.

Answer:T-cells are a type of white blood cell that work with macrophages. Unlike macrophages that can attack any invading cell or virus, each T-cell can fight only one type of virus. You might think this means macrophages are stronger than T-cells, but they aren’t. Instead, T-cells are like a special forces unit that fights only one kind of virus that might be attacking your body.The T-cell receptor fits with its antigen like a complex key. When the perfectly shaped virus antigen on an infected cell fits into the Killer T-cell receptor, the T-cell releases perforin and cytotoxins. ... Cytotoxins go directly inside the cell through this pore, destroying it and any viruses inside.
