Some of these species are;

<em>Streptococcus</em> <em>sanguinis</em>

<em>Streptococcus</em> <em>oralis</em>

<em>Streptococcus</em> <em>gordonii</em>

Gingiva is a tissue covering the upper and lower jaws at the base of the teeth. Streptococcus gingivitis is known to be an acute inflammation of the oral mucosa.

brilliants [131]

Answer: The given statement is True.

Gene can be described as the segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid), which codes for a particular protein. The protein thus formed, corresponds to a specific trait ( such as skin color, hair color, color of eye) of the individual organism.

They possess set of  instructions for making a protein in the form of nucleotide sequences. Gene undergo transcription to form mRNA ( messenger RNA), which is then converted into particular protein through translation.
