The answer to the above question is alleles.

<h3>What are Alleles?</h3>

The two nucleic acids in living things that are employed for conveying and storing genetic information are RNA and DNA. The genetic material in living things is called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and it contains sections coding for beneficial proteins and products as well as carrying genetic information from one generation to the next. These chunks are referred to as genes.

However, genes also have a different form that is in charge of the genetic diversity in the qualities they are coding for. Allele refers to a gene's alternative or variant version. In a diploid creature like the human, each trait is encoded by genes that include contrasting pairs of alleles, allowing variation for that specific trait, i.e. two alleles for each gene. For instance, a gene with two alleles that codes for one of the human height traits includes the short variety (t) and the tall variety (T).

HACTEHA [7]
Francis Crick: helped in the development of helical diffraction theory which was helpful in the understanding of the structure of dna, he also worked with James Watson in discoveries the double helix structure of dna. He also demonstrated that a group of three nucleotide bases on a single dna strand code for one specific amino acid.

Rosalind Franklin: using the x- ray diffraction created images of dna, which was later used by Watson and crick to determine the structure of dna.

James Watson: he helped deduce the structure of dna, along with crick.

Maurice Wilkins: it was his idea to use X-ray crystallography techniques to study dna.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Glycerol and fatty acids are the basic building blocks of fats (lipids). Fats are the product of the esterification of the trivalent alcohol glycerol with fatty acids of different lengths (between 12 and 20 carbon atoms). Two important representatives of the lipids are triglyceride (90% of fats) and cholesterol.
