Answer:
DNA can be described as the molecules which carries the genetic code for every individual. The DNA is made up of nucleotide bases which join the two strands of DNA. The sugar and phosphate form the backbone of the DNA.
Genes are the hereditary molecules which are made up of DNA. The alleles of a gene represent which traits will be carried by an organism.
Chromosomes are made up of genes. During reproduction, crossing over of DNA occurs and alleles of the genes assort independently due to which variations occur.

Answer:
A) tortoiseshell female; black male
Explanation:
Females have two X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y chromosome.
<u>The possible genotypes and phenotypes are</u>:
- XᵒXᵒ: black female
- XᵒY: black male
- XᴼXᴼ: orange female
- XᴼY: orange male
- XᵒXᴼ: tortoiseshell female
<u>Cross of a black female and an orange male</u>
<h3>XᵒXᵒ x XᴼY</h3>
The female only produces Xᵒ gametes. The male produces Xᴼ and Y.
The possible offspring therefore is: XᵒXᴼ (tortoiseshell females) and XᵒY (black males). The answer is A.
OPTIONS:
a) Blood delivers calcium and phosphate ions that are needed for building bone extracellular matrix.
b) Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs.
c) Blood carries newly absorbed nutrients and water to the liver.
d) Blood circulates cells and chemicals that carry out immune functions.
e) Blood delivers clotting factors and WBCs that aid in hemostasis when skin is damaged
Answer:
b) Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs.
Explanation:
Options a, c, d, e are all true statements about the contributions of the cardiovascular system to other body systems except option b which states that “Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs”.
Actually, the cardiovascular system works together with the respiratory system to supply oxygen to body tissues as blood is circulated in the body, while carbon dioxide is removed from the body at the lungs. <em>In order words, carbon dioxide is removed, while oxygen is picked up as blood is transported through the capillaries of the lungs.
