Answer:

The correct answer is option A) "Sequence of bases".

Explanation:

Even though DNA most of the time is comprised entirely of only four different nucleotide bases (adenine, thymine, guanosine and citosine), it is the sequence of these bases that allows DNA to carry a vast amount of hereditary information. The genes that carry the hereditary information are translated according to the sequence of the DNA bases. The information is translated by triplets of bases (codons) that correspond to different amino acids that are added to new synthesized proteins during translation.

Human dna has two types of chromosomes. what are these two types, and how do they differ from each other? would you expect both
Alex73 [517]

Yes, Human DNA have two types of chromosomes that are Autosome and Allosomes/ Heterosomes

Human Chromosomes are Found:

Before cell division, chromosomes are widely distributed and challenging to find. The chromosomes may be observed clearly during cell division, photographed, and their morphology, size, and shape analyzed. Autosomes and sex chromosomes are two groups of chromosomal types. Below is an explanation of these types:

The autosomes

The structures that house the genetic material are called autosomes. They do not include details about reproduction and sex identification. The male and female species of humans are the same in both sexes. In humans, there are 46 (2n) chromosomes. There are 44 pairs of autosomes among the 46 chromosomes, and they each provide data on the phenotypic traits.

Heterosomes and allosomes

The size, shape, and behavior of the sex chromosomes known as allosomes differ from those of autosomes. In humans, there are two allosomes. The sperm can include either the X or Y chromosome, and the X chromosomes are present in the ovum. These chromosomes aid in determining the progeny's sex. If both the mother and the father contributed an X chromosome, the child would be female (XX). A male child is born if the offspring inherits one X chromosome and one Y chromosome from the parents (XY). Simply said, the father's donation of an X or Y chromosome aids in determining the gender of the child.

Answer:

renewable is one that can be used repeatedly and does not run out because it is naturally replaced. A renewable resource, essentially, has an endless supply such as solar energy, wind energy, and geothermal pressure

Nonrenewable is a natural substance that is not replenished with the speed at which it is consumed. It is a finite resource. Fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal
