Nucleotides have specific sequences. When these codes/orders of nucleotides are translated, they code for amino acids, which in turn correspond to specific proteins being made. These proteins are responsible for carrying out various bodily functions.

Answer:

The correct answer will be the arrangement and sequence of nitrogenous bases in DNA.

Explanation:

DNA molecule is a large bio-molecule made up of monomer unit called nucleotides. Each nucleotide is made up of a 5C sugar (deoxyribose and ribose), a phosphate group and four nitrogenous bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine and uracil in RNA).

These nitrogenous bases are bonded to another base on the complementary strand via hydrogen bond and it is the sequence of the arrangement of these bases in the DNA which provides the nucleic acids with its coding behaviour.

These nitrogenous bases are read by the ribosome during the process of translation in triplets which are made of bases and are known as "codons" and codes for the specific amino acids in a polypeptide.

Thus, arrangement and sequence of nitrogenous bases in DNA is the correct answer.

describe the key observations that showed blending inheritance did not explain the inheritance of discrete traits.
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mendel's conclusions disproved blending inheritance because when cross breeding, only one trait, which is the dominant trait, will be shown instead of a blend of both traits. For each gene, how many alleles are inherited from one parent? For each gene, one alleles is inherited from each parent

c. Ecosystem science

Explanation:

<em>Sustainability is incorrect because it means the existence of resources for a long term.</em>

<em>Environmental science is incorrect because it is the branch of science that studies the processes and interactions that affect the environment.</em>

<em>Biodiversity science is incorrect because it is the study of various species that  occupy a particular area.</em>

The correct option is c. Ecosystem science is the study of community of living organisms, how they interact with themselves and with non-living components of the community.
