Answer:

DNA

Explanation:

Experiments such as the one by Frederick Griffith in 1928 showed that DNA is the hereditary molecule. How showed that virulent bacterial species could transfer DNA to avirulent species and make them virulent too. This means that DNA determines the characteristic of the individual and can be passed down or across generations.

Answer:

Molecule which called the molecule of hereditary is DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid,the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms,Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus.

Explanation:

The genetic information that make persons are different from each other and transform from parents to offspring by a process called heredity, this information stored in DNA as a code made up of four chemical bases:

adenine (A)
guanine (G)
cytosine (C)
thymine (T)

DNA bases pair up with each other to form units called base pairs:

A with T

C with G

Each base is also attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule.

Base+ sugar molecule+phosphate= Nucleotide.

The DNA is consists of nucleotide that arranged in two long strands that form a spiral called a double helix as in figure

DNA can replicate (make copies of it self), and this is very important during cell division, because the new cells need to have new DNA.

How does cardiorespiratory endurance affect your daily life

aliina [53]

Cardiorespiratory endurance is the body's ability to carry out strenuous tasks such as exercise while maintaining adequate oxygen supply to the muscle and organ cells. This means that a person with high cardiorespiratory endurance will be able to carry out strenuous tasks more easily, while someone with less endurance is more likely to fail.
More importantly, a high endurance of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems helps prevent heart disease in individuals, which improves a person's overall health.

Frog lungs are poorly developed. How does this relate to their skin being thin and moist

geniusboy [140]

It relates to it because the frogs can breathe through their skins. We can too but it's not developed because we don't need it, but skin has pores for perspiration as well and transpiration. Frogs however don't have developed lungs like we do so they get a lot of the oxygen using their skins because they had to develop this system or they would not exist today.
