Functionality of Genes and chromosomes is described below.
Explanation:
- Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes.
- Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.
- A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.Every normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
- A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is often determined by more than one gene.Some traits are caused by mutated genes that are inherited or that are the result of a new gene mutation.
- The body produces thousands of different enzymes. Thus, the entire structure and function of the body is governed by the types and amounts of proteins the body synthesizes. Protein synthesis is controlled by genes, which are contained on chromosomes.
- the genotype is a complete set of instructions on how that person’s body synthesizes proteins and thus how that body is supposed to be built and function.
- The phenotype is the actual structure and function of a person’s body. The phenotype is how the genotype manifests in a person—not all the instructions in the genotype may be carried out (or expressed). Whether and how a gene is expressed is determined not only by the genotype but also by the environment (including illnesses and diet) and other factors, some of which are unknown.
- A karyotype is a picture of the full set of chromosomes in a person’s cells.
Answer:
The osprey card and its description should be placed in the heterotrophs group.
Explanation:
Organisms that can synthesize inorganic substances, such as light, and turn it into food according to their own needs are <u>producers</u>, and they are called a<u>utotrophic organisms</u>. These organisms are by excellence all <u>plants</u>, that <u>photosynthesize</u>. Organisms that are incapable of producing their food are called <u>heterotrophic organisms</u>. They <em>depend on other organisms</em> from the trophic chain such as plants or other animals to feed on, so they can get proteins and energy.
In the trophic chain, heterotrophic organisms occupy the <u>first, second or third consumer level</u>, after producers.
There are different types of heterotrophic animals: carnivorous, herbivorous, omnivorous, hematophagous, ichthyophagous, and etcetera. All of them depend on autotrophic organisms.
Meiosis would result in the formation of gametic cells
