Answer:
B. ...includes methods like metagenomics, which sequence and interpret all the DNA in an environmental sample.
Explanation:
Environmental microbiology is the science in charge of the study of microorganisms, small living things known as microbes. Study organisms that are only visible through a microscope, such as prokaryotic and simple eukaryotic organisms.
Metagenomics is the study of a collection of genetic material from a mixed community of organisms. Metagenomics usually refers to the study of microbial communities. It is generally used when studying microbial communities in which one microorganism cannot be separated from another.
Hi,
Harshey and Chase did a great experimentation which was basically a two step experiment to prove that DNA and not proteins are the actual carriers of genetic information from parents to offspring.
- In the first part of their experiment, they used bacteriophages (virus that eat bacteria). They used radioactively labeled sulphur(35S) medium to grow bacteriophages and observed that all the bacteriophages had proteins with radioactive sulphur(35S).
- In the next step they allowed these phages to infect bacteria and to their surprise, they found that the bacteria did not had radioactively labeled sulphur in them because the coat of bacteriophage stays outside the body of bacteria when it attacks it. This proved that DNA not proteins were the hereditary material.
- To make their results more reliable, they did a second experimentation in which, they marked the DNA of the phage with radioactive phosphorus 32P. After labeling DNA, they repeated the same experiment and this time, they found radioactive phosphorus inside the bacteria.
<em>This meant that the bacteria had DNA of phage entered inside them and this again proved that DNA not proteins are the hereditary material. You can see attached image for better understanding.

Fibre is a carbohydrate that the body can not digest or assimilate
There are two types of fibre: soluble fibre and insoluble fibre with complementary health benefits.
<span>Fibre that soluble can bind to bile and cholesterol and pull it out of circulation. this can help to decrease blood cholesterol.</span>
Answer:
The correct option is D. Genes determine the trait of an organism.
Explanation:
Option D is correct because genes can be described as the hereditary molecules that determine the characteristics of a person.
Option A is false because each gene is made up of different nucleotide sequences.
Option B is false because genes do not occur as the same number of chromosomes. Rather, there are many genes present on a single chromosome.
Option C is false because all genes are not located in a specific location. Each gene has its specific location on the chromosome which is known as its locus.
Option E is false because genes are not units of RNA. Genes are made up of DNA.
