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 correct answer is:
Includes at least two groups, one of which does not receive the experimental treatment. (B)
Explanation:
A controlled experiment is made up of at least two groups of participants (subjects). One group (the test group) receives the experimental treatment, which can be an intervention or a new drug to be tested etc, and the effect of the treatment on the subjects is measured, while the second group of similar subjects also known as the control group acts as a baseline and do not receive the treatment or intervention. They act as a baseline to ensure that the change observed in the treatment group was brought about as a result of the treatment.
<em>Note that repeating the experiment several times does not ensure accuracy of the result, rather it ensures reliability of the results hence option D is not correct</em>
Answer:
Since sheep’s are herbivore, it can be inferenced they only eat plants. Due to the fact they only eat plants, means they are primary animals, and a have lots of predators. They have lots of predators due to the fact they are so low in the food chain, they are right above plants.
