Answer:

Gene

Explanation:

The gene is a segment of a DNA molecule (deoxyribonucleic acid), responsible for the genetically inherited characteristics. Each gene is made up of a specific DNA sequence that contains a code to produce a protein that performs a specific function in the body. Each human cell has about 25,000 genes.

Most genes are contained in chromosomes. The chromosome is made up of a long chain of DNA wrapped around a special protein called histone. Most chromosomes contain several different genes.

What is "static pressure" in Hearing Science? <br><br> I will mark brainliest!
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

It has long been known that static pressure affects middle-ear function and conventional tympanometry uses variations in static pressure for clinical assessment of the middle ear. Middle-ear under-pressures tend to reduce the velocity magnitude more than do middle-ear over pressures.

The effect of middle-ear static pressure on the acoustic response of both structures is similar in that non-zero middle-ear static pressures generally reduce the velocity magnitude of the two membrane components in response to sound stimuli.

When a broth culture of bacillus begins to run out of nutrients, the cells?
Ahat [919]

Enter stationary phase of the bacterial growth curve. The rate of death of the bacteria is equaled by the rate of replication. This is due to the stiff competition of the individuals for the scarce nutrients. The bacteria begin to produce inhibitory molecules that also increase the rate of mutations among the bacteria due to the harsh environment.
