Genes

Segments of Dna transferred from parent to offspring are called genes.

Genes are small segments of DNA that codes for a certain molecule, usually a protein that has a function, and is required in an organism. The main function of genes is to store information. Genes are transferred from parent to offspring, and are responsible for determining some characteristics such as skin, and hair color of the offspring. Genes occur in different or alternate forms, known as alleles.

Describe the internal structures of eukaryotic cells
DedPeter [7]
Eukaryotic cells are larger than prokarotic cells and have a true nucleus membrane bound organelles and rod shaped chromosomes.The nucleus houses the cells DNA and directs the synthesis of proteins and ribosomes.Mitochondria are responsible for ATP production the endoplasmic reticulum modifies proteins and synthesizes lipids and the golgi apparatus is where the sorting of lipids and proteins takes place.

The head of a phospholipid interacts with water because it is
Delvig [45]
Hydrophilic

A phospholipid is comprised of a phosphate hydrophilic head, which means that it is "water-loving," and a fatty acid hydrophobic tail, which is "water-hating." The head and the tail are joined together by a glycerol molecule. 

The phosphate head is attracted to water because it is charged (i.e. negatively). Water is a polar molecule, which means that there is an uneven distribution of charges within its molecular structure with the oxygen side being "more negative" than the rest of the atom (which is "more positive" near the hydrogen). Thus, the negatively-charged nature of the phosphate head and the parts of the water molecule which are positively charged enable the two to form an "attraction" towards one another. 

On the other hand, the hydrophobic tail is nonpolar, which means that it does not have a "more positive" or "more negative" side or part in its molecular structure. These differences in structure with water make the hydrophobic tail unattracted to water molecules and more attracted to other uncharged, nonpolar molecules (such as fats and oils).
