Answer;
Genes
The code for heredity is carried on genes in each organism's DNA.
Explanation;
Genes are portions of the genome that codes for a protein or an RNA, Hereditary information that is contained in nucleotide sequence of DNA. The coded information is copied into RNA (through transcription process) and translated into chains of amino acids which eventually link together to make proteins. The hereditary information is passed from one generation to another.
Cells are the smallest unit of life. This is true.
Cells are important to the structure and function of living things. This is true.
All organisms are made of multiple cells. This is false, because there are many single celled organisms like bacteria.
Cells come in different shapes and sizes. This is true, as there are cells with a variety of shape and size (round shaped cocci and the elongated and flat bacillus). There are cells from squid's nervous system, called the neurons, that are comparatively very large in size than the vast majority of the other cells.
Nitrification. The conversion of ammonium to nitrate is performed primarily by soil-living bacteria and other nitrifying bacteria. In the primary stage of nitrification, the oxidation of ammonium ( NH+4) is performed by bacteria such as the Nitrosomonas species, which converts ammonia to nitrites ( NO−2).
Answer: Excessive movements of the walls of the abdomen
Basically babies belly breathe, that is they undergo abdominal pattern of respiration( instead of the abdomino- thoracic pattern in adult), through their abdomen.
<u>This is because, their thoracic walls are not fully functional to undergo the normal adult mechanisms of breathing</u>.
<u>The ribs are short in length due to incomplete ossification. They curve out wards, at low angle, their sternum, is shaped horizontally.</u>
These features reduce the activities of the inter coastal muscles and the thoracic cage in the mechanism of infants breathing,compare to the long ribs, obliquely shaped rib cage, with lower sternum of adult which permit the abdominal-thoracic breathing pattern.
Therefore ,when the diaphragm distends during breathing ,its movement pushes the organs of the abdomen down; because infants have rapid respiratory rates, the distends created rapid expansion and contraction of the walls of the abdomen to gain enough abdominal pressure.
This together with the movement of organs of the abdomen from the pathways of diaphragm created the excessive movements of the abdominal walls. This rapid abdominal wall movements creates discomfort and distress for the infant during this mechanisms.
