Answer;

-Gene

A specific stretch of DNA that programs the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide is a gene.

Explanation;

-Genes are a section of DNA that are in charge of different functions like making proteins.Genes are responsible for all aspects of life. Long strands of DNA with lots of genes make up chromosomes. DNA molecules are found in chromosomes.

-Each gene occupies a specific position on a chromosome. Because genes provide instructions for making proteins, and proteins determine the structure and function of each cell in the body, it follows that genes are responsible for all the characteristics you inherit.

The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the hereditary material present in an organism. The DNA is divided into different segments, which codes for specific traits.

The stretch of the DNA, which codes for a specific sequence of amino acids is known as gene. The gene is the basic functional unit of the hereditary, and codes for a specific protein (not all the genes are involved in protein formation).

Hence, the given blank can be filled with gene.

Blood plasma is filtered in the __________.
ziro4ka [17]

The Kidneys.

The plasma passes through the kidney where it is filtered, a special filtration unit called "glomeruli" and then excreted as a low molecular weighted product into the urine. The purpose of our urine is to secrete waste products from the body. So you can see how the glomerular filtration mechanism of the kidneys plays a major role in the function of our bodies. The primary function of our kidneys is to filter out all the "bad stuff" in lamest terms.

What evidence for the age of the Earth is indicated by the fact that sedimentary rock is found on mountain tops? that the Earth
Ket [755]

The correct answer is - That some force lifted the rocks from the water.

The fact that there's sedimentary rocks on the tops of the mountains is an evidence that there has been some force that managed to lift upwards parts of the seafloor. Taking into consideration how slowly this force manages to lift up parts of the Earth, we can easily assume that the Earth is very old. The amount of time that is needed for a part of the seafloor to be lifted few thousand meters upwards is counted in tens of millions of years, thus giving us evidence that the Earth has been around for a very long time.
