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.

What is the accumulation of differences between species or populations?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: Divergence evolution or divergent selection

Explanation:

The divergent evolution/divergent selection can be defined as the process of accumulation of differences between the related populations lies within the species. This process leads to speciation.

This occurs when the two populations of the same species get separated by a geographic barrier. The separated members of the same species experience different selective pressure that are responsible for adaptation in the new environment.

a_sh-v [17]
(D) Both perform photosynthesis is the observation that led researchers to propose that chloroplasts evolved from cyanobacteria.
Chloroplasts is the area where photosynthesis takes place. It is a green organelle in a plant cell. Pigments called the chloros in a chlorophyll are needed for the photosynthesis.
Cyanobacteria or blue-gree algae contains a blue photosynthetic pigment and a chlorophyll for photosynthesis.

How many hydrogen atoms can bind to one carbon atom?
Damm [24]

I think that the question is not clear enough. Can you be more specific?

If your question was something like this: how many atoms of hydrogen can be around carbon, then the answer is 4. Carbon forms 4 bonds with other atoms.

Please note that carbon need not always form bonds to four atoms. A carbon could form a double bond with an oxygen and then two single bonds to hydrogen atoms. The carbon is only bonded to three atoms, but is forming a total of four bonds (1 double and 2 singles).

Explain how bacterial cloning can help increasing the amount of DNA (DNA amplification) and when it is implemented in science or
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The process of gene cloning involve multiple steps. It involves many enzymes, bacterial cell, vector to produced an amplified number of cell and hence product.

The gene of interest is find and then it is carried into the bacterial cell by the help of vector.

The vector is then carried to get incorporated into the bacterial cell. In this way the bacterial cell starts replicating and the and the desired product is produced in high amount.
