What is a chromosome? ( In simple terms please)

Biology

ratelena [41]3 years ago

Well the definition in an actual dictionary or scientific book is quite confusing, so to put it simply:
A chromosome is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.

If that makes any sense.
That’s really as simple as I know it.
Chromosomes are complex, so a simple definition doesn’t come easy.
Happy to help!

If a cell is placed inside a solution that has a higher concentration of solute than on the inside of the cell, what can be said
Zolol [24]
WATER WILL MOVE OUT OF THE CELL CAUSING IT TO SHRIVEL. This is because, the more solute a solution contain, the less its probability of crossing a semi permeable membrane into another compartment, this then result in the net flow of water from the region of lower solute concentration to the region of higher solute concentration. Thus, water will flow out of the cell which has lower solute concentration into the surrounding solution which has higher concentration. The outflow of water will make the cell to shrivel.

What does the theory of natural selection state
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The theory of natural selection was proposed by Charles Darwin, which states the mechanism of biological evolution by explaining <u>adaptation and speciation.</u> There was five observation of the theory of natural selection.

1) The population produces more offspring than there are adults, in each generation.

2)  The population does not continue to grow in size.

3) Food and many other resources are limited.

These three observations interfere that individuals compete for resources within a population.

4) Individuals within all populations vary.

5) Many variations are heritable.

He also assumed from these two observations that individuals inherit some characteristics that give a better chance of surviving and reproducing.

These observations and interpretations helped him to propose the theory of natural selection. The theory tells the <u>heritable characteristics in a population change over  time</u> <u>become more adapted in generation after generations.</u>
