<span>The answer is c. Chromosomes carry the codes for hereditary traits. Chromosomes are thread-like structures made of proteins and DNA. Codes for hereditary traits are present in a molecule of DNA. Chromosomes can be found in the nucleus of each cell. Humans have 46 chromosomes in each cell (not 460) arranged in 23 pairs (not 230). Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span>

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

Chromosomes refer to the compositions found within the nucleus of the cell that comprises genes of an individual. The genes refer to the DNA segments, which comprises the code for a particular protein, which functions in one or more kinds of cells in the body.  

A chromosome comprises thousands of genes, and each of the normal human cell comprises 23 pairs of chromosomes, thus, a sum of 46 chromosomes. More than one gene present within a chromosome determines a trait known as a gene-determined characteristic. This trait or characteristic passes from one offspring to another. Thus, it can be said that the chromosomes carry the codes for hereditary traits.

Roles of bones in bony fish include which of the following?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

D All of the above

Explanation:

Like our bones, bones in fish can provide general protection and support to their body.

(Fun fact, jellyfish do not have bones, so when they are out of the water, they loses their bell shape structure and looks more like a flat piece of jelly. But fish tends to look the same when it is in water and out of water.)

The bone is also where the muscles will attach to, which allows for movement.

(Imagine our fingers, the muscles in our fingers are attached to our bones, which allows us to do things like typing.)

Bones can also protect the fish's brain.

(Brain can be very fragile and soft, so having a hard structure around it can protect the brain. It's kind of similar to protecting the liquid egg in an egg shell.)

Question 7 of 34
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

B. Excretory system

Explanation:

<em>Because the excretory system is made to remove urine which consists of waste materials such as excess salts and water. The kidneys are present in it as well. If there is too much water in the body the excretory system will produce urine with higher water concentration so whiteish urine will be produced and if there is a low amount of water in the body the excretory system will produce urine with lower water concentration so yelloish or greenish urine will be produced</em>
