<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.

The cuticle is the most exterior layer of arthropods' tegument. It is secreted by the epidermis and develops right over it.

It is composed of two main layers,

  • epicuticle ⇒ outermost layer
  • procuticle ⇒ inner layer

The cuticle is mainly made of chitin, and its function is to protect the organism's body and avoid dehydration.

Because it avoids dehydration it is believed that arthropods had such an evolutive and adaptative successful in their transition from water to the land.

The cuticle also provides support to the body and a muscle attachment surface.

Suppose you discover a new form of a nucleic acid, XNA. Like DNA, it is double-stranded. You are interested in its mode of repli
victus00 [196]

Answer:

A: Unlike DNA, XNA replicates conservatively

Explanation:

<em>The replication of the DNA is </em><em>semi conservative.</em><em> This means that newly replicated double helix DNAs usually consist of one parental strands and one newly synthesized strands. The parental DNA unwinds and each strand serves as template for the synthesis of complementary strands.</em>

In the case of XNA, the two strands of parental XNA were found intact, meaning that the newly produced XNA consist of two newly synthesized strands. This thus means that the replication process is conservative.

Hence, unlike DNA replication that is semi conservative, XNA replication is conservative.
