Answer;

a segment of chromosomal DNA

Explanation;

A gene is a  hereditary unit consisting of a sequence of DNA that occupies a specific location on a chromosome and determines a particular characteristic in an organism. Genes undergo mutation when their DNA sequence changes.

It is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins.  However, many genes do not code for proteins.

Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features.

marin [14]

Most humans (and vertebrates, in general) are genetically "programmed" to produce a brown skin pigment known as melanin. Albinism--the inability to produce melanin—is inherited in humans as an autosomal recessive trait. An individual with genotype AA or Aa will have normally pigmented skin, whereas an individual with genotype aa will produce no melanin. The albino's skin is very pale white, and the (highly vascularized) irises of the eyes appear red because no melanin obscures the red reflectance of blood.

The frequencies aa (Parental genotype male) and Aa (Parental genotype female, predict the frequencies of all genotypes and phenotypes expected  to result from the cross of an albino male with a heterozygous female.

Before testing the pea plants, Mendel formed a five-part hypothesis. What did Mendel include in his hypothesis? Check all that a
dybincka [34]
<span>Mendel included the following in his hypothesis: A pair of factors (known as genes) control traits. One gene comes from each parent for every trait. Each trait is passed from generation to generation. When gametes are formed, genes separate. If there are two unlike genes, one may be seen while the other is hidden. The inheritance of each trait is determined by units or factors that are passed on to descendants unchanged, and individual inherits one such unit from each parent for each trait, a trait may not show up in an individual but can still be passed on to the next generation and also the genes for each trait segragate themselves during gamete production.</span>

3. Primary immunodeficiencies affecting T cells tend to be more severe than those affecting B cells because: A. T cells control
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The adaptive immune is characterized by immunological memory, specificity, and self nonself recognition. These cells are involved in lymphocytes that fight against the specific antigen.

T cells tend to be more severely affected than the B cells by the primary immunodeficiencies however both are the major components of the adaptive immune system.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Oxygen in the lungs leaves the air sacs and enters the blood<br> veins or capillaries
nikklg [1K]

Answer: Each air sac is surrounded by a network of fine blood vessels (capillaries). The oxygen in inhaled air passes across the thin lining of the air sacs and into the blood vessels. This is known as diffusion. The oxygen in the blood is then carried around the body in the bloodstream, reaching every cell.

In my own words

Each air sac is encircled by an organization of fine veins (vessels). The oxygen in breathed in air goes over the slim coating of the air sacs and into the veins. This is known as dissemination. The oxygen in the blood is then hefted around the body in the circulation system, arriving at each cell.
