The general definition of a gene is some heredity that is passed on from a parent to an offspring. Scientifically speaking, the transfer involves a sequence of nucleotides that forms part of the chromosome. This sequence of nucleotides is a DNA.
Thus, the answer would be
A. a segment of DNA
Answer:
Its primary role in red blood cells is to maintain levels of red blood cells with low levels of this compound are more suceptible to oxidative damage.
Explanation:
Pentose phosphte pathway helps in the formation of reducing equivalent named NADPH.
The so formed NADPH is used to maintain a normal cellular level of glutathione which act as antioxidant.
As glutathione is not mantained in its normal level, it ability to reduce to adverse effect of hydrogen peroxide is cut down.
As a result cell is more suceptible to oxidative damage.
They are known as polar molecules. For example, water has regions varying in electric charge. Therefore, its one end is positively charged, and another end is negatively charged.
Abiotic factors are things that aren't living that effect an environment, like pH (how acidic the soil is), the temperature, amount of light, and so on. These can effect a population by making it more difficult to survive, perhaps creating more competition over available resources and so on. So for example, if the soil is really acidic in an area, a population of plants may not be able to grow well in that environment.
