Answer:

The correct option is <em>C. A gene is a specific segment of DNA on a chromosome</em>

Explanation:

Option A is false because a gene is a segment on a chromosome.

Option B is false because a chromosome carries many genes.

Option D is false because a gene carries a segment of DNA, not all of the DNA.

Option C is correct because there are many genes present on a single chromosome. Each gene carries a segment of DNA. The position of a gene on the chromosome is known as its loci.

Lab report about mouse genetics (two Trait)
baherus [9]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>If a </em><em>mouse receives one trait of a particular form</em><em>, then the </em><em>inheritance of the other trait</em><em> will not be hampered because alleles assort independently. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

However, it is observed that the traits for white fur and red eyes are always inherited together.

It can be a possibility that the genes of the traits observed are present in a chromosome and are linked together or present at a close proximity. If the genes are linked then the possibility of genes to get separated decreases.

What is the relationship between the food we eat and energy in the body.
gregori [183]
The food we eat is our energy. When we eat food, we need to digest it and the eaten food, once digested, serves as our energy that we use up for daily needs.(maybe wants like the gym or something) If we eat too much food, it will be stored and we will become overweight over time. If we don't eat enough, we will lose weight because we're not getting enough energy in our bodies, so our bodies cannot get enough energy from the food eaten, so it looks elsewhere for stored energy(our fat and muscle cells Hope this helped:)

alexdok [17]

True

Explanation:

In the temporomandibular joint, there are two kinds of movements: rotation and translation.  

Rotation is the movement around an axis. It is the movement of an object around its axes.

The mandibular rotation movement occurs in the condyles and might be produced in three planes: horizontal plane, frontal, and sagittal planes.  

- Sagittal Plane: There are up/down, forward/backward movements involved.

- Horizontal Plane:  These are lateral movements together with back and foward movements.  

- Frontal: Involves up/down, and lateral movements.
