<h2>Answer:</h2>
The correct statement is option A which is, "A gene is a segment on the DNA. DNA is wrapped in proteins to form a chromosome".
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
- A gene is the part of DNA in the nucleus which encodes for the specific trait in the body. DNA is the nucleotide sequence which is the blue print for the whole organism. It contains genes for all the structures and functions in the body.
- So it is very long sequence containing the million of genes. So in nucleus it is present in compress form. It is wrapped on the histones proteins and condense and supersondense into a specific structure which is known as chromosome.
Cholera develops when the bacterial toxin prevents G-protein inactivation , which leads to the continuous production of cAMP.

Answer:
The correct answer is -
A) BbTt x bbTt
B) .5^4 or 1/16 or 0.0625
Explanation:
As it is given that Brachydactylus and PTC tasters both traits are autosomal dominant conditions which mean only one allele would be enough.
For Branchydactylus and For tasting : man and women will be heterogeneous.
Hence,
The Genotype of man = BbTt
The Genotype of wife = bbTt
b. Answer = 0.0625
For Branchydactylus:
Bb X bb
Possible genotypes:
B b
b Bb( Brachydactylus) bb(normal)
b Bb (Brachydactylus) bb (normal)
The probability of a single child being Branchydactylus = 2/4 = 0.5
So, Probability of all 4 child being Branchydactylus = .5 x .5 x .5 x .5 = 0.0625
