Answer:

Genetics (DNA)

Explanation:

Your chromosomes contain the blueprint for your body – your genes. Almost every cell in the human body contains a copy of this blueprint, mostly stored inside a special sac within the cell called the nucleus.

<em>Chromosomes are long strands of a chemical substance called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). </em>

Parents pass on traits or characteristics, such as eye color and blood type, to their children through their genes. Some health conditions and diseases can be passed on genetically too.

Each variation of a gene is called an allele (pronounced ‘AL-eel’). These two copies of the gene contained in your chromosomes influence the way your cells work.

The two alleles in a gene pair are inherited, one from each parent. Alleles interact with each other in different ways. These are called inheritance patterns. Examples of inheritance patterns include:

Answer:

B. an amino terminal signal peptide

Explanation:

The reactions of the citric acid cycle occur in the matrix of mitochondria. Therefore, all the enzymes required for this pathway are present in the matrix of mitochondria. These enzymes are formed on the ribosomes present in the cytosol and are transported into the mitochondria with the help of cytosolic heat shock proteins. The newly formed mitochondrial proteins have signal sequences present at their N terminal. The proteins to be transported into the matrix have a single signal sequence that at N terminal which is removed by a protease once the enzyme enters into the matrix.
