Genes are considered the basic functional and structural units of heredity because they contain specific sets of instructions to encode specific proteins, which pass across generations (i.e., they are inherited).

During gene expression, specific fragments of DNA (i.e., genes) are used as templates to create specific complementary RNA sequences called messenger RNAs (mRNAs) by a process called transcription.

Subsequently, these mRNAs are used to synthesize proteins by a process called translation.

The proteins arrange in the cell to produce specific phenotypes, i.e., specific observable features or traits.

In conclusion, the basic unit of heredity that carries the trait of albinism from parent to offspring is GENES.

<h2>Cellular Respiration</h2>

Explanation:

<em>Glycerol is changed into one of the intermediate product of glycolysis,</em> so enters the <em>cell respiration pathway</em>
Unsaturated fats are changed in a progression of responses called <em>beta-oxidation into acetyl CoA molecules,</em> which enter cell digestion at the <em>Kreb's Cycle</em>
A large portion of the ATP produced by cellular respiration is made by <em>oxidative phosphorylation</em>
<em>38 ATP atoms</em> can be made per oxidized glucose particle during cellular respiration <em>(2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and around 34 from the electron transport system)</em>
