Answer: The correct answer is DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid).

DNA is the genetic material of the living organism. It carries the genetic information in the form of nucleotide sequences. DNA is converted into mRNA ( messenger RNA through transcription), which is then converted into protein through a process called translation.

Thus, the blueprint for a protein is originally carried by DNA.

DNA (Deoxyribose nucleic acid) is a blueprint or the molecular sequence that information regarding the synthesis of protein.

Further Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a long chain of molecules that carries the genetic information of an organism. It is a double helix or two stranded a molecule that has a twisted structure. These two strands run antiparallel (opposite) to each other. It is lies within the nucleus of each cell.

Each strand is composed of a nitrogenous base, namely; adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. These bases lie in a sequence. The sequence present on the one strand of the DNA is complementary to others. These strands are inaccessible due to its twisted structure. So, the first step for the synthesis of protein includes the untwisting of the DNA strand. An RNA polymerase grabs the molecule and split it into two strands. It leads to exposure of base-pair that helps in building the RNA strands. The RNA is similar to DNA; the only difference is uracil (nitrogenous base) in place of thymine. It is complementary to the DNA strand. The RNA that contains information regarding the protein is called mRNA (messenger RNA).

Hey there! :D

When we are talking about gametes, we can use a punnet square, or in this case, common knowledge. If two of the alleles for one phenotype are the same, we can infer there will only be two variations of the genotype. (because there are two dominant SS genes) We already know that "D" must be the answer. Firstly, there will be one allele for each gene, so there will always be an "S" and a "T" no "SS" or "tt" (when talking about gametes). That leaves us with B and D but there is no recessive "s" in the original genotype, so the answer must be "D".

I hope this helps!

Why do you think carbohydrates are used as a source if quick energy rather than fat?

Umnica [9.8K]

1) carbohydrates cannot be dissolved easily unlike fats as they are insoluble in water.therefore the amount of energy given from carbohydrates lasts longer than fats 2)fats can be accumulated on the coronary artery(the artery which supplies blood to the heart)there lots of intake of fats can result in heart attack 3)carbohydrates are non sticky and from chain of compounds unlike fats.

Interstitial cells produce?

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is option E (testosterone).

Explanation:

The interstitial cells or Leydig cells are the individual or group of cells present in loose connective tissues surrounding the seminiferous tubules.

They are usually active in the production of dominant sex hormones in males that is testosterone responsible for male secondary sexual characteristics.They produce hormones in the presence of luteinizing hormone (LH) and growth hormone released by the pituitary gland.

The high cholesterol content and crystals of Reinke make the leydig cells appear pale in color.

Thus, option E- testosterone is the correct answer.
