Answer:

A segment of DNA that carries the instructions for one polypeptide chain.

Explanation:

The DNA is the genetic material of almost all the living organisms but few exceptions are present in case of virus where RNA is present as genetic material.

The phenotype and genotype of the organisms is determined by the gene. Gene is the functional segment of the DNA that codes for the specific polypeptide chain and determines the different morphological characters of the organisms.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

What is the difference between independent and dependent variables
trasher [3.6K]

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.

An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable.

A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

The dependent variable is 'dependent' on the independent variable. As the experimenter changes the independent variable, the effect on the dependent variable is observed and recorded.

For example, a scientist wants to see if the brightness of light has any effect on a moth being attracted to the light. The brightness of the light is controlled by the scientist. This would be the independent variable. How the moth reacts to the different light levels (distance to light source) would be the dependent variable.

When results are plotted in graphs, the convention is to use the independent variable as the x-axis and the dependent variable as the y-axis.
