Answer/Explanation:

1. chromosome  - tight coils of DNA

Before the cell is ready to divide, it replicates the DNA and then condenses the DNA to form structures called chromosomes. These X shaped, tightly coiled structures are divided between two daughter cells, so that each cell has identical genetic information to the parent cell after it has been divided. The human genome is organised into pairs of 23 chromosomes (46 total).

2. eukaryote  - a cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus

Eukaryotes are distinct from prokaryotes because their DNA is housed in a membrane-bound organelle called a nucleus. Humans are examples of eukaryotes. Eukaryotes are usually much more complicated organisms than prokaryotes, which is why their DNA requires physical separation from other cell components. Eukaryotes also possess other membrane-bound organelles that are present in a prokaryote.

3. gene   - a specific sequence of DNA nucleotides that carry hereditary traits

DNA can (mostly) be divided up into functional units called genes. These genes specify proteins that play important functions in the cell. Variation in the DNA at genes can mean that the structure and function of the protein is affected, producing different traits for different individuals.

4. prokaryote -  a cell whose nucleus is not bound by a membrane

Unlikely eukaryotes as described in question 2, prokaryotes lack a membrane bound nucleus. Instead, their DNA is housed in a region of the cytoplasm called the nucleoid. Prokaryotes tend to have much less DNA and it is much less complex. It is usually organised into a single circular molecule

5. trait  - a genetic characteristic of an individual

Traits describe a characteristic that is determined by a gene or several genes working together, and can also be influenced by the environment (depending on what the trait is). Phenotypes describe a trait. For example, the pea plant height is a trait, but tall or short is the phenotype.

What temperature should a bimetal stemmed or digital
Maksim231197 [3]

When using the ice water bath method, the temperature of a bimetal stemmed or digital thermometer should be calibrated in 32 °F.

A bimetal stemmed thermometer is a type of thermometer used for measuring food temperatures.

It can measure a temperature range from 0 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit °F.

It is called bimetal stemmed because it has a metal stem with a sensor in the lower end.

Bimetal stemmed thermometer are calibrated using the ice water

bath method.

When the metal probe of the thermometer is placed in a bowl filled with ice water, the reading should be 32°F (which is equivalent of 0°C for ice water). This shows that the thermometer is still effective.
