Answer:

C) a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that codes for a functional product.

Explanation:

Gene -

Gene is a fixed portion present in the chromosome of the cell , which is inbuilt with the hereditary information of the cell .

Genes directs the synthesis of the proteins .

It is basically a sequence of nucleotides present in the DNA .

Hence , from the given options the correct statement for gene is ( c ) .

8. What trait is shared by frogs, humans, hares, caimans, and parrots
zavuch27 [327]

They are all tetrapoda.

Tetrapods are animals (group of vertebrates) with four limbs including amphibians (frogs), reptiles (caimans), birds (parrots) and mammals (hares, humans). Even though the subgroups within Tetrapods differ a lot, they all have various adaptations of the skeleton and muscles that enable them movement on land, adaptations of cranium (for head stability), tissues that reduce water loss (because of living outside the water)…Except amphibians all other tetrapoda are amniotes (have amnion layer around embryo)

How might a gene mutation be silent, with no observable effect on a cell or an organism? A. Codons are complementary to anticodo
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

D. Many amino acids are encoded by multiple codons. A gene mutation that encodes the same amino acid would have no observable effect on the cell or the organism

Explanation:

If gene mutation does not change code (gene still encodes for the same amino acid), the same protein with its function will be produced. This is called synonymous mutation.

Silent mutations might also occur when  codon is altered to produce an amino acid with similar function as previous (e.g. leucine to isoleucine) so that the function of protein is not significantly changed.

Four fishermen fished for the same amount of time in different ponds. Which catch most likely came from the pond with the highes
irina [24]

Correct Answer: B. Catch B  

Explanation: Fish depend on dissolved oxygen to survive. Ponds with high levels of dissolved oxygen will support more fish (and larger fish) than ponds with low levels of dissolved oxygen. Trout are particularly sensitive to dissolved oxygen levels, so a pond with a healthy trout population probably has high levels of dissolved oxygen.
