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 ) .

In place of thymine, what does RNA use as a base <br><br> Please help
11111nata11111 [884]
The first three are the same as those found in DNA, but in RNA thymine is replaced by uracil as the base complementary to adenine. This base is also a pyrimidine and is very similar to thymine. Uracil is energetically less expensive to produce than thymine, which may account for its use in RNA.

Which statement best explains why the level of ATP in skeletal muscles changes during exercise?
melamori03 [73]
ATP or the Adenosine Triphosphate is referred to as the basic energy unit of the body. In the case of doing an exercise, what happens is that, the more someone increases his or her activity, the more energy is required and the body should compensate for this need. Therefore, the answer for this would be option D.

DIC microscopy, Differential interference contrast is used to detect and enhance the different levels of contrast of a specimen

Phase contrast microscopy, Microscopy technique used to detect the different states of matter of a specimen

Fluorescence microscopy, use of fluorophore attached to sample for investigation

Transmission electron microscopy, uses beams of electrons to pass through a sample to then create an image

Scanning electron microscopy,  the surface of a sample is scanned with a beam of electrons to generate an image

X ray crystallography, determining a structure of a protein my using an x-ray technique

2D PAGE electrophoresis,  separation of proteins by two phases sizes and charges
