Kruka [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

One similarity between the sunflower plant and paddy plant is that both of them have a non-woody stem. The three differences are; sunflower plant is a dicot, and has branching veins and taproots while paddy plant is a monocot, and has parallel veins and fibrous roots.

Explanation:

The paddy plant is a monocot (monocotyledon), where only one embryonic leaf (cotyledon) is present inside the seed coat. The monocots have a fibrous root system and their leaf veins are parallel. The sunflower plant is a dicot or dicotyledon, which contains two embryonic leaves inside the seed coat. The leaf veins of dicots are branched. They have taproots. Both the sunflower plant and paddy plant can be used as food. Both have a non-woody stem.

A segment of dna/chromosome containing the instructions for building a protein which will result in a trait is called a ___
joja [24]

Answer: A segment of dna/chromosome containing the instructions for building a protein which will result in a trait is called a GENE.

Explanation:

CHROMOSOMES are made up of two threads called chromatids joined at a point called the centromere.

In the chemical nature of chromosomes, each is made up of a protein framework which has a long molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) coiled round it. A segment of DNA containing the instructions for building a protein which will result in a trait is called a GENE.

The GENES in the cell of a diploid organism contain all the necessary instructions for building up the organism.These instructions are written on a molecular scale.. Most genes contain information to direct the synthesis of specific proteins. Each such protein takes part in the development of a particular character.

A protein is made up of one or more chains of amino acids known as polypeptides. The sequence of bases in a DNA molecule determines the type of amino acid and the sequence in which they are arranged in a polypeptide chain.

A gene therefore is a sequence of triplets of the four bases which specifies the structure of a protein

Describe the specific DNA changes that produce the abnormal cystic fibrosis protein
netineya [11]
F508

it changes the composition of the DNA

DNA is chiefly responsible for storing and transferring genetic information whereas RNA acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes during the process of protein synthesis and directly codes for amino acids.

DNA is double stranded while RNA is single stranded.

DNA has thymine in its structure but RNA does not. Instead in place of thymine it has uracil.
