Answer:
The meninges is a layered unit of membranous connective tissue that covers the brain and spinal cord. These coverings encase central nervous system structures so that they are not in direct contact with the bones of the spinal column or skull.
Explanation:
Answer:
1. chromosome: tight coils of DNA
2. Eukaryote: a cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus
3. Gene: a specific sequence of DNA nucleotides that carry hereditary traits
4. Prokaryote: a cell whose nucleus is not bound by a membrane
5. Trait: genetic characteristic of an individual
Explanation:
Chromosomes are the thread-like structures that appear during cell division. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled with its packing proteins.
A cell is defined as eukaryote or prokaryote on the basis of the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus. The cells that lack the membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles are called prokaryotic cells. Example: bacteria.
The cells that have a membrane bound nucleus in which DNA is present are called eukaryotic cells. Example: Plant cells.
A stretch of DNA that code for a particular protein and thereby regulate specific genetic trait is called a gene. Genes are present on chromosomes and are carried from one generation to next to maintain the genetic traits.
The features of living beings regulated by the gene are called trait. Example: skin color, eye color, etc.
Answer:
the transfer of genetic material from one population to another
Explanation:
Their bodies taper to points at both the snout and the tail, reducing water resistance. Also decreasing drag -- and therefore noise -- are dermal denticles, sharp scales that cover the skin of most shark species. Rather than bone, sharks have cartilage, which is much lighter and more flexible. In addition, their livers produce squalene, a fatty oil that helps them remain afloat. Their pectoral fins allow them to quickly change direction, dive and swim upward.
