Answer:

A. transmission genetics

B. population genetics

C. molecular genetics

D. genomics

E. molecular genetics

Explanation:

Transmission genetics can be defined as the study of the mechanisms involved in the inheritance of genetic material by offspring from parents. This discipline started with the discovery of inherited characteristics in pea plants by Mendel (1865).

Population genetics is a subdiscipline of genetics that studies genetic variation within and between populations. Population genetics is an area that explains how allele and genotypic frequencies change across time, thereby this subdiscipline is closely linked to evolutionary biology.

Genomics is a broad area of genetics that studies the function, evolution, structure, function, mapping and comparison of genomes (i.e., the whole genetic material contained in each cell of a given organism). This discipline aims at understanding entire gene pools. Genomics includes different research areas including structural genomics, functional genomics, epigenomics and metagenomics.

Molecular genetics is a sub-discipline of genetics that studies the mechanisms involved in preserving the genetic material (i.e., DNA and RNA), and to understand how the structure and expression of the genetic material influence the observed variation among organisms.

Application of surface tension in respiratory system
likoan [24]

Answer:

The force of surface tension in the lungs is so great that without something to reduce the surface tension, the airways would collapse after exhalation, making re-inflation during inhalation much more difficult and less effective. Collapse of the lungs is called alectasis.

Which of the following is necessary for the light-independent reactions to proceed?
Yanka [14]

Answer;

C) ATP

Explanation;

-Photosynthesis can be divided into two parts: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (also referred to as the "dark" reactions).

-The two products of the light-dependent reactions of photosystem are ATP and NADPH.  The movement of high energy electrons releases the free energy that is needed to produce these molecules.  The ATP and NADPH are used in the light-independent reactions to make sugar.

-The light-independent reactions, or dark reactions, of photosynthesis are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. These reactions occur in the stroma, the fluid-filled area of a chloroplast outside the thylakoid membranes.

“The genetic code is universal.” This statement means that
Lemur [1.5K]

The correct answer is B

The genetic codes language in all living organisms is the same. This is to say that the molecules of life namely DNA and RNA share the same make up in all living things .

There are five types of nucleotides in nature which are the building blocks of RNA and DNA and these are the same in all living organisms . These nucleotides are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine and Uracil.

According to base pairing rules, in all DNA molecules Adenine will always pair with Thymine while Guanine will always pair with Cytosine.

This  rule is the same with RNA except that here Thymine is replaced with Uracil.  Otherwise the base pairing rule applies in all living organisms, that is to say it is universal.
