An elongated tailbone occurs rarely in some newborn children. What does the presence of a tailbone indicate?

It's because the genome has undergone mutation which means the foetus has a post anal tail and when the fetus matures the genome triggers absorption in development to remove unnecessary components by disintegrating the unnecessary cells (webbing, tail, etc). When this is not removed it is because the genome did not send the signal for absorption.

DNA "Deoxyribonucleic Acid"

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Details about DNA are given in the explanation section. Hope it will be helpful for you.

Explanation:

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary element in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same type of DNA. Most DNA is found in the cell nucleus (nuclear DNA), but a small quantity of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).

The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases are the same type in all people.

DNA bases pair up with each other, A with T and C with G, to form units that are called base pairs. Each base is also attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. A base, sugar, and phosphate are called a nucleotide. Nucleotides are arranged in two long strands that form a spiral called a double helix.

A valuable feature of DNA is that it can replicate, or make copies of itself. Each strand of DNA in the double helix can serve as a pattern for duplicating the sequence of bases.

Answer:

Explanation:

1)Pfr/Pr

2) Pr

3)far-red

Explanation:

The leaves at the top of a tree’s canopy are exposed to direct sunlight during the day, and their phytochromes will occur in a high *Pfr/Pr* ratio. Meanwhile, the leaves of the same tree at the bottom of the canopy are highly shaded during the day and will likely have a higher proportion of the * ( PHYTOCHROME )Pr *;form of phytochrome present due to exposure to a higher proportion of *FAR RED * light.

Plants make use of the phytochrome system to it's adjust growth based on the seasons. Through phytochrome plants is able to respond to the timing and duration of dark and light periods. At dawn, all the phytochrome molecules present in the leaved are converted to the active Pfr form until sunset this is because the sun is unfiltered, and unfiltered sunlight has high percentage of red light, but lower far-red light, with the help of phytochrome system , the plants is able to compare the length of dark periods over several days.
