Answer:

It transmits genetic information to the next generation

Explanation:

DNA does not speed up chemical reactions inside the cells. That's the enzyme's job.

DNA does not directly form proteins. Amino acids form proteins

It does not provide a form of energy to the cells. Energy is produced in the cell when a phosphate from ATP is broken to from ADP.

Hence, we have only one option left. It transmits genetic information to the next generation. This is true as DNA contains genetic information and plays a major role in the characteristics of an organism.

Hope this helped!!!

Answer:

It transmits genetic information to the next generation

Explanation:

DNA stores information on how the cell should be made and ‘run’. This is why it is critical that its integrity is well preserved. Otherwise, mutations on DNA can be lethal to the cell. In higher cells, DNA is protected in the nucleolus. To pass down the genetic information, DNA is replicated by DNA polymerases and then during cell division, either copy of the pair goes to each of the two daughter cells.

The passage of IgG antibodies from mother to fetus illustrates passive immunity.

  • Antibodies produced outside the body can protect a person from contracting a disease, or they can give passive immunity.
  • Because antibodies are not regenerated as frequently as they would be in a person with a functioning immune system, passive immunity is typically transient.
  • Immunity that is transferred from mother to kid is known as maternal passive immunity or natural passive immunity.
  • Antibodies are transferred to the unborn child by the placenta while they are still in the womb and can offer protection against the corresponding infections in the weeks and months after delivery.
  • An infant's passive immunity to disease is maintained after birth due to antibodies contained in breast milk, particularly in colostrum, the protein-rich milk produced in the first few days after birth.
  • The importance of maternal passive immunity for safeguarding infants until their own immune system is mature enough to protect them.

In a cross between two tall plants with yellow seeds that are heterozygous on both traits (TtYy), supposed Mendel discovered tha
lawyer [7]

Answer:.

A test-cross can reveal an unknown genotype. As the plants are heterozygous they sort independently of each other. when they are cross linked dominant genes express themselves in most of the cases whereas the recessive genes also express themselves resulting in the formation of tall and yellow plants and as well as  short and green plants.

Explanation:

  The impact of a single gene on more than one characteristic is called pleiotropy.  Mendel deduced from his results that each individual had two discrete copies of the characteristic that are passed individually to offspring.Mendel called the dominant allele the expressed unit factor; the recessive allele was referred to as the latent unit factor.Mendel’s law of dominance states that in a heterozygote, one trait will conceal the presence of another trait for the same characteristic. The recessive trait will only be expressed by offspring that have two copies of this allele and these offspring will breed true when self-crossed.
