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.

Juliette [100K]

The generic name of poisonous chemicals, very often used in commercial agriculture that are used to kill organisms that either reduce the yield of crops or are harmful to animals are pesticides.

Pesticides are the chemicals used to kill the pests affecting the growth and yield of the crops. Pesticide is a broad term covering various small terms according to the pest being killed. For example insecticide, nematicide, avicide, rodenticide, bactericide, etc. Some chemicals used as pesticides are boric acid, Acephate, Deet, Propoxur, glyphosate, etc.

Commercial agriculture means growing of crops so as to sell them in the market to be utilized by the wide population of any area. Any crop can be grown at the commercial level. These crops do not reach the customers directly by the farmers, instead they are sold to whole-sellers first.

Answer:

The phenomenon is called convergent evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is the name given to the evolutionary phenomenon whereby a similar characteristic appears independently in two unrelated species, that is, that do not have a direct common ancestor from whom they could inherit that characteristic. Similar characteristics resulting from evolutionary convergence are called analogues or homoplasms (from the Greek, “shaped in the same way”). This process is very common and can be explained by natural selection, since similar selective pressures tend to favor similar adaptations.
