Write a definition of homologous chromosomes using the terms “gene” and “allele.”

Biology

Rina8888 [55]3 years ago
5 0
Homologous chromosomes contain the same genes and the same locations, or loci but may have different alleles. But jsut so this definition makes sense, lets define some of the words. 
A gene contains the traits that is passed down from two parents to its offspring. An allele is one part of a pair of genes that are located in a particular spot that controls the same trait.

True or false: The energy contained in the food we eat directly powers all of our cellular activities. If false, please make it
Gwar [14]

Answer:

False

"The energy contained in the food we eat is used to synthesize the energy that directly powers all of our cellular activities".

Explanation:

The food we eat undoubtedly contains energy. This energy is stored in the bonds of the molecules that make up the food. However, the food undergoes the process of digestion to yield glucose (a sugar). This glucose sugar is used in the process of CELLULAR RESPIRATION to synthesize a form of chemical energy usable by cells called ATP.

ATP or Adenosine triphosphate is a molecule that stores chemical energy in living cells. It is the molecule that directly powers all of our cellular activities. Hence, the statement in this question is FALSE. The correct statement should be "The energy contained in the food we eat is used to synthesize the energy that directly powers all of our cellular activities".

What is a convergent Boundary?
Sphinxa [80]
A convergent boundary is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other causing a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Benioff Zone.

What are the four carbon macromolecules the body uses and makes?
aliya0001 [1]

Living things are made of types of molecules, known as macromolecules.

There are four major classes of biological macromolecules:

carbohydrates

lipids

proteins

nucleic acids

Each of these types of macromolecules performs a wide array of important functions within the cell; a cell cannot perform its role within the body without many different types of these crucial molecules. In combination, these biological macromolecules make up the majority of a cell’s dry mass. (Water molecules make up the majority of a cell’s total mass.) All the molecules both inside and outside of cells are situated in a water-based (i.e., aqueous) environment, and all the reactions of biological systems are occurring in that same environment.
