Answer:

The correct answer is a gene

Explanation:

The DNA segment that carries information for coding one protein or polypeptide is called a gene. According to one gene-one polypeptide hypothesis, each gene is responsible for making a single chain of the polypeptide.

Originally it was said that one gene codes for one enzyme but later it was found that some gene also codes for non-enzyme proteins and single polypeptide chains. So after this research, the theory was modified and one gene-one polypeptide theory came. Therefore the right answer is gene.

There are 1000 micrometres (um) in a millimetre (mm).

Vesna [10]

Answer: The length of the cell in millimetres is 0.0015.

Explanation:

Given conversion :

$1000\mu m=1mm$

Thus $1\mu m=\frac{1}{1000}mm=0.001mm$

Given : Length of the cell = 1.5 micrometers $(\mu m)$

To find: Length of the cell in milllimeters (mm)

Length of the cell in milllimeters (mm) = $1.5\times 0.001mm=0.0015mm$

The length of the cell in millimetres is 0.0015.
