It indicates what elements is composed by and how many atoms of one element are linked to the other.
For example, this is the formula for table salt is:
NaCl
The formula indicates that table salt (sodium chloride) is composed by sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) on a 1:1 ratio.

Answer:
All of the statements are true.
The X chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes of humans and some animals (the other sex chromosome is the Y chromosome). Men have a single X chromosome and women two X chromosomes.
Diseases whose gene is localized on the X chromosome are most often transmitted in the X-linked recessive mode; some are transmitted on the dominant mode related to the X.
In this mode of inheritance, the morbid allele behaves like a recessive trait.
Women heterozygotes are not affected but can transmit the disease; they are aid to be conductive of the disease.
The disese is only manifested in male subjects (XY) with only one copy of the gene (hemizygous subjects)
Answer:
Both are considered macromolecules. I'll explain below
Explanation:
Proteins are like a huge Lego construction. Each individual piece gets pieced together to make a larger "thing" - Death Star, House, etc. Each individual piece is a monomer, and the larger construction is the polymer. The monomers are Amino Acids and they get pieced together to form the polymer that is called a protein. The linkage that they use is an amide bond, and in biology it is usually called a peptide bond.
Carbohydrates can be singular monomers or polymer units. They are made of completely different compounds - usually aldehydes or ketones. And they link together through different chemical linkages (acetal or ketal linkages for polymers,hemiacetal or hemiketal linkages for monomers).
Both can be large, 3D strucutres - proteins are only functional as a large, 3D structure, while carbohydrates can be singular.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
This is because sacromere is the basic unit of cardiac muscles which is made up of thin and thick filaments. Cardiac muscle is consist of the contractile cells of the heart which it's appearance is striated as a result of alternating thick and thin filaments which is composed of myosin and actin. Actin and myosin are both firm contractile protein filaments, the actin form the thin filaments, and myosin form thick filaments.
