Answer:
it is the third option: DNA reads the nucleotide sequences found in genes. Genes are located on tightly wound structures called chromosomes.
Explanation:
The physical description of sulfur is hydrogen
Answer:
Each species has a specific identifying number of chromosomes. For example, a cat, <em>Felis catus</em>, has 38 chromosomes, while corn, <em>Zea mays</em>, has 20 chromosomes each chromosome carries specific genes that are unique to that chromosome.
Explanation:
Chromosomes vary in shape and number among living beings. For example, the bacterial chromosome is a unique circular molecule, while human beings have 46 lineal chromosomes arranged in pairs (23 pairs). The total number of chromosomes is specific to each species, and it is denoted as the "chromosomic dotation" of the species.
Genes are the hereditable units that transmit the information needed to specify traits, from parents to offspring, generation to generation. Genes are arranged in sequence in the chromosomes. A chromosome might contain hundreds of thousands of genes.
Genes vary in size and shape. They are composed of pairs of bases, and these sequences also vary in number, producing genes of different lengths. In general, genes code for proteins. Proteins create the organism tissues and perform or carry out specific functions in the organisms, controlling almost all processes and chemical reactions.
Each chromosome carries <u>specific</u> genes that code for <u>specific </u>proteins that have <u>specific</u> functions in the organisms. Each chromosome carries information to synthesize different proteins needed to accomplish a certain function. But <u>not all chromosomes carry the same gene sequences</u>. Only homologous chromosomes carry information for the same trait, but even this information is not necessarily the same. They might have the same gene but different alleles.
Answer:
1a. False
1b. False
Explanation:
They are genetic clones which make them identical so there is no difference in phenotype which is the key mechanism for evolution to occur through natural selection.
- since they are of one phenotype(genetically identical) genetic drift can not occur. For genetic drift to occur, there must be a change in the frequency of one allele within a population over a period of time and this genetic variation must occur randomly for a genetic drift to occur.
Answer:
<h2>
Hershey and Chase conducted a series of experiments in order to prove that DNA is the genetic material.</h2>
Explanation:
In this experiment, sulphur-35 and phosphorous-32 were used to radioactively label protein and DNA respectively. The bacteriophage (viruses that infects the bacteria) were allowed to infect the <em>E. coli </em>and it was found that bacterial pellets contains P-32 in their DNA and not S-35. This indicates suphur is not found in DNA, it is present in protein. This experiments proves that DNA is the genetic material and not protein.
So, the correct option is A.
