Answer: The correct answer is 3) A segment of a DNA molecule that contains  the instructions for producing a trait in an  organism.

Gene is a segment of DNA molecule that contains instructions ( in the form of nucleotide sequences), which are required for producing a specific trait ( characteristic) of an organism.

For this, gene is first transcribed into mRNA ( messenger RNA), which is then translated to produce a particular protein. The protein thus formed gives a specific characteristic to the organism.

Thus, option 3) is the best description for a gene.

<span>the correct answer is D. The DNA contains all the information required for translating theminto all characteristics of an organsims. The DNA are packed with histone proteins, and are loacted on chromosomes. They are trasncribed and translated into the desired proteins, and thus, the traits</span>

7. Why is it impossible for a parent with type AB blood to have a baby with type O blood?
maxonik [38]

Answer: This is because a parent with type AB blood has both A and B antigens therefore, the child must inherit either A or B antigen from the parent.

Explanation: In ABO blood type, blood types are classified on the basis of the antigens present in the red blood cells. There are two types of antigens: A and B antigens.

A blood type is so named because it has A antigens, B blood type has B antigens, AB blood type has both A and B antigens while O blood type has no antigens.

Each of these blood types is controlled by two alleles, and children inherit one allele from each parent. If a parent has AB blood type, none of his offsprings will have O blood type because each offspring must inherit either antigen A or B from this parent.

Anton [14]

Answer:

<h2>2. Peter's maternal grandfather has PKU.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Such type of the genetic disorder in which two copies of a gene must be mutated at a time is called autosomal recessive disorder such as sickle cell anemia, phenylketonuria, and some other diseases.
  • When a sing copy of a gene is mutated in a person then this disorder is not appeared and the person is called a carrier.
  •  So when a child is born by two carrier parents then there is a chance that a child will be affected if both the parents donate mutated genes.
  • In the case of Peter, since peter does not show this defect this means his maternal grandfather was affected by this disorder.
