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.

What is a “strain” of bacteria? How is it possible that some strains of staphylococcus aureus can be harmless, but others can be
cluponka [151]

A strain is a low-level taxonomic rank used at the intraspecific level (within a species). While the majority of the members of the same species have very high similarity in their genomes, there occasionally is a  proportion of the species that has a little different genome from the popular species group. This variability results in different strains on the species.

A harmless Staphylococcus aureus may have a muted virulence gene. However, either due to mutation of the gene or recombination with the harmful strain, a harmless Staphylococcus aureus could easily turn virulent (harmful).

Argue whether or not pandas are at the top of their food chain in the following scenario.
boyakko [2]

In this ecosystem the Leopard usually eats the Giant Panda bear cubs because the adult pandas are very intimidating out in the wild because of their size. The Leopard is then eaten by the Bengal Tiger which in this situation is the Tertiary Consumer and is at the top of the Panda Bears food chain.

The Panda comes under the secondary consumer, as it uses photosynthesis to produce its food – Bamboo. Cubs become a prey to other animals such as Leopards and tigers, which are known as the primary consumer. However adults intimidate other predators because of their great size.
