Biology

Allushta [10]2 years ago

DNA is considered the molecule of life because it contains the instructions that ensure the continuity of life. Employment of DNA to code for protein is the basis of all life on earth. 

In all living things, inherited DNA  is used to code for amino acids  which when joined or linked together in a deliberate specific  manner form polypeptides which make up proteins. These proteins are responsible for  structure and function of cells. 

For example DNA provides information to make  four polypeptide (two beta and two alpha ) chains  which make up hemoglobin, the protein that functions as the oxygen carrier in red blood cells. In summary,

DNA → protein →  trait, and that relationship is the physical basis of life.

Sphinxa [80]

Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:

type of soil

type of plants

exposure to sunlight

method for measuring the growth

Answer:

exposure to sunlight

Explanation:

A scientific experiment has an experimental group and a control group. Control group is included to omit any error in results due to the factors other than the variable factor. Experimental group is the one exposed to different levels of the variable factor.

Here, Carlo wants to determine the the effect of day length on plants' growth. The test variable here is thus the duration of sunlight. In experimental group, this duration will be changed to determine its effect. In control group it will be kept constant so that results from other factors can be excluded from the observed experimental result.
