<span> hot springs </span>(geothermal vents)<span> should be found at the active spreading centers along the mid-oceanic ridges, where magma, at temperatures over 1,000 °C, presumably was being erupted to form new oceanic crust. More exciting, because it was totally unexpected, was the discovery of abundant and unusual sea life -- giant tube worms, huge clams, and mussels -- that thrived around the hot springs.</span>

The information carried by a dna molecule is in __________.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

Sequence of nucleotides in the DNA strand

Explanation:

Deoxyribonuceic acid or DNA is a biological material that stores the genetic information of an organism.

DNA encodes the information through the order or sequence of the nuceotides along each strand. Organisms differ from one another because their respective DNA molecule have different nucleotide sequences and consequently, carry different biological instructions.

A DNA strand consists of two polynucleotide chains, composed of four nucleotide subunits. Each of these chains is known as DNA strand. Hydrogen bonds between the base portions of the nucleotides hold the two chains together. DNA nucleotides are composed of a 5-carbon sugar (Deoxyribose) to which are attached one phosphate group and a nitrogenous base (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine). The nucleotides are covalently linked together.

When Mendel crossed a plant homozygous for round seeds to another plant homozygous for wrinkled seeds, he found that all the pro

deff fn [24]

Answer:

a. The allele for round seeds is dominant to the allele for wrinkled seeds.

Explanation:

Mendel found that when two pure breeding plants that differ from each other with respect to one genetic trait are crossed, all the progeny express the phenotype of one parent. The phenotype of the other parent is not expressed in the progeny. He concluded that the genetic trait that is expressed in the F1 generation is dominant over the other which is masked in this generation.

A cross between pure breeding plants for round seeds and the wrinkled seeds obtained all the round seeded progeny. This meant that the phenotype "round" was dominant over the phenotype "wrinkled". If the allele "R" gave round phenotype and the allele "r" imparted wrinkled phenotype, the allele "R" was dominant to the "r".
