Answer:A gene is a short section of a DNA

Explanation: A gene is the fundamental unit of inheritance or hereditary in living organisms. A gene is the DNA segment that codes the information needed to produce an RNA or a protein. Some DNA molecules have short segments that do not code for amino acid sequence of a polypeptide product. These non translational or non coding sequences are called intervening sequences or introns. DNAs also contain coding segments which are called genes.

Which of the following is an organism whose cells each contain a membrane<br> bound nucleus?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

D. Eukaryote

Explanation:

An organism that has membrane-bound organelles will have more complex organelles like mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and ER. These are known as Eukaryotes. Additionally, they will have a nucleus that has the DNA coiled inside. Prokaryotes do not have membrane-bound organelle and the DNA floats in the cytoplasm. Most plants and animals are eukaryotes and all multicellular organisms are too.

Why is salt not allowed to pass through the cell membrane?
xxTIMURxx [149]
Salt molecules are much smaller than starch molecules and can pass through more easily. ... Thus, they are quite large molecules in contrast to the relatively small salt molecules. The smaller salt molecules pass through the membrane easily, but the larger starch molecules cannot pass through the membrane.

In guinea pigs, smooth coat (S) is dominant over rough coat ( s ) and black coat (B) is dominant over white coat (b). In the cro
hoa [83]

Answer:

9 out of 16 offsprings

Explanation:

This question involves two genes in guinea pig; one coding for coat texture and the other for coat color. The alleles for smooth coat (S) and black coat (B) are dominant over rough coat (s) and white coat (b).

In this question, two heterozygous guinea pigs were crossed i.e. SsBb × SsBb. The gametes produced by each parent is as follows: SB, Sb, sB, sb. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the proportion of offsprings will be:

Smooth black coat (S_B_) = 9

Smooth white coat (S_bb) = 3

Rough black coat (ssB_) = 3

Rough white coat (ssbb) = 1

Hence, according to this question, 9 out of 16 offsprings will have a smooth black coat on average.

Summarize re process by which the DNA code is made into a protein
shusha [124]
The DNA undergoes two simplified process I becoming a protein; transcription and translation. Transcription involves the production of a complimentary mRNA strand in the nucleus. The double stranded DNA unzips enzymatically, next DNA polymerase binds to the unzipped DNA and binds complementary nucleotides from the 3' end to the 5' end. This newly formed mRNA strand then moves out of the nucleus where it binds with a ribosome, here complimentary tRNA molecules bind to the mRNA strand thus forming a primary structure protein.
