These segments of DNA that contain the code for specific proteins are called genes.

Actual coding region of DNA are called exons.

Explanation:

A segment of DNA that codes for one distinct protein is called a gene. Each chromosome carries thousands of various genes. The genetic code of the DNA ever prevails protected inside the nucleus.

a gene is a stretch of DNA. Nucleotide consists of a sugar, phosphate and a base.. Genes are organized and packaged in units named “chromosomes.” Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Which statement(s) corresponds to cellular respiration? Choose all that apply.
True [87]
The statements that correspond to cellular respiration are:

2) CO2 diffuses passively out of the cell.
6) O2 is pumped in and forces CO2 out

Cellular respiration in animals produces carbon dioxide as waste products. Cellular respiration is presented like this:

oxygen + glucose → energy + carbon dioxide + water

This biome contains a nutrient-rich environment created by falling leaves and trapped organic materials from the large trees
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Freshwater wetland biome

Explanation:

Wetlands are defined as those areas where the land area is mostly covered by water seasonally or annually. The areas remain wet. Freshwater wetlands are a type of biome that is not connected to the ocean. They are found mainly along the boundaries of rivers, streams, and lakes. The water in the freshwater wetland is generally evaporated during the summer season.

This biome is highly rich in nutrients that provide a favorable site for the existence of numerous plants and animal species. The leaves that are detached from the trees are deposited within the soils and also captures and accumulates the organic materials that are eliminated from the large trees within this region.

1. breeding of individuals that have genes for two different characteristics dihybrid cross 2. a grid system used to predict pos
icang [17]
1. breeding of individuals that have genes for two different characteristics:
DIHYBRID CROSS.
We call it a dihybrid cross when we are considering a cross between two different traits.
"di" means having two traits involved (for example, trait A and trait B), the "hybrid" means that each trait will have two different alleles (for gene A: A or a; for gene B: B or b), one is dominant and the other is recessive.

2. a grid system used to predict possible combinations of genes due to random fertilization: PUNNETT SQUARE
The Punnett square is a grid system that helps us predict an outcome of a cross or a breeding experiment. We this, we can determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype.
This is very useful when we are considering more than one gene,  making it less confusing.

3. a condition in which both alleles are dominant: CODOMINANCE
Tere are alleles that have the capacity of dominating at the same time, and when an organism is heterozygotic, both alleles are expressed.
For example, a white chicken(WW) crossed with a black chicken (BB):  100% of the offspring being WB. With this genotype, they have black feathers and white feathers. It's not a blend of colors, but a case where both are expressing.

4. when more than two alternatives exist for a gene: MULTIPLE ALLELES
Mendel thought that only two possible alternatives could exist for a gene, but there are cases that have more than 3 possibilities. Some of those can be really popular in a population while others not so much.
This happens with rabbit's fur. They can be black, brown, grayish,
Himalayan patterning or white fur.

 5.a condition in which neither pair of alleles is dominant or recessive, so the traits blend in the phenotype: INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE
Some alleles are not completely dominant, and when that's the case the phenotype of a heterozygous organism will be a mix between the phenotypes of its homozygous parents.
For example:
plant 1: RR -red
plant 2: rr-white
By crossing this plants we will obtain 100%  of the offspring with a color mix: pink.(genotype: Rr)
Red and white are not completely dominating so it results in a blend of colors.
