What is a gene?
- According to Mendel something was being stably passed down, unchanged, from parent to offspring through the gametes, over successive generations. He called these things as ‘factors’ now called as genes. Genes, therefore, are the units of inheritance.
- They contain the information that is required to express a particular trait in an organism.
- Genes which code for a pair of contrasting traits are known as alleles, i.e., they are slightly different forms of the same gene.
- There is no ambiguity that the genes are located on the DNA, it is difficult to literally define a gene in terms of DNA sequence.
- The DNA sequence coding for tRNA or rRNA molecule also defines a gene. A cistron is defined as a segment of DNA coding for a polypeptide, the structural gene in a transcription unit could be said as monocistronic (mostly in eukaryotes) or polycistronic (mostly in bacteria or prokaryotes).

Answer:
The small intestine is about 20 feet (6 meters) long and folds many times to fit in the abdomen. Although it is longer than the large intestine, it is called the small intestine because it is smaller in width.

Answer:
Explanation:
The tar located in the La Brea tar pits is today a fossil fuel that began its formation many hundreds of millions of years ago from the bodies of marine organisms. During the last ice age that ended a few tens of thousands of years ago, some animals got trapped in the tar and left their bones behind. They are not something that created it but only got trapped in preexisting tar.
The answer is <span>Fish are ectothermic and lay eggs to reproduce, while mammals are endothermic and give live birth to offspring.
Through the elimination process:
</span><span>* Fish are <u>invertebrates</u> and have scales and paired fins, while mammals are vertebrates and have fur or hair. - Fish are vertebrates!
</span><span>* Fish are <u>endothermic</u> and have gills, while mammals are <u>ectothermic</u> and have lungs. - Fish are ectothermic (cold-blooded), and mammals are endothermic (warm-blooded)!
</span>* <span>Fish have streamlined bodies and <u>three-chambered hearts</u>, while mammals are <u>bipedal</u> and have four-chambered hearts. - Fish have four chambered hearts and not all mammals are bipedal!
This leaves choice: </span><span>Fish are ectothermic and lay eggs to reproduce, while mammals are endothermic and give live birth to offspring. All of this is true, but it should be taken into consideration that some fish give live birth and some mammals lay eggs, but this is the most possible choice among all mentioned.</span>
