Answer:

The correct answer will be option D.

Explanation:

Genes are the coding sequence of the DNA which codes for specific proteins required for a function.

These genes are present physically as the segments on the DNA. These genes are important to an organism as they control a specific trait like the color of flowers and skin of a human.

The genes are located on a site called "locus' on pair of homologous chromosomes that is one on each chromatid. The number of genes varies from chromosomes that are genes can be present in a large number on a single chromosome.

These genes become functional only after they find a complementary pair on the chromosomes, the reason parents need to donate their genes during fertilization.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Answer:

d. Under normal circumstances, each chromosome contains precisely one gene.

Explanation:

The gene is a segment of a DNA molecule, responsible for genetically inherited traits. Each gene consists of a specific DNA sequence that contains a code (instructions) to produce a protein that performs a specific function in the body. Each human cell has about 25,000 genes.

The genes are located within the chromosomes. A chromosome can house thousands of genes, it is not normal for a chromosome to house a gene or a few units. Thus, if a cell contains 46 chromosomes, that cell has an incalculable number of genes.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

   Ice cream isn't exactly a meal but when you go through the process of making it, it starts out as a liquid then becomes solid. Most people who've made ice cream as a kid have done the experiment with 2 Ziploc bags, kosher salt, heavy cream, vanilla, sugar, and milk. And of course the ice. You begin to get a solidified figure once you mix everything in the first bag then surround that bag with another bag filled with the ice and salt and shake.  So this would count as  physical change.

 If you cook a steak it'd go through a chemical change. The proteins in the meat begin to break down due to the heat in a skillet, grill, pot, etc. This meat also goes through a physical change. The color changes and so does the texture. (Not that I've ever had raw meat. Bleh!)

Hope this helped!
