Answer:

C. Genes are transcribed into mRNA, the mRNA is then translated into proteins, which determines specific traits.

Explanation:

Genes are segments of the genetic material (DNA) that encodes certain products, which are heritable. In the central dogma of biology, genes are expressed via two processes viz: transcription and translation.

Transcription is the process whereby the information in genes are used to synthesize mRNA molecule, while Translation is the process whereby the mRNA molecule is used to synthesize proteins in the ribosome.

The proteins are responsible for the individual characteristics or traits possessed by living organisms. For example, MELANIN GENE is transcribed into MELANIN mRNA, which is then translated into MELANIN PROTEIN responsible for the skin colour (trait).

Describe evolution in your own words.
Korolek [52]
The evolution can be defined as the change in the features of the species over generations that makes the organism adaptable to the changes that occur in it's physical environment. The evolution is based upon the process of natural selection. The theory of evolution also suggests the fact that all species are related but gradual changes occur in them with respect to time. The evolution brings changes in the heritable characteristics which are the characteristics that are passed from the parents to the offspring during reproduction.

Which latent print detection technique is used to detect prints on a non porous surface?
podryga [215]

Answer:

Ninhydrin causes prints to turn a purple color, which makes them easily photographed. DFO (1,2-diazafluoren-9-one) is another chemical used to locate latent fingerprints on porous surfaces; it causes fingerprints to fluoresce, or glow, when they are illuminated by blue-green light.
