Answer: The given statement is True.

Gene can be described as the segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid), which codes for a particular protein. The protein thus formed, corresponds to a specific trait ( such as skin color, hair color, color of eye) of the individual organism.

They possess set of  instructions for making a protein in the form of nucleotide sequences. Gene undergo transcription to form mRNA ( messenger RNA), which is then converted into particular protein through translation.

Genes are inherited from parents by their offspring and in this way specific traits are inherited by offspring from their parents.

Thus, given statement in the question is correct.

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

B. CO2 out

Explanation:

The excretion is the process of removal of the waste product from the body. The carbon dioxide is the byproduct of the aerobic respiration, which is carries from the tissues and the lungs by blood. In the lungs at alveoli, the carbon dioxide is transferred from the blood to the lungs and released out through the nostrils. Hence, the out of the carbon dioxide represent excretion through lungs.

Is vitamin c prevents sore throat testable by scientific inquiry
sergey [27]
There is not enough evidence to support that <span>vitamin C aid in sore throat. But there is no harm too.

In the medical field, every treatment should be supported by evidence. This practice called evidence-based medicine. There is so much drug claim that actually wasn't supported by research and might be potentially doing more harm than benefit. Theory or argument about why it should work is not enough, you need to do a research to find the truth.</span>

patriot [66]

Correct question:

if a nondisjunction occurs at anaphase I of the first meiotic division, what will the proportion of abnormal gametes (for the chromosomes involved in the nondisjunction)?

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

Nondisjunction at meiosis-I means that two homologous chromosomes of at least one homologous pair fail to separate from each other during anaphase-I. This would result in the formation of one cell with one extra chromosome and the other with one less chromosome by the end of meiosis-I. Meiosis-II in these two cells would maintain this chromosome number in the daughter cells. Therefore, out of the total four gametes formed by the end of the meiosis, two would have one extra chromosome and would be denoted as "n+1". The rest of the two gametes would have one less chromosome and would be denoted as "n-1".
