<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct statement is option A which is, "A gene is a segment on the DNA. DNA is wrapped in proteins to form a chromosome".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • A gene is the part of DNA in the nucleus which encodes for the specific trait in the body. DNA is the nucleotide sequence which is the blue print for the whole organism. It contains genes for all the structures and functions in the body.
  • So it is very long sequence containing the million of genes. So in nucleus it is present in compress form. It is wrapped on the histones proteins and condense and supersondense into a specific structure which is known as chromosome.

The graph below is of directional selection. Which statement can be supported by the evidence shown in the graph?
7nadin3 [17]

<u>Answer</u>: C) Directional selection occurs when one of two extreme phenotypes is selected for.

The type of natural selection known as directional selection is defined in population genetics in the case in which an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotype. Thus, the population and its allele frequency will evolve towards this end of the trait spectrum (extreme phenotype). This is also the case illustrated in the graph where the right side represents the extreme phenotype.

There is an algal bloom in a lake in a populated area. As the leading scientist for the water department, what is the most impor
tatuchka [14]
The best option is D. Based on scientific evidence about algal bloom, it would be best to evacuate all humans from the area around the lake. Algal bloom is caused by excess nutrients in the lake. This occurrence is linked to the death of fishes, plants, mammals and birds. Also. it has been said to cause human illnesses. Thus, to avoid this, it would be best to stay away from the lake with algal bloom.

The letter X in the diagram below represents what enzyme used in the process shown?
Anvisha [2.4K]

<u>Answer</u>: Option D. RNA polymerase.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Transcription is the process which is used to produce RNA from a DNA template.
  • The enzyme involved in the process of transcription is <em>RNA</em> <em>polymerase</em> which is responsible for separating the DNA strands and making an RNA which is complementary to the DNA.
  • RNA polymerase joins the nucleotides in the newly formed RNA strands by utilizing the energy released from the cleavage of the additional phosphate bonds that are removed by it.
  • The RNA polymerase dissociates from the DNA only after the process of transcription is complete.

Meiosis occurs in a series of different phases and creates genetically unique reproductive cells. mc012-1.jpg Which process help
DIA [1.3K]
Meiosis occurs in a series of different phases and creates genetically unique reproductive cells. The process which helps make meiotic cells genetically different and occurs during prophase I, but not during prophase II, is crossing over (C). Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between two homogenous chromosomes. It is one of the final phases of prophase I. This process is called synapsis. It occurs when the matching regions on the matching chromosomes break and then reconnect to the other chromosome
