DNA  is the basic unit of inheritance

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins.

MARAMENDOZA3434 is right, but for EXAMPLE: if a child was born but two different men were questioned on who was the father, they would have to give some part of DNA in order to find out which man has DNA to the child

How many new volumes would each new cell contain whenever a cell splits?
Elenna [48]
The specific volume will be different for various kinds of cells. The safe answer would be that the new cell will pretty much have the same volume as the one that it divided from. This is true for most eukaryotic cells unless other factors like epigenetics or mutations come into place.

One example of moments a cell would increase in volume is during hypertrophy. This simply means that the cell is increasing in size (compared to: hyperplasia -- which is an increase in number of the cells). Hypertrophy is definitely an increase in volume of the cell but this doesn't necessarily translate to cell division (i.e. just because the cell is big now, doesn't mean it will still be big when it divides).

Another moment of increasing volume of the cell and now also related to cell division would be during the two stages in the cell cycle (i.e., G1 and G2 phases). This is the growth phase of the cell preparing to divide. However when mitosis or division happens, the cells will normally end with the same volume as when it started.

This are safe generalizations referring to the human cells. It would help if a more specific kind of cell was given.

Can you list the types of organisms in order in which they would appear during primary succession?
nignag [31]

Answer:

Primary succession is one type of the ecological succession which takes place on the land devoid of vegetation or barren land.

The species which first flourishes on this barren land are known as pioneer species which includes the species of bryophytes and pteridophytes like lichens and mosses.

These lichens and mosses help breakdown the barren rocks through chemical leaching and help increase the nutrient content. This allows the ferns and small pteridophytes to grow.  

Then the area is colonized by the intermediate species which includes herbs, shrubs later trees. These intermediate species help attract the animals and thus help establish the biological community.

Thus, Lichens mosses → herbs→ shrubs →trees.

How has the artificial manipulation of plasmids been used for technological applications??
sveta [45]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. <span>Plasmids can be used to incorporate a desired gene into something else which is lacking the gene. An example would be that you could take a plasmid from a bacteria which is resistant to an antibiotic and put it into a bacteria which is not resistant to the antibiotic. Therefore, the insertion of the plasmid would make the susceptible bacteria resistant.</span>

Classify each statement as a description of glycolysis, glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, or gluconeogenesis.
loris [4]

Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose where the final product is pyruvate, glycogenesis is the process of formation of glycogen and the product in first step is glucose-1-phosphate. Glycogenolysis is the process in which the initial reactant is glycogen, and gluconeogenesis is the formation of glucose from pyruvate.

<h3>What is glycogen?</h3>

Glycogen is a type of carbohydrate that is stored in the liver and gets converted into glucose in emergency situations.

It is formed by the process of glycogenesis and the first-step product is glucose-1-phosphate.

Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose where the final product is pyruvate.

Glycogenolysis is the process in which have initial reactant glycogen and occurs when brain and muscle require immediate energy.

Gluconeogenesis is the formation of glucose from pyruvate.

Thus, these were the explanation for glycolysis, glycogenesis, glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.
