Answer:

Genome, chromosomes, and genes are all different DNA structures related to each other.

Explanation:

  The genome is the set of hereditary material of an organism, the sequence of nucleotides that specify the genetic instructions for its development and functioning and that are transmitted from generation to generation, from parents to children.

  The genome is organized into chromosomes, chromosomes are X-shaped supercoiled DNA structures. Each species has a characteristic number of chromosomes. In the human species each somatic cell has 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and one pair of sexual chromosomes (X and Y).

  A gene is a unit of DNA information that encodes a functional product, such as proteins.  Genes represent approximately 1.5% of the genome. Each gene have a location within the chromosomes called locus.

<h2>A) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Skin has two types of sweat glands: eccrine and apocrine

Eccrine glands occur over most of the body and open directly onto the surface of skin whereas apocrine glands open into the hair follicle, leading to the surface of the skin and develop in areas abundant in hair follicles, such as on scalp, armpits and groin

The eccrine gland is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system and regulates body temperature

In some animals, when internal temperature rises the eccrine glands secrete water to the skin surface, where heat is removed by evaporation

Eccrine glands when active are considered major thermoregulatory devices

Smaller mammals, such as rodents, cannot endure dehydration and hence possess no eccrine glands at all
