Answer:

whole numbers

Explanation:

Meristic traits are referred to as traits that are countable, hence the phenotypes are described by whole numbers instead of irrational, prime, complex or imaginary numbers. Meristics traits are usually associated with fishes, it is used to characterize different known species of fish or can also be employed in identifying unknown fish species. Meristic studies are mostly done on dead fishes than on living fishes

An example of a countable trait in fishes is the number of gill rakers. The identification of the number of gill rakers can be used in identifying the specie of fish.

Ray Of Light [21]

Seedless vascular plants are classified into three phyla namely the club mosses, horsetails and ferns. Ferns form the numerous seedless plants with true vascular tissue, creeping underground stems called the rhizomes and large leaves called the fronds. They reproduce via spores.

Ferns crowd on the forest floors even after cutting them down. They invade the cleared zone of forest which has been cut for timber via numerous spores. The spores are in clusters called sori on the underside of the leaves. The spores develop into haploid gametophytes by mitosis. They also grow by spreading their rhizomes or from the tips of their fronds.

Which of these components are found in the DNAs of all living organisms? Group of answer choices Estrogen & Testosterone Hem
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Cytosine & Guanine

Explanation:

Living organisms contain in their cell a biomolecule responsible for the storage and transmission of genetic information called NUCLEIC ACID. DNA is one of the two nucleic acids found in living cells. However, the DNA molecule is a polymer made up of monomeric units called NUCLEOTIDES.

Nucleotides of a DNA are made up of three components namely: 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine). Hence, based on the question, Cytosine & Guanine are the components (nitrogenous base) found in the DNA of all living organism.
