Answer:

selective permeability

Explanation:

The cellular membrane is selectively permeable which means it allows the movement of little essential substance from outside and movement of non-essential substances from inside. Along with this several neural activities are controlled through this property of cell membrane that allows to and fro. Movement of specific kind of ions.

It does not allow movement of all substance, particles and ions through it and hence they are selective.

Natural selection. The trait that is unfavorable to the baby giraffe's survival will cause the death of giraffes with that specific gene that is responsible for a short neck vs a long neck. Natural selection causes traits that help the survival of the species will be carried throughout generations while unfavorable traits will be lost.

Chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mole

There are mainly two molecules that function as genetic material in living organisms.

These are ribonucleic acid(RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA).

The organisms having DNA as genetic material require packaging of DNA as it is a long polymer of deoxyribonucleotides.

In the case of human beings, the length of DNA in a cell is approximately 2.2 meters which is very large as compared to the size of the nucleus( approximately 10^-6 meters).

So, the DNA has to be made compact for it to be present inside the nucleus of a cell.

Therefore, the DNA present inside the nucleus of a cell undergoes coiling and compaction through several stages before finally becoming a chromosome, which is shown in the adjoining diagram.

Thus, chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules.

Is DNA synthesized continually during the cell cycle

vagabundo [1.1K]

No
DNA is synthesized in the middle part of Interphase, which is usually denoted S in the series G1 - S - G2 "There are 3 stages of interphase: G1 in which the cell grows and functions normally. Once it grows too large it enters the synthesis (S) phase. In S phase the cell makes exact copies of its DNA. It is now ready for G2 phase where it makes sure all of its chromosomes and organelles are ready for mitosis."
