Answer:

B. Carry heredity information

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are one of the four types of biological molecules in nature. The other three being: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids. Nucleic acids consists of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic acid (RNA).

DNA is a nucleic acid found in the NUCLEUS of eukaryotic cells or nucleoid region of prokaryotic cells where it functions to store or hold genetic information for the cell. On the other hand, RNA functions to carry the stored information in order to be expressed. Hence, according to this question, the nucleic acid functions to carry heredity information.

What happens in the G2 phase of the cell cycle?
balu736 [363]
The Best Answer :
 <span>"G2 phase is the third, final, and usually the shortest subphase during interphase within the cell cycle in which the cell undergoes a period of rapid growth to prepare for mitosis. It follows successful completion of DNA synthesis and chromosomal replication during the S phase, and occurs during a period of often four to five hours. This far into interphase the nucleus is well defined, bound by a nuclear envelope and contains at least one nucleolus. Although chromosomes have been replicated they cannot yet be distinguished individually because they are still in the form of loosely packed chromatin fibers. The G2 phase prepares the cell for mitosis (M phase) which is initiated by prophase. 
At the end of this gap phase is a control checkpoint (G2 checkpoint) to determine if the cell can proceed to enter M phase and divide. The G2 checkpoint prevents cells from entering mitosis with DNA damaged since the last division, providing an opportunity for DNA repair and stopping the proliferation of damaged cells. Because the G2 checkpoint helps to maintain genomic stability, it is an important focus in understanding the molecular causes of cancer."</span>

Licemer1 [7]

A batsman is unlikely to score a century in every cricket match. This is an example of "partial reinforcement".

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Unlike constant reinforcement, partial reinforcement is only strengthened during certain times or time ratios, rather than emphasizing the action every single time. This method of arranging reinforcement is also called intermittent reinforcement after certain number of correct answers or certain interval of time. Thus here a batsman donot plan intentionally to make a century in every cricket match, but it goes random. Although when they need to score high on pressure, they force themselves to stretch as much possible which is not general.

The process that many forms of life developed through history by mutation and natural selection. And the most common answer to a question why are we here is the simple process of evolution.
