Answer:

Explanation:

DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce.

Contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things

The main role of DNA in the cell is the long-term storage of information.

The two major processes that the DNA performs in the cell include:

Storage of genetic information
Synthesis of protein for the regulation of cellular activities.

The DNA stores the genetic information relating to the cell and ensures that the integrity of stored information is preserved and inherited by subsequent generations. It does this by replicating itself in a semi-conservative way and copies of the replicated DNA are inherited by subsequent generations. This is why the DNA is otherwise known as the molecule of hereditary.

DNA is also at the center of protein synthesis. It forms the template for the synthesis of RNA in a process known as transcription and the RNA forms the genetic codes for the synthesis of protein.

Hence, <u>storage of genetic information</u> and <u>indirect regulation of cellular processes</u> are two major processes attributable to the DNA.

In polar areas, solar radiation strikes Earth at a _____.

My name is Ann [436]

Option B, small angle, is the right answer.

The polar areas are also known as the freezing zones are the areas of Earth, are the regions of the planet that encompass its terrestrial poles (the South and North Poles), extending in the polar rings. The term solar radiation is referred to as the electromagnetic radiation released by the sun. In the Polar Zone, the radiations from the Sun hit the surface at a small angle. As a result of this, the distribution of light increases in the atmosphere of the earth.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Parents: yellow, entire petals (CC FF) × white, fringed petals (cc ff) F1 (Cc Ff)

For the cross of a heterozygous F1 individual (Cc Ff) with a homozygous recessive

individual (cc ff) we would expect a phenotypic ratio of 1:1:1:1 for the different phenotypic classes.

Phenotype Observed (O) Expected (E) (O - E)2/ E or ( 2)

Yellow, entire 54 43.75 2.40

Yellow, fringed 58 43.75 4.64

White, entire 53 43.75 1.96

White, fringed 10 43.75 26.0

Total 175 175 35

Degrees of freedom = 4 - 1 = 3. The chi-square value is greater than 12.838 for a probability value less than .005, or 0.5% that random chance produced the observed ratio of California poppies.

B .t is unlikely that random variations produced the observed ratio.

What are the sex cells that develop in pea plants?

mars1129 [50]

Answer: Flowers are the reproductive organs of plants. Each pea plant flower has both male and female parts. The anther is part of the stamen, the male structure that produces male gametes (pollen). The stigma is part of the pistil, the female structure that produces female gametes and guides the pollen grains to them.
