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.

Answer:

D Independent assortment occurs when chromosomes separate during meiosis and causes variations that can be beneficial or harmful to a species

Explanation:

During meiosis, the homologous chromosomes separate and segregate independently of each other. This process is referred to as 'independent assortment'. In consequence, different gene variants or 'alleles' localized in homologous chromosomes segregate independently of each other during gamete formation, thereby one particular gamete has an equal probability to carry either of these segregating alleles. Independent assortment generates genetic variation in the gametes, which can be beneficial or deleterious in a given environment.

Which is a product of the light reaction?
elena-s [515]

Answer: NADPH and ATP

Explanation:

The mechanism of photosynthesis can be divided into two phases, light reaction, and carbon fixation. During the light reaction, photosynthetic pigments absorb radiant energy and undergo a series of photochemical reactions and convert the trapped energy into chemical energy which is stored in the form of NADPH and ATP. These two compounds constitute the assimilatory power. Light reaction is light dependent and it takes place in the grana of the chloroplast.

Why is it cooler in the summer near oceans and lakes, but warmer in the winter?
azamat
The warm air rises and the cooler coastal air moves in to replace it. Since the air is moving from the sea toward the land, this type of breeze is called a sea breeze. At night, the air inland cools down, and sometimes it cools down so much that it is cooler than the coastal air.
