I believe the answer is b hope this helps
<span>The correct answer is c. In terms of energy storage, glycogen is to animals what starch is to plants.</span> Glycogen is a form of energy storage in animals and it is the main storage of glucose in the body. <span>Starch also have a large number of glucose units and it is produced by plants.</span>
Answer: B. by toxic chemicals (in smoke) or radiation that can damage the DNA in cells.
Explanation:
The carcinogens presents in cigerates covalently bind to DNA and form DNA adducts which results into miscoding (e.g., insertion of the wrong base) during replication of DNA and this genetic mutation causes uncontrolled cellular growth which causes cancer.
Ionising radiation including X-rays, radioactive particles, and gamma rays,can cause cancer by damaging DNA. high-energy radiation damages DNA and cause genetic mutation same as cigerates and causes cancer.
Both toxic chemicals (in smoke) or radiation damages DNA inthe cells which leads to cancer.
Hence, the correct option is B.
Functionality of Genes and chromosomes is described below.
Explanation:
- Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes.
- Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.
- A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.Every normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
- A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is often determined by more than one gene.Some traits are caused by mutated genes that are inherited or that are the result of a new gene mutation.
- The body produces thousands of different enzymes. Thus, the entire structure and function of the body is governed by the types and amounts of proteins the body synthesizes. Protein synthesis is controlled by genes, which are contained on chromosomes.
- the genotype is a complete set of instructions on how that person’s body synthesizes proteins and thus how that body is supposed to be built and function.
- The phenotype is the actual structure and function of a person’s body. The phenotype is how the genotype manifests in a person—not all the instructions in the genotype may be carried out (or expressed). Whether and how a gene is expressed is determined not only by the genotype but also by the environment (including illnesses and diet) and other factors, some of which are unknown.
- A karyotype is a picture of the full set of chromosomes in a person’s cells.
