Answer:
carbohydrates
Explanation:
Organic molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of 2-hydrogen atoms to every 1 oxygen atom.
Answer:
1. replication
2. gene
3. strand polarity
4. translation
5. complementary base pairing
6. chromosome
7. antiparallel
8. transcription
9. allele
Explanation:
1. Replication is the process by which DNA is duplicated or the process of making another copy of DNA.
2. Gene is the physical unit of heredity i.e a segment of DNA transferred from parents to offsprings. A gene also encodes a useful products such as protein.
3. A DNA strand is a polar molecule, which is attributed to the phosphate group at the 5'-end of DNA and the hydroxyl group at the 3'-end of DNA.
4. Translation is the process whereby the information in a mRNA molecule is used to synthesize a protein.
5. Complementary base pairing is a phenomenon whereby Adenine (A) binds to thymine (T), guanine (G) binds to cytosine (C).
6. A chromosome contains of single long molecule of DNA coiled together around histone proteins. The chromosome is associated with different types of proteins.
7. In the double-stranded DNA molecule, one strand runs from 5' to 3' and the other runs from 3' to 5'. This is called ANTIPARALLEL nature of DNA.
8. Transcription is the process by which a DNA molecule is used to synthesize a mRNA single strand.
9. Allele is the alternative or contrasting form of a gene. Each allele is contributed by each parent
The organism can produce 12 genetically different gametes.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
The gametes are the unit of sexual reproduction which are produced by an organism from their germ mother cell by means of meiosis. This gametes do carry half the amount of total chromosomes that is present inside each cell of that organism. This process let's the genetic combinations of chromosomes to get more variations among offsprings. But this isn't the only source of variation among the offsprings.
Each and every germ mother cell that's undergoing the meiotic division undergoes a process called crossing over and chaismata formation which gives the genetic mixing among the different alleles of same character among the organism.
Thus, statistically, if the organism has n pairs of chromosomes, then the organism will be able to produce 2n number of genetically different gametes which helps in finding out the probability of genotype of the offsprings.
So if the organism has 6 pairs of chromosomes, then the organism will be able to produce 12 genetically different gametes.
