Chemistry
1 answer:
Kryger [21]3 years ago
8 0

Function

Genes decide almost everything about a living being. One or more genes can affect a specific trait. Genes may interact with an individual’s environment too and change what the gene makes.

Genes affect hundreds of internal and external factors, such as whether a person will get a particular color of eyes or what diseases they may develop.

Some diseases, such as sickle-cell anemia and Huntington’s disease, are inherited, and these are also affected by genes.

Purpose

The purpose of genes is to store information.

Each gene contains the information required to build specific proteins needed in an organism.

Hope this helps !!

Properties of a longitudinal wave
AleksAgata [21]
In longitudinal waves, the oscillations are along the same direction as the direction of travel and energy transfer.
Sound waves and waves in a stretched spring are longitudinal waves. P waves (relatively fast moving longitudinal seismic waves that travel through liquids and solids) are also longitudinal waves.
Longitudinal waves show area of compression and rarefaction. In the animation, the areas of compression are where the parts of the spring are close together, while the areas of rarefaction are where they are far apart.
