Answer: The given statement is True.
Gene can be described as the segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid), which codes for a particular protein. The protein thus formed, corresponds to a specific trait ( such as skin color, hair color, color of eye) of the individual organism.
They possess set of instructions for making a protein in the form of nucleotide sequences. Gene undergo transcription to form mRNA ( messenger RNA), which is then converted into particular protein through translation.
Genes are inherited from parents by their offspring and in this way specific traits are inherited by offspring from their parents.
Thus, given statement in the question is correct.
I believe the example of an environmental variation in the above question is, A. Marge dyes her hair blue. Variation represents any difference between cells, individual organisms, or groups of organisms of any species caused by either genetic differences or by the effect of environmental factors. Environmental variation is the ability of an organism to alter its phenotype depending on environmental conditions.
Answer:
Mitosis Occupies a Portion of the Cell Cycle
Explanation:
Today, scientists know that Flemming had successfully distinguished chromosomes in the interphase portion of the cell cycle from chromosomes undergoing mitosis, or the portion of the cell cycle during which the nucleus divides
Answer:
<h2>False</h2>
Explanation:
Natural killer cells (NK cells) are a type of lymphocyte and also a component of innate immune system. NK cells play various functions in immune system and they play a major role in the host-rejection in virally infected cells.
NK cells are activated in response to interferons and also by various other responses. NK cells work to by secreting IFNγ and TNFα. Natural killer cells play a very important role in early host defense against viruses.
