1 answer:

5 0

- Nucleic Acids. The nucleic acids are DNA and RNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid, respectively.

-Proteins. Proteins are probably the most versatile of all the organic molecules, making up many structures and executing various functions within organisms.

-Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates comprise the largest number of organic molecules in organisms. Basically, carbohydrates are sugars; their origin can be traced to photosynthesis, the process by which organisms such as plants use sunlight to transform carbon dioxide and water into food.

-Lipids. Lipids, perhaps better known as fats, come in different forms in your body and contain the most energy of all the organic compounds.

Population: a particular group or type of people or animals living in a place.

Gene pool: the stock of different genes in an interbreeding population.

Mutations: the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes.

Lateral Gene Transfer: the movement of genetic material between unicellular and/or multicellular organisms other than by the transmission of DNA from parent to offspring (reproduction).

Single-gene Traits: when a trait is linked to one gene-pair that consists of two alleles.

Polygenic Traits: is one whose phenotype is influenced by more than one gene.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Observations generate a scientific question, leading to a hypothesis, which can be tested through an experiment.

Explanation:

In any scientific knowledge development process, scientists need to follow the scientific process in a particular sequence that helps in developing and testing a hypothesis.

The sequence has:

observation: Observation requires you to pay attention to occurrences around

Forming question: on the basis of observation form a question about why that occurrence happens.

Hypothesis formation: The hypothesis is your initial prediction on why that happens.

Experiment: The experiment is being done in order to collect data and analysis so you can test your hypothesis
