Answer:

During cell division, genetic material of parents in the form of genes and alleles is transferred to the offspring. DNA is responsible for encoding genetic information.

Explanation:

DNA consists of genetic information in the form of nucleotide which are nothing but chemical compounds composed of phosphate, sugar and four nitrogenous bases. DNA consists of two chains made up of nucleotide with alternate sugar and phosphate group.  

All living beings exhibit genetic information forms their ancestors and hence they carry genetic material from two parents in case of sexual reproduction and one parent in case of asexual reproduction. Genes carry allele which is responsible for expressing any physical trait.

Answer:

In winter, the forest is extremely cold. The roots of the evergreen plants are unable to access water. The needle-like structure of these trees minimizes water loss from transpiration. The needles are also dark in color. The color allows them to absorb maximum sunlight for photosynthesis. Even with little food, the animals in the biome can access food from these trees. Squirrels can eat the seeds from the pinecones. Crossbill birds have special beaks that allow them to access the seeds. Moose eat sappy twigs. They’ve also adapted to build fat reserves to help them survive the harsh winter. Some animals hibernate, and others migrate to warmer places to survive the winter. During summer, the long days allow abundant photosynthesis. So, there’s increased plant growth accompanied by increased insect activity. Trees with seasonal leaves develop new leaves. Birds that had migrated return during the summer, when food is readily available. The plants and animals work as a system to obtain an adequate food supply throughout the year.

For example, in South Korea, the President passed a law that abortions are no longer allowed. People now can not kill the not yet born child in here stomach under no circumstances. This will cause the growth rate to go up in South Korea.

Which term refers to a segment of DNA that produces a protein that forms the building blocks of our body?
NISA [10]

The best choice is A.

A gene is a specific sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that is located usually on a chromosome and that specifies the structure of a particular polypeptide and especially a protein, or controls the function of other genetic material.

Information from the gene is copied (transcribed) on mRNA in the nucleus. mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to a ribosome. The information on the attached  mRNA is  decoded (translated) by tRNA  which then fetches the amino acids according to this information and brings them to the ribosome where they are linked together to form the specified protein.
