Answer: A segment of dna/chromosome containing the instructions for building a protein which will result in a trait is called a GENE.

Explanation:

CHROMOSOMES are made up of two threads called chromatids joined at a point called the centromere.

In the chemical nature of chromosomes, each is made up of a protein framework which has a long molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) coiled round it. A segment of DNA containing the instructions for building a protein which will result in a trait is called a GENE.

The GENES in the cell of a diploid organism contain all the necessary instructions for building up the organism.These instructions are written on a molecular scale.. Most genes contain information to direct the synthesis of specific proteins. Each such protein takes part in the development of a particular character.

A protein is made up of one or more chains of amino acids known as polypeptides. The sequence of bases in a DNA molecule determines the type of amino acid and the sequence in which they are arranged in a polypeptide chain.

A gene therefore is a sequence of triplets of the four bases which specifies the structure of a protein

What is the relationship between blood vessel length and blood flow?
elena55 [62]

The  length of a vessel  is directly proportional to its resistance: the longer the veessel, the greater the resistance and the lower the flow. As with blood volume, this makes intuitive sense, since the increased surface area of the  vessel  will impede the flow of blood.

Why do cells divide instead of just grow larger
hjlf
There are two main reasons why cells divide rather than continuing to grow larger and larger. One of the main reason is that the larger cell become more demanding, therefore the large cell will increase load on the machinery of the cell such as DNA. The other reason is that if the cell grow too large it will be difficult for the cell to move for nutrients and discard the waste across the cell membrane. Also the surface area for each cell will also be reduced, which is required for active functionality of a cell.
