What provides the information for cell growth and function?
tiny-mole [99]
Answer – DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid)
The DNA provides the information for cell growth and function of all known living organisms. It also carries the information for their development and reproduction. Most of the DNA is located in the cell nucleus (in this case, called nuclear DNA), but some amount of DNA are also contained in the mitochondria (in this case, called mitochondrial DNA)

BigorU [14]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

<em>Let the wild type trait, the silver-white, be represented by </em><em>A</em><em> allele and the mutant trait, the golden color, be represented by </em><em>a</em><em> allele.</em>

Heterozygous wild-type male fish would be Aa

Golden female fish would be aa

     Aa    x    aa

  Aa   Aa    aa    aa

2/4 Aa = silver-white

2/4 aa = golden color

<em>Hence, the percent likelihood of golden offspring is </em><em>2/4 or 50%.</em>

The correct option is b.

That the allele that gives human red blood cells increased resistance to malarial parasites also reduces the amount of oxygen th
ella [17]

Answer:

A (Genotype)

Explanation:

All organisms possess genetic material which contains information required for certain functions/traits. This genetic material is stored as DNA and contains certain segment that encodes functional products (proteins) called GENE. The make-up of the genes responsible for a particular characteristics in an organism is called the GENOTYPE. Genes occur in variant forms called ALLELES, which are inherited from each parent.

These alleles are responsible for the varying expression of a particular trait e.g. allele T can be responsible for Tallness while the variant form, allele t can be responsible for shortness. In this example, we can see that height is the trait here but the different alleles encode varying expression of it. The combination of the alleles received by both parents, which collectively determines the trait to be expressed is the GENOTYPE.

N.B: The genotype refers to the physically invisible genes not the expressed trait itself, which is the phenotype.

In this case, an allele (gene variant) is responsible for the resistance of Red Blood cells and regulates oxygen carried by them. The phenotype is the resistance that the RBC's possess and its reduced ability to carry oxygen but the combination of alleles responsible for that trait is the GENOTYPE.
