<span>DNA, also known as deoxyribonucleic acid, belongs to a class of polymeric organic macromolecules called nucleic acids.
The only other member of this class is ribonucleic acid, or RNA.
Nucleic acids were first discovered in 1869 by the Swiss scientist
Friedrich Miescher.

<span>DNA and RNA play
important roles as genetic information carriers in biology, enabling the
mechanisms of heredity and protein synthesis. Nucleic acids are
polymers of nucleotides, which are composed of a five-carbon sugar, also
called a pentose sugar, a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group. The
sugar is deoxyribose, in the case of DNA, and ribose, in the case of
RNA.</span>
Answer:
Option (d).
Explanation:
Karyotype may be defined as the process of the determining of the chromosome complement of the individual organism. The complete set of an organism's chromosome can be determined by karyotype.
The karyotype displays the each and every pair of homologous chromosome. The chromosomes are organised according to their shape and size. The abnormal chromosome can easily be determined by the karyotype.
Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
Answer:
This question lacks options, the options are:
A) symbiosis
B) ecosystem
C) community
D) population
E) biosphere
The answer is D) Population
Explanation:
Living organisms in an ecosystem are usually found in numbers living together in a given area. This is termed POPULATION in ecology. A population refers to the group of living organisms that belongs to the same species living together in the same habitat and have the ability to interbreed i.e. mate and reproduce with one another.
This is the case in this question where many sandhill cranes (large flying birds) were observed in a particular area, which represented their habitat. Asides the group of sandhill cranes living together, they were also observed to be interbreeding. This was evident in the observation of two sandhill cranes hopping up and down around their bright orange baby. This shows that members of the population are capable of mating and reproducing fertile offsprings.
This observation completes what a POPULATION is all about, hence, a population was observed.
It's some change in the conditions around the organism, which the organism can detect and respond to. A change in temperature, more light, or something physically poking the organism are examples.
Answer:
1. They make up part of a negative feedback system that promotes insect population growth.
Explanation:
If the Martin becomes extinct, it will cause an increase in insect population, as there is no predator to maintain the population. A population growth of insects would be a problem as it will destroy crops and agriculture.
