Biology
1 answer:
damaskus [11]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

A chromosome is a structure that is made of a chemical known as deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA as well as protein. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of cells. Chromosomes contain many genes.

A gene is a molecular unit of heredity. Each gene codes for a polypeptide, which becomes a protein that performs a function in a living thing. The DNA molecules are very long and in order to fit inside the nucleus of a cell, they are highly coiled and condensed. During sexual reproduction, one haploid set of chromosomes is given to the offspring from each parent, forming a diploid amount of chromosomes in the offspring.

Since chromosomes contain all of our genes, an organism that reproduces sexually gets a combination of genes from both parents. Genes that are expressed produce an organism's phenotype.

The ozone layer protects life on Earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is located between 17 kilomet
Zolol [24]
The correct answer is (2) - Stratosphere. Ozone is found in the stratosphere , a layer beginning between 6 and 10 miles above the earth's surface and extends upward to about 30 mile above the surface of he earth. The ozone that is found in the stratosphere absorbs most of he harmful ultraviolet sunlight and is thus called the "good ozone" Ozone is also found in the lower region of the atmosphere known as the troposphere. But the ozone here strongly reacts with molecules causing toxicity in plants. The ozone is therefore termed as "bad ozone."

MrRa [10]
Carbohydrates provide structural support, in the form of cellulose in cell walls, for plants in addition to providing energy for the organism
Proteins are essential for muscle tissue's growth and development as well as, in the form of hormones and hormonal regulation, maintaining an organism's homeostasis.
Lipids make up the bilayer of cell membranes, and also aid hormonal signaling.
Nucleic acids store genetic information, and allow for ribosomal protein synthesis.

azamat

"Gravitational attraction" is initially responsible for the formation of the clumps of matter within this interstellar cloud.

<u>Answer:</u> Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

About 4.6 billion years ago, the solar systems were a bunch of gases and dusts, referred to solar nebula. Gravity squeezed the material as it started to rotate, creating the sun at the middle of the fog.

The rest of the material began to accumulate with the sunrise. The smaller particles moved together to form larger particles that were connected by gravity. As lumps develop, gravity increases and turns into kinetic energy of moving particles that collide and produce heat.
