For cells that are larger, nutrient intake and waste elimination takes a longer time due to the larger distance that must be covered by the same transport processes as the ones taking place in smaller cells. Shapes that maximize surface area help increase the rate of nutrient uptake and waste elimination.
The answer is...
<u>Closed</u> ecosystems do not experience any new input or output of energy and/or material.
I hope this helps! :)
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
