Answer:
The correct option is <em>C. A gene is a specific segment of DNA on a chromosome</em>
Explanation:
Option A is false because a gene is a segment on a chromosome.
Option B is false because a chromosome carries many genes.
Option D is false because a gene carries a segment of DNA, not all of the DNA.
Option C is correct because there are many genes present on a single chromosome. Each gene carries a segment of DNA. The position of a gene on the chromosome is known as its loci.
Answer:
When cancer spreads, it keeps this same name. For example, if kidney cancer spreads to the lungs, it is still kidney cancer, not lung cancer. Lung cancer would be an example of a secondary tumor.
Explanation:
Answer:
Gram positive bacteria have cell walls composed of thick layers of peptidoglycan. Gram positive cells stain purple when subjected to a Gram stain procedure. Gram negative bacteria have cell walls with a thin layer of peptidoglycan.
Answer:
All of the gametes from a homozygote carry the same version of the gene while those of a heterozygote will differ.
Explanation:
A heterozygous individual carries both dominant and recessive alleles of a gene while a homozygous individual carries two copies of either dominant or recessive alleles of a gene. For example, the genotype TT and tt have two copies of dominant and recessive alleles respectively and are therefore homozygous genotypes. On the other hand, the genotype "Tt" is a heterozygous genotype.
An individual with a homozygous genotype would produce all the gametes having the same allele of the gene. The homozygous genotype "TT" would produce all the gametes with one copy of the "T" allele. An individual with a heterozygous genotype makes two types of gametes. The genotype "Tt" would produce 50% gametes having a "T" allele and rest 50% having a "t" allele. Segregation of alleles during meiosis produces different types of gametes in a heterozygous Individual.
