Are genes a segment of DNA containing a set of instructions for making a protein ?
brilliants [131]

Answer: The given statement is True.

Gene can be described as the segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid), which codes for a particular protein. The protein thus formed, corresponds to a specific trait ( such as skin color, hair color, color of eye) of the individual organism.

They possess set of  instructions for making a protein in the form of nucleotide sequences. Gene undergo transcription to form mRNA ( messenger RNA), which is then converted into particular protein through translation.

Genes are inherited from parents by their offspring and in this way specific traits are inherited by offspring from their parents.

Thus, given statement in the question is correct.

What evidence is there that the o’higgins glacier is being affected by global warming?
Leno4ka [110]

A field of corn contains a certain amount of food energy. Compare the following situations and then answer the questions. Use th
trasher [3.6K]

Before assessing the two given cases, an assumption needs to be made about the digestion of the two types of food items, corn and beef. Let us assume that both get digested by expending same amount of energy by the human body. Let the amount of energy at producer level be an arbitrary X.

Case 1: Corn to human:

Since corn is at the producer level, it will have X amount of energy. The transfer of energy from corn to human will take place with a loss of 90% energy at the producer level. Hence the humans will receive 10% of X amount of energy.

Case 2: Corn to cow to human:

Since corn has X amount of energy, only 10% will pass to the next level, i.e. cow. So cow has 10% of X. Cow transfers only 10% of the energy that it has. Hence humans receive only 10% of 10% of X amount of energy.

It can be seen that humans receive more energy in case 1 than case 2. Hence we can say that it is more efficient for humans to feed on corn.
