A gene is (in informal use) a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
Answer:
The endocrine system is a chemical messaging network. Endocrine glands secrete hormones, which are carried by the circulatory system throughout the body. The primary endocrine glands are the pituitary, hypothalamus, pineal gland, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreas, ovary, and testis. Hormones maintain homeostasis in the body.

Answer:
b: 8;8
Explanation:
Mitotic or meiotic cell division constitute the m phase of the cell cycle. At the end of the m phase, the new cells enter the interphase stage of the cell cycle. The interphase is further sub-divided into;
- <em>the
phase,</em> - <em>the
phase,</em> - <em>the S phase; and</em>
- <em>the
phase</em>.
The phase is essentially a resting phase. Cells that do not need to divide except when necessary move into this phase after exiting the m phase.
Actively dividing cells enter the phase after exiting the m phase. Cell development and growth takes place. From there, the cells enter the S phase where DNA replication/synthesis takes place. The cells then enter the phase where proteins are synthesized in preparation for division or m phase.
At the S phase, the amount of DNA a cell carries is doubled but the chromosome number remains the same. For example, if a cell enters the S phase with 2 g of DNA containing 10 chromosomes, at the end of S phase, the amount of DNA would have come 4 g while the number of chromosomes will remain 10.
Hence, if the average amount of DNA in the assayed cells immediately after mitosis is 4 picograms, the amount would be 8 picograms at the end of S phase and will still remains 8 picograms at the end of phase.
The correct option is b.
It is the nucleus that contains DNA and controls the functions of the cells
Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases. If the mass of one of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is doubled. If the mass of one of the objects is tripled, then the force of gravity between them is tripled. If the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is quadrupled; and so on.
