The correct answer is option A. Carrying the genetic code and determining an organism's structure and function are the functions of DNA. It is the hereditary material in almost all other organisms.  The information in a DNA is stored as codes that is composed of chemical bases.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are one of the important biomolecule present on the earth. they are made up of carbon(C), hydrogen(H) and oxygen (O) in 2:1 ratio.

The carbohydrates play significant roles in organisms as:

1. Source of energy : undergo breakdown to provide energy.

2. Storage form: glycogen in animals and starch in plants.

3. Structural role: cellulose in plant cell wall provide the structural hardness and rigidity to the cell wall. Cellulose is a polysaccharide formed by the polymerization of D-glucose via f β-1,4 linkage in linear fashion.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.

What feature of both true mosses and ferns makes it most surprising that they can survive for many generations in dry deserts? U
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A

Explanation:

Desert biomes are characterised by the presence of the arid conditions or with few or less amount of rainfall.

The plant groups called the bryophytes and pteridophytes are dependent on the water for their fertilization which allows completing their life cycle.

In the desert conditions provided in the question, the mosses and ferns survived for many generations as these plant groups produced sperms with flagella which helped the sperms to swim in the water provided by the 10-inch rainfall per year and reach the female gamete and fertilize the egg cell.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

A number of experiments have demonstrated that areas of the genome that are relatively inert transcriptionally are resistant to
algol [13]

Answer:

The DNA strands are not free in the nucleus, but forming a compact structure called chromatin along special proteins, known as histones. The chromatin structure has an important role in gene expression, as the level of compaction and the histone modification act as signals for the transcription machinery

In order to be transcribed, different areas in the genome need to unfold from the histone proteins, so the RNA polymerase can access the DNA.

That means, <u>that DNA sequences that transcribe at high rate, are more often unfold from the histones, and more exposed to other proteins to bind them. Particularly, those areas are more sensitive to the attack of endonucleases, such as DNAse I.</u>

As a consequence, an assay of DNAse I digestion can be used to identify highly sensitive or resistant to DNAse cleavage areas in the genome, and therefore serve as an insight to which sequences are more and less transcriptionally active.
