Answer;

-Ability to catalyze biochemical reactions

Explanation;

-Carbohydrates and proteins are very important macromolecules that the body needs in significantly larger quantities together with lipids, as compared to other nutrients like vitamins or minerals, for a healthy life.

-Carbohydrates are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and they are required by the human body as an energy source, while are organic compounds made up of interlinked chains of amino acids, which consist of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.

Apart from the structure and element composition, carbohydrates and proteins differ in a number of ways, these includes; carbohydrates are the body’s main source of fuel that enables it to function, proteins are the building blocks of the body.

Carbohydrates are needed by the body to make it run and function, while we need proteins to keep our muscles and glands healthy. Additionally, proteins have the ability to catalyze biochemical reactions a major feature that differentiates it from carbohydrates and other macromolecules.

seropon [69]

Answer:

Option D, 75%

Explanation:

Let the genotype of co dominant checkered hen mates and checkered rooster be CcC and CcC

Where Cc – is the allele for chekered skin  

C – is the allele for non chekered skin

Co-dominant allele are those which irrespective of being dominant or recessive are expressed equally.  

The punnet square for the cross between these two would be  

Cc C

Cc CcCc CcC

C CCc          CC

3 out of 4 offsprings have chekered allele i.e CcCc, CcC and CcC. Thus, the probability of chekered offsprings would be 75%

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

d.The transferred traits were heritable.

Explanation:

Griffith's experiments with S. pneumoniae were significant  because they showed that traits could be transferred from one organism to another and these transferred traits are known to be as heritable traits. In another experiment carried out by Hershey and Chase experiment it was confirmed by the results that DNA is actually the hereditary material not the protein.
