Answer:
Genes on chromosomes
Explanation:
It has been conclusively established that chromosomes contain the hereditary material or factors that are transmitted from parent to offspring. These factors are called genes. A gene is a short portion of a DNA molecule and is chemical in nature. A gene codes for a specific protein by specifying the order in which the amino acids are linked together.
During meiosis in cell division, oogenesis refers to the production of female reproductive cells, while spermatogenesis refers to the production of male reproductive cells. This determines the reproductive capacity of an organism during and after cell division.
Answer:
Explanation:
It is given that out of 40, total 5 specimen are selected.
Thus, the number of ways in which 5 specimens are selected from a given sample of 40 is given by
Number of specimen with certain trait is equal to 3.
Now, total 5 specimen are selected out of which one specimen is selected from the set of specimen that has certain trait (i.e out of 3) while the remaining four specimen will be selected from the rest 
specimen.
Thus, the probability of choosing only 1 of the 5 specimens with the trait is equal to
A waterborne pollutant can have different effects on aquatic life depending on the nature of the pollutant. A pollutant at lower levels can have minimal or no effect on aquatic life. However, when the concentrations of the pollutant are high, the population of aquatic organisms can be greatly reduced. There are also times when pollutants at lower concentrations cause significant damage. An organism can consume another organism that has absorbed small amounts of the pollutant. As the consumer takes in more of the contaminated organism, the pollutant is magnified in the body of the consumer resulting in lethal concentrations. This is called biomagnification.
