Answer:
The correct answer for the fill in the blank is - A sequence of bases on the DNA that codes for a trait.
Gene is described as a segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) that codes for a particular protein, which in turn corresponds to a trait/ characteristic of the living organism.
Gene is first transcribed into mRNA ( messenger RNA) through a process called transcription. mRNA is then converted into protein through a process called translation.
The protein thus formed corresponds to a particular trait ( like eye color, hair color).

Answer:
See the explanation below, what is the question you intend to ask anyway?
Explanation:
- Meiosis transmit traits from one generation to the next. It the key process that brings genetic variation into the traits that offspring inherit from their parents. In the life cycle of an organism, meiosis is paired with the process of fertilization.
- Meiosis produces two daughter nuclei with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell as each other.The chromosomes are re-grouped during meiosis to form new combinations of genes. Genetic reunion is very important as a source of genetic variation.

Answer:
Malignant melanoma cells would have active telomerases that constantly replenish and lengthen telomeres.
Explanation:
Telomerase can be described as enzymes which add the repetitive sequences called telomeres at the end of a chromosome. Telomeres can be described as repetitive sequences at the end of the chromosome which are involved in protecting the chromosome from any damage.
In a normal skin cell, the telomeres will shorten with time. But in a malignant skin cell, the telomerase will add the repetitive sequence again and again. The telomers will not be able to shorten.
