Answer:

The correct answer will be option D.

Explanation:

Genes are the coding sequence of the DNA which codes for specific proteins required for a function.

These genes are present physically as the segments on the DNA. These genes are important to an organism as they control a specific trait like the color of flowers and skin of a human.

The genes are located on a site called "locus' on pair of homologous chromosomes that is one on each chromatid. The number of genes varies from chromosomes that are genes can be present in a large number on a single chromosome.

These genes become functional only after they find a complementary pair on the chromosomes, the reason parents need to donate their genes during fertilization.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Answer:

d. Under normal circumstances, each chromosome contains precisely one gene.

Explanation:

The gene is a segment of a DNA molecule, responsible for genetically inherited traits. Each gene consists of a specific DNA sequence that contains a code (instructions) to produce a protein that performs a specific function in the body. Each human cell has about 25,000 genes.

The genes are located within the chromosomes. A chromosome can house thousands of genes, it is not normal for a chromosome to house a gene or a few units. Thus, if a cell contains 46 chromosomes, that cell has an incalculable number of genes.

What do you call a row of large animals separating two yards?
trasher [3.6K]
The answer is play on words, or a pun - a row of large animals separating two yards is called an elefence.
The first part of the word, ele-, obviously refers to elephants, which are large animals. The second part is a fence, which separates two yards. So this is intended to have a humorous effect.

"clumping" or "clouding" in the mixture of the blood and the blood serum is caused by
luda_lava [24]
I think clumping is caused by the mixture of antigen and the corresponding antibody. Agglutination( clumping) is the process that occurs when an antigen is mixed with its corresponding antibody. This is commonly used in blood grouping. An example is the clumping of red blood cells in the presence of an antibody or complement. In blood transfusion Clumping indicates that the blood has reacted with a certain antibody and is therefore not compatible with blood containing that kind of antibody.

Marta_Voda [28]

Out of the following given choices;

A. dendrite.

B. Neuron.

C. axon.

D. neuroglia.

The answer is; B

The basic structure of a neuron is given in the attached image. Input signal coming into a neuron do so through the dendrites that may receive many thousands of input signals. The summation of these signals determine whether there will be the transmission of an impulse on the neuron, that is when the threshold potential is reached. This impulse travels through the axon and into the axon terminals and into the synapse that transmits the impulse to the next neuron.
