Correct Answer: long, double chains of nucleic acids.
Explanation:
Gene is a segment of chromosomal DNA or a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function. It is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity.
As genes are made up of DNA it impies that they are long, double chains of nucleic acids as DNA is made of nucleic acids.
Correct Answer: Younger people generally have a slower metabolism than adults.
Explanation:
Metabolism is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of organisms. The three main purposes of metabolism are the conversion of food/fuel to energy to run cellular processes, the conversion of food/fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates, and the elimination of nitrogenous wastes.
Younger people have faster metabolism than adults. Hence, the given statement 'Younger people generally have a slower metabolism than adults' is FALSE.
Correct Answer: TRUE
Explanation:
Air or gas can build up in the pleural space and when this happens, it's called a pneumothorax.
Hence the given statement is TRUE.
Correct Answer: Uracil
Correct Answer: All of the above
Explanation:
The three statements make up the cell theory are::
1. All living things are made up of cells.
2. Cells are the basic unit of structure/function in living things.
3. New cells come frome exisiting cells.
These cells can vary widely, but all living things are composed of cells.
Correct Answer: They are the sites at which microtubules attach to chromosomes.
Explanation:
They are the sites at which microtubules attach to chromosomes.
Correct Answer: Each tRNA binds a particular amino acid.
Explanation:
tRNA abbreviated as A transfer RNA is an adaptor molecule composed of RNA, typically 76 to 90 nucleotides in length, that serves as the physical link between the mRNA and the amino acid sequence of proteins.
Correct Answer: chlamydia
Explanation:
Chlamydial infection is very common in both males and females.
NGU (Non-Gonococcal Urethritis) is an infection of the urethra caused by pathogens (germs) other than gonorrhea.
Several types of germs cause NGU. The most common and serious is chlamydia.
Correct Answer: axon
Explanation:
Schwann cells or neurolemmocytes are the cells in the peripheral nervous system that form the myelin sheath around a neuron's axon.
Correct Answer: All of the above
Explanation:
Major fructose sources include all fruits and honey.
