Biology Questions

Genes : The DNA is the genetic material. The DNA is made of several nucleotides. A nucleotide means, one nitrogenous base one sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. These nucleotides occur in sequences and several nucleotides form one Gene ( a functional mgene is called a cistron)

The process accounts for species diversity is Meiosis. Meiosis is termed as a specialized cell division which reduces chromosomes number by half and then creates for haploid cells.

Mutations can disrupt the cell cycle, and can cause certain diseases and conditions.

The process that occurs inside the chloroplasts is photosynthesis. The light from the sun is obserbed and combining with water and CO2, plants prepare food for the plants.

Phosphorescence is a phenomenon associated with an algal division called euglenophytes. 

Phosphorescence is a phenomenon when an object is capable of releasing photons of light at a longer wavelength in response to absorbing light of a shorter wavelength. The object releasing the light only releases the light after some time has passed since it absorbed the light of a short wavelength.

Euglenophytes are single-celled plant-like protists that have no cell wall.

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.

Spongy, porous bone tissue is also called cancellous bone.

Cancellous bone is found in bones that aren't generally under significant stress like in the shoulder blades, ribs, parts of the skull, and at the ends of long bones.
