Answer:

The correct answer is a gene

Explanation:

The DNA segment that carries information for coding one protein or polypeptide is called a gene. According to one gene-one polypeptide hypothesis, each gene is responsible for making a single chain of the polypeptide.

Originally it was said that one gene codes for one enzyme but later it was found that some gene also codes for non-enzyme proteins and single polypeptide chains. So after this research, the theory was modified and one gene-one polypeptide theory came. Therefore the right answer is gene.

What part of a fish helps it rise?Help ASAP

They use a internal pouch which is named swim bladder.

Explanation; Oxygen will enter a fish’s mouth, and passes through their gills. The oxygen will be taken and gets carried by hemoglobin through their bloodstream. Hemoglobin will take out some of the oxygen into their swim bladder. The amount of oxygen will show if they will sink or rise. Your question is how do they rise. If he goes up too much, the meaning of this is when the gas diffuses into their blood and out the gills.

Got this from a writing, but rephrased it.

What physical change occurs quite frequently in middle-aged men?

Oliga [24]

Answer: A) Balding

Explanation:

Balding is the most common pshysical change in middle-aged men.

Generally speaking, men between 35 and 40 years old develop a state of baldness that although it is not aggravated, it is notorious. Some men even begin to lose their hair at an earlier age, approximately 25 years old and older, although in those cases it is very likely that the cause is a genetic tendency.

Normally, after a certain age range (stated above) the hair fiber begins to lose strength and said follicles simply do not allow hair growth so fast as they did when the individual was younger.

uranmaximum [27]

Streptococcus is a genus of coccus (spherical) Gram-positive bacteria belonging to the phylum Firmicutes[3] and the order Lactobacillales (lactic acid bacteria). Cell division in this genus occurs along a single axis in these bacteria, thus they grow in chains or pairs, hence the nameâ€”from Greekstreptos, meaning easily bent or twisted, like a chain (twisted chain). Contrast this with staphylococci, which divide along multiple axes and generate grape-like clusters of cells.)
