Answer:

D. DNA Contains the genetic code / instructions for the cell and the living organism they build

Explanation:

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids that contain the genetic information so that a cell knows exactly what proteins it should make, what function it should serve.

Why not A: DNA and RNA don't strictly build cellular proteins; that job is up more to the ribosome, tRNA, and mRNA. While this could be acceptable, it's not as good an answer as D.

Why not B: This is incorrect.

Why not C: DNA and RNA don't do any of the dirty work of fighting off intruders; that's the job of the immune system, building antibodies, eating the viruses with white blood cells, and using the epidermis as a barrier to keep harmful things out.

The dominant allele is for black fur. The recessive allele is for white fur.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

FF , Black fur.

ff, white fur.

Explanation:

Genotype may be defined as the genetic constitution of the organism whereas phenotype depends on the genotype for the physical expression of the trait.

Let the genotype of the dominant fur (black ) be D and the genotype of white fur (recessive) is f. homozygous means the individual should have the same allele for the trait. A mouse with homozygous dominant has genotype FF . This mouse has black fur. A mouse homozygous for the recessive trait has the genotype f. This mouse has white fur.

Thus, the answer is FF , Black fur.

ff, white fur.
