A gene is best defined as Select one:. a) a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that codes for a functional product. b) a transcribed unit of DNA. three nucleotides that code for an amino acid. c) a sequence of nucleotides in RNA that codes for a functional product. d) a segment of DNA.

a) a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that codes for a functional product

Explanation: A gene is a segment of a DNA molecule that contains the information required for the synthesis of a functional biological product, whether a protein or RNA.

Genes are transcribed into an mRNA in the process of transcription which is then used for the synthesis of a protein. Not all segments of DNA code for the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide. The coding regions are called the genes while the non-coding regions are called the introns or intervening segments.

if the hares very faster than they are now, and thus the lynx's hunting success rate drops because it will be harder to catch them, the rate that will change will be the pray-rate. the pray-rate will change because more hares will be able to survive, thus more individuals for reproduction, so the end result will be increasing population of hares.

the predator-rate will remain pretty much the same because there will be more than enough pray, but the hunting success rate is stagnant.
