How can RNA be distinguished from DNA?

How many carbon dioxide molecules are needed to make one glucose molecule?

The sequence of nitrogen-containing bases on the template strand of DNA of a gene determines the sequence of:

 Assume that an incompletely dominant gene controls the feather color in chickens so that BB produces black, BW produces a slate-gray color called blue, and WW produces asplashed-white.  A second gene on a separate chromosome controls comb shape, with the dominant gene R producing a rose comb and the recessive genes rr producing a single comb. If a pure breeding black, rose-comb chicken is mated with a white, single-comb chicken, what proportion of the offspring will be white, single-comb chickens?

_________ contain(s) hydrolytic enzymes to digest biological macromolecules, worn out organelles, and material from endocytosis.

An organisms’s physical or observable traits due to the genes it possesses is known as the:

The process of converting the “message” of mRNA into a sequence of amino acids is called:

Both Mr. and Mrs. Smith have freckles (dominant) and unattached earlobes (dominant). Some of their children have freckles and attached earlobes.  Some of their children have no freckles and unattached earlobes.  What proportion of their children can be expected to have no freckles and attached earlobes?  

A white blood cell is engulfing and ingesting a bacterium into a food vacuole.  This is called:

If red blood cells are taken from the body and placed in a hypotonic solution, what happens to the cells?
