Answer:

A. chromosome

Explanation:

Chromosomes are typically what you see in a chart like karyotype that shows all the chromosomes of a particular organism. These are the highly condensed structures of DNA during replication which makes it easy to transfer DNA during replication.

Answer:

A. Chromosome

Explanation:

Each of your 46 cells has a chromosome, which is a very long strand of DNA with a combined length of around 3 meters! The DNA is wound around protein beads known as histones, and then histones are wound together to form larger and larger organized coils. This is done to prevent them from bunching and knotting together as headphones in your pocket used to before we were all wireless. The volumes of this blueprint, if DNA is the blueprint for everything that goes into creating our bodies, are known as chromosomes. Each of them has an extremely long word that can only be formed using four different types of letters (G, A, T and C). Genetic code is the process by which our body decodes a word to determine its meaning in smaller bits and the location of its genes. Genetic sequence is the term used to describe the letter order. The short arm, centromere, and long arm are the three structural components of each chromosome, which can vary in length. When a cell divides, it makes a copy of the chromosome, and the old and new copies are momentarily clipped to one another by their centromeres. The centromere is a particular segment of DNA that plays a crucial function in this process. Additionally, the centromere contains a "reel" connected to it that pulls the chromosome to each of the separated cells during cell division. Because the size of the chromosome arms is never exactly equal, one must be shorter and the other must be longer. Our genes are located in these arms.

The DNA that makes up the blueprints for all of the proteins your body produces is found in the core of each and every one of your cells.

The DNA organizes itself into 46 distinct bundles when a cell is prepared to divide. which, based just on size and the chains of nucleotides that make up the DNA's "ladder" portion, really seems to be 23 separate pairs of bundles (remember, 99.9 percent of all human DNA is identical from person to person, so the DNA you get from your mother looks an awful lot like DNA from your father). Unless you're a man, in which case you have two misaligned chromosomes and 22 pairs of chromosomes (that would be the "X" and the "Y").

The mitochondrion, like the nucleus, has two or more membrane layers. How is the innermost of these layers different from that o
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The double membrane of the mitochondria is highly folded,and therefore wider when unfolded than that of the nucleus.This is an adaptive feature  to increase the surface area for reactions (electrochemical  gradient) by accommodating protons pumped into it by the proton motive force(PMF)  from the matrix to set up the electrochemical gradients needed to generate the energy needed by ATPase synthase enzymes for ATPs synthesis.

Required number of protons needed to be accommodated by the double membrane to generate enough energy for ATPase synthesis,therefore larger surface area is needed.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The presence of these structures in this stage may be a prediction of a common ancestor as these structures are not gills because they do not develop into gills in chicks and humans but being so similar to gill structures in fish at this stage in their embryo suggests that chicks and humans share a common ancestor with fish.
