Chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mole

There are mainly two molecules that function as genetic material in living organisms.

These are ribonucleic acid(RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA).

The organisms having DNA as genetic material require packaging of DNA as it is a long polymer of deoxyribonucleotides.

In the case of human beings, the length of DNA in a cell is approximately 2.2 meters which is very large as compared to the size of the nucleus( approximately 10^-6 meters).

So, the DNA has to be made compact for it to be present inside the nucleus of a cell.

Therefore, the DNA present inside the nucleus of a cell undergoes coiling and compaction through several stages before finally becoming a chromosome, which is shown in the adjoining diagram.

Thus, chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

18th of July

Explanation:

Given that each quarter of a moon phase occurs after seven days, hence, if a 1st quarter moon phase appears on the night of July 4th, the approximate date on which a 3rd quarter moon will appear in the night sky on the 18th of July.

This is because, after the first quarter of a moon phase of July 4th, the second quarter of a moon phase will occur on the 11th of July, while the third quarter will occur on the 18th of July.
