Radiation can damage DNA. This could result in a change in the proteins which make up the plant's physical structure.
<span>For example, a plant might have a gene for purple pigment which makes its flowers purple. Radiation might change the DNA sequence so that the directions for making the purple pigment tell it to stop prematurely, and the result might be white flowers rather than purple flowers.</span>
Answer: C
Explanation:
LD50 is a measure of toxicity in animals. A chemical with a smaller LD50 is more toxic and in this question, Shiga toxin has a lower LD50, thus it is more lethal.
Answer:
a) DNA fragments associated with histone proteins are all multiple in length (i.e., 260 bp, 520 bp, 780 bp, etc), thereby suggesting the presence of a pattern of organization in the chromatin
b) it suggests that each unit of organization (ie, each nucleosome) consists of 260 bp associated with chromatin proteins
Explanation:
The nucleosome is considered as the basic unit of chromatin. A nucleosome consists of approximately two turns of DNA wrapped around a core of eight histone proteins (i.e., a histone octamer). The histone octamer consists of two copies of each of the histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Moreover, the nucleosomes are connected together by linker DNA sequences which vary between 10 and 100 bp in length.
