Xelga [282]3 years ago

<span>The essential unit of DNA packaging is the nucleosome. A nucleosome consists of a small amount of DNA wrapped up with protein. The proteins that interact with DNA to form chromatin comprise a family of basic (positively charged) proteins called histones. There are five different types of histone protein: H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Of these, two molecules each of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 combine to form a histone octamer. DNA wraps around the octamer, making 1 3/4 turns around the protein complex. The amount of DNA associated with the histone octamer is 146 bp. The octamer plus the DNA comprise what is called the nucleosome core. A small stretch of DNA (60 bp) runs between adjacent nucleosome cores, and is known as the linker. A single nucleosome consists of one core plus a linker. The total amount of DNA involved in a single nucleosome is approximately 206 bp. Chromatin therefore consists of DNA wrapped around one histone octamer after another, like a long string of beads.</span>

Who is most in danger from the effects of overfishing ?
faltersainse [42]

I don't think we can answer this question just like that. The question should be formulated a bit differently:

WHAT is in danger from the effects of overfishing?


Well, in the end of the "effect-spectrum" we are in danger, since we also eat fish. But the most affected species are the ones that form the aquatic ecosystems. Such as fish. Examples:

1 - Many of the fish we eat, feed on sea-weed. If there aren't enough fish to eat the growing population of sea-weed, many fish die of intoxication.

2 - We don't have almost any fish restrictions in a way, because we can eat basically all of them. Therefore, many fish (which are also being eaten) find themselves in a lack of food.

3 - Many times, we concentrate on a specific species, which is a main cause of the extinction of species.



Hope it helped,

melamori03 [73]
In the experiment, the independent variable is the drug amount. Experiment group is given certain amount of drug, control group is not given the drug. The dependent variable is the body fat. I think you means the control is the living environment including food and water.
