The table shows the relative size of the genomes (total DNA in the nucleus), number of genes, and number of chromosomes for a va

riety of different organisms. What is the relationship between the complexity of an organism and the number of chromosomes that it has?

You don't show the table...but you should see that the more complex an organism, the more chromosomes and the more genes it has.

A bacteria has a small genome. perhaps it has about 5000 genes. it also has 1 chromosome.

Yeast are more complicated than bacteria. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (the yeast that makes beer, wine and bread, has about 6300 genes and 16 chromosomes.

A human has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), and has likely around 20,000 genes.

Answer:

There is a weak link between advanced organisms and more chromosomes, but some organisms do not follow this rule.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are long strands of DNA associated with histone proteins in a complex arrangement that can be seen under an optical microscope on cells in the metaphase phase of cell division. These structures are located in the nucleus and vary from one species to another. In man, there are 46 chromosomes in each somatic cell.

Although we are bound to believe that more complex organisms have a greater number of chromosomes to manage all of this complexity, however, this is not always true. An example of this can be seen between plants and humans, although humans are more complex, the number of chromosomes is proportional to the number of chromosomes in plants.

Discuss ONE type of control that occurs at the chromosomal/DNA level and ONE that occurs at the mRNA level. Compare these two co
blagie [28]

Answer:

One type of control that occurs at the DNA level is the regulator genes. The regulator genes synthesize a repressor molecule that binds to the operator and stops transcription of the structural genes. Whenever there is enough amount of structural genes made, a repressor molecule will bind to the operator region and stop further transcription.

One type of control that occurs at the RNA level is RNA splicing. By this method, different proteins can be made by a single RNA transcript.

What term describes the condition of a desert mouse that lowers its metabolic rate and “sleeps” during the hot day?
Pavlova-9 [17]

The correct answer is C. Estivation

Explanation:

In biology, estivation refers to a lethargic state that is mainly prompted by high temperatures, different from hibernation that occurs in the winter or at low temperatures. However, as hibernation estivation implies the organism of animals lowers the metabolic rate with the purpose of avoiding to die due to the high temperatures and the lack of resources including water. This can occur in both vertebrate and intervertebral animals including small animals. This implies, the mouse  described which is a small animal probably is going through estivation as due to hot temperatures the organism lowers the metabolic rate, which is exactly what occurs in this process.
