The chemical composition of chromatin is DNA and protein. This implies the correct answer is B.

Chromatin is made of DNA and proteins and can be found in the nucleus of individual cells. The main function of chromatin is to compress the DNA into a smaller unit so that it can be well fit into the nucleus.

In other words, for DNA to be positioned properly within the nucleus it has to be compressed into compact unit and be less voluminous, therefore, the compression is made possible by the chromatin.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

The proteins that are present in the chromatin are also known as histones and also carry out certain functions. One of the functions of histones is to arrange DNA into structures also known as nucleosomes. Histones help to provide a base which serves as covers for the DNA.

There about 150 pairs base of DNA sequence that can be found in the nucleosomes. These DNA sequence are covered by a group of eight histones which are also referred to as octamer.

Chromatin allows mitosis and meiosis to take place and its function is also not limited to the controlling of gene expression during DNA replication.

Therefore, the chemical composition of chromatin is DNA and protein

Which of the following statements about soil formation is true?

Kisachek [45]

B. Precipitation affects the rate at which nutrients are removed from soil.

Soil is known to be a loose mixture of rock fragments, water, organic materials and air that usually accommodate the growth of vegetation. Thus, formation and development of soil is a dynamic process rather than static and soil is present when pre-historic animals roamed the Earth and some these animals are preserved only fossilized soils buried deep beneath our present soil.

<span>2. </span>Infertility: which results from anovulation (ovaries are unable to release an egg cell during ovulation)

<span>3. </span>Obesity: at least 40% of females with PCOS are obese

A girl of normal stature is born to two parents with achondroplasia who have very short stature, especially disproportionately s

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant disorder that is expressed in both homozygous and heterozygous dominant genotypes. Since two affected parents have a normal girl child, both the parents should be heterozygous carrier for the disease. Let's assume that the dominant allele "A" is responsible for the disease. Genotype of both the parents of the girl would be "Aa". The genotype of girl with normal stature is "aa". Genotype of her normal partner is "aa".

A cross betwee aa X aa would get all the progeny with "aa" genotype. Therefore, all of their children would have normal stature and there is 0% probability for them to have a child with achondroplasia.
