A chromosome is a Deoxyribonucleic acid molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.

Lerok [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Chromosome is the compact form of genetic material(DNA) present in the nucleus of a cell. These chromosomes are a combination of proteins and DNA. These chromosomes carry our hereditary material in the form of genes.

Each chromosomes carry many genes which are transferred to the next generation. Each chromosome divides into the S- phase and they become compact during the mitosis phase.  

Chromosomes can be seen under the microscope in the metaphase stage of cell cycle. 23 pairs of chromosomes are present in each cell out of which 22 are autosomes and 23rd is the sex chromosome.  

These sex chromosomes is different in both male and female because females have two X chromosomes and male have one X and one Y chromosome as sex chromosome.

How long does interphase last?
Marrrta [24]
The length of interphase (phases of mitotic division of a cell) can vary from organism to organism and cell to cell. 

Interphase includes a few stages: 

G1: this is the longest phase of the cycle. It follows the mitotic division, and is the part where new cells have the chance to start to growing. Proteins are created by the cell so that DNA can be replicated.  Usually takes about 10 hours. 

S: the length of this phase is unique to the quantity of DNA in that specific cell. This is where chromosomes and DNA are replicated and doubled. It usually takes between 5 and 6 hours to complete.

G2: this phase includes the first stage of mitosis. This is where most of the proteins needed for mitosis are created. It's the shortest of the three and usually takes between 3-4 hours. 

So in total, the entire interphase will last anywhere from 18-20 hours.

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

ACAAACUAGAUGGUACCAGAUAAUAUAUAGGCC

Explanation:

Splicing is the process of modification of primary transcript and occurs after the process of transcription. During splicing, intervening non-coding nucleotide sequences called introns are removed. The exons are joined together to make a mature mRNA whose nucleotide sequence would code for protein. The introns (in lower case letters) will be removed from the given sequence of primary transcript during splicing.

Primary transcript: ACAAACUAGAUGGUACgugacagatacagaguagugaaguagCAGAUAAUAUAUAGGCC  

After splicing: ACAAACUAGAUGGUACCAGAUAAUAUAUAGGCC
