When would chromatin be the most tightly coiled?

2 answers:

7 0

When Prophase is occur, during this stage, changes occur both in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus. Within the nucleus, the chromatin fibers become more tightly coiled and folded, forming discrete chromosomes that can be seen with the light microscope. The nucleoli disappear. Each duplicated chromosome appears as two sister chromatids joined together, with a narrow waist at the centromere.In the cytoplasm, the mitotic spindle begins to form as microtubules rapidly grow out from the centrosomes which begin to move away from each other.

Chromatin material is tightly coiled during prophase and they appear like threads having length of 0.25 micrometer to 50 micrometer.

Further details

Chromatin

During mitosis thread like tiny network which is visible only under microscope is called chromatin.

Prophase

It is first stage of mitosis and meiosis in this phase chromatin material get tightly coiled and nucleolus disappears. This phase starts just after interphase.

Mitotic prophase

In animal cells it is very first stage and in plant cells it is 2nd stage. In mitotic prophase chromosomes get condensed, Centromere moves away from each other, mitotic spindle forms and nucleoli disappears.

Meiotic prophase

It comprises two stages

1. Prophase I

2. Prophase II

Prophase II is similar to the mitotic prophase. While prophase I is different from prophase II and is also called prolonged phase or lengthy phase. Chromosomes are in form of pair in each diploid cell one from each parent. G2 phase is absent in prophase I of meiosis. Prophase I is subdivided into following stages given below

1. Leptotetene (chromosome visible)

2. Zygotene (pairing of chromosomes starts)

3. Pachytene (pairing is completed)

4. Diplotene (paired chromosomes start separation)

5. Diakinesis (separation completes which was started in diplotene stage)

Androgynous behaviors are solely the product of biological sexual differences.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Androgenous behaviors is not solely the product of biological sexual differences, such as the ability to bear children. It is also regarded as product of evolution and natural selection where an individual may be androgynous, displaying feminine and masculine characteristics or traits based on one’s gender identity and learned gender role. This can be made possible through the ongoing social interactions that individuals have with each other.

All species are either ____________ or ______________. Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then sel

pshichka [43]

Answer:

extant; extinct.

Explanation:

A species is a group of individuals that can interbreed to produce fertile and viable progeny. A species may be present on the earth and is surviving or may not be present now on the earth and have become extinct due to one or more reasons. Extant species are the species living on the earth in the present time while extinct species do not exist now. For instance, Plateosaurus engelhardti is a species of dinosaurs that survived on the earth during the Triassic period but does not exist now. On the other hand, Homo sapiens, Apis indica are some of the examples of the extant species that are surviving on the earth.

Suppose a gene has two alleles, one of which is dominant over the other. An individual whose genotype is for the recessive allel

Trava [24]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the options are:

A. Two copies of the allele that determines phenotype whenever the allele is present

B. Two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent

C. One copy of the allele that determines phenotype when present and one copy of the other allele

D. One copy of each of two alleles that both contribute equally to determining phenotype

The answer is B.

Explanation:

According to Gregor Mendel, a Gene comes in two alternative forms called ALLELES. One allele called the DOMINANT ALLELE is capable of masking the phenotypic expression of the other called the RECESSIVE ALLELE. The dominant allele will always express itself whenever it is present. However, a recessive trait will only be expressed when two alleles for recessiveness occur in the gene.

An individual whose genotype is for the recessive allele will have two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent. This means that in that particular gene, the two present alleles will be recessive alleles.
