The length of linker DNA segments varies somewhat among organisms. The length of the linker DNA in sea urchin is 110 base pairs.

Suppose it were possible to move the entire region of DNA (92,672 base pairs long) from Drosophila melanogaster into the genome of a sea urchin. Approximately how many nucleosomes would be required to organize this region into the 10nm fiber structure?

Answer:

362 nucleosomes

Explanation:

A nucleosome repeat is made up of the DNA (146 bp) wrapped around the core nucleosome particle and the linker DNA (110 bp as in this situation). We can conclude that, every repeat stands for 256 (146 + 110) base pairs of DNA.

We are given the length of the entire region to be 92,672 bp long,

To determine the number of nucleosomes to organize the region into the 10nm fiber structure

Let,

Number of nucleosomes =

the length of the entire region

------------------- -----

base pairs of DNA.

= 92,672

-------

256

= 362 nucleosomes

Therefore, 362 nucleosomes is needed to structure the region into the 10nm fiber structure.

Answer:

Ribonucleic acid is a polymeric molecule essential in various biological roles in coding, decoding, regulation and expression of genes. RNA and DNA are nucleic acids, and, along with lipids, proteins and carbohydrates, constitute the four major macromolecules essential for all known forms of life. Like DNA, RNA is assembled as a chain of nucleotides, but unlike DNA, RNA is found in nature as a single strand folded onto itself, rather than a paired double strand.

Which is the result of binary fission
antiseptic1488 [7]
The correct answer is the second choice, "Two identical prokaryotic cells."

Binary fission happens when bacterial cells copy chromosomes and split into two. It's most common in prokaryotic cells, but can happen in some eukaryotic cells.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

There is no cure for cystic fibrosis, but treatment can ease symptoms and reduce complications.

Explanation:

1). For those with cystic fibrosis who have certain gene mutations, doctors may recommend a newer medication called ivacaftor. This medication may improve lung function and weight, increases the activity of Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)protein and reduce the amount of salt in sweat. It has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for people with cystic fibrosis who are age 6 and older. The dose depends on your weight and age.

2). For people with a certain gene mutation who are age 12 and older, another drug is available that combines ivacaftor with a medication called lumacaftor. This drug is called orkambi.

The use of Orkambi may improve lung function and reduce the risk of exacerbations.

I hope you're clear on this Daxxy
