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.

Why are there more stomata in the bottom of leaves
Jobisdone [24]

Stomata play an important role in photosynthesis as they allow the plant to absorb carbon dioxide from the environment. In exchange, stomata allow oxygen, which is a waste product of photosynthesis, to be released. In the process, water vapor is also lost as the internal parts of the leaves are exposed. To reduce exposure, stomata are found on the underside of the leaves. They are protected from the sun as excessive heat can increase the rate of water vapor leaving and thus wither the plant. Stomata also have guard cells around the epidermis that close when too much water is being lost.

How can you tell if a article is secondary source or primary source
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Whether or not the article describes persenal experience is the major determining factor in this question. If the article tells the story of another, it is secondary, if the article was written by someone who is recounting on their experience, it is first peron. Hope this is clear and understandable.
