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.

Denitrifying bacteria convert nitrate into _____, thus returning nitrogen to _____.
ziro4ka [17]

Denitrifying bacteria convert nitrate into <u>nitrogen gas</u>, thus returning nitrogen to the <u>atmosphere</u>.

Denitrifying bacteria- Numerous phyla are included in the broad class of bacteria known as denitrifying bacteria. This group of bacteria, which is a part of the nitrogen cycle, may carry out denitrification together with denitrifying fungi and archaea.

Phylum (Phyla)- In biology, a phylum is a rank or level of taxonomic categorization that comes after a kingdom but before a class. Although the nomenclature for algae, fungus, and plants is recognized by the International Code of Nomenclature as being equivalent, division rather than phylum has traditionally been used in botany.

Which of the following statements about the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is/are correct?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The correct answers are:

• Liver cells are abundant in SER.  

This is because liver cells contain enzymes that metabolize various lipid-soluble compounds.

• The testes and ovaries are tissue types whose cells are abundant in SER.

This is because testes and ovaries produce steroid hormones (cholesterol is the precursor for their synthesis).

• Cholesterol is made in the SER.  

ER is the organelle at which all membrane lipids are synthesized.

• Phospholipids are synthesized from cytosolic water soluble precursor molecules.  

Phospholipids are the main lipids that are the main structural components of the cell membrane. They are synthesized on the cytosolic side of the ER membrane, from water-soluble cytosolic precursors.

One difference between plants and animals is that plants are
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

c. autotrophs and animals are heterotrophs

Explanation:

There's many differences between the plants and the animals, be it their physical appearance, way of live, how do they function, their requirements for survival. One of the major differences between the plants and the animals is that the plants are autrotrophs, while the animals are heterotrophs. The autrophs are the organisms that are able to produce their own food, thus they are producers, meaning that they do not need nutrition from other organic sources. The heterotrophs on the other side are the organisms that are not able to produce food for themselves, but instead they get their food through consuming of other living organisms, making them primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers.
