Which of the following are features of nucleosomes? A nucleosome contains approximately 20 base pairs of DNA. The DNA in a nucle

osome is wound around eight histone proteins. Between nucleosomes is a stretch of DNA called "linker DNA". A nucleosome contains 8 different types of histones. In a nucleosome, DNA is wrapped 4 times around the histone core. H1 seals off where DNA enters and leaves the nucleosome. Nucleosomes contribute to DNA packing. Nucleosomes in chromatin are arranged in straight, side-by-side chains. Nucleosomes are about 10000 Angstroms in diameter. Histones have tails that stick out and can be modified, affecting DNA expression.

Answer:

The correct answers are "The DNA in a nucleosome is wound around eight histone proteins", "Between nucleosomes is a stretch of DNA called "linker DNA", "H1 seals off where DNA enters and leaves the nucleosome", "Nucleosomes contribute to DNA packing", and "Histones have tails that stick out and can be modified, affecting DNA expression".

Explanation:

Nucleosomes are comprised of DNA and histones that in conjunction form structural units of the chromosomes. The DNA in a nucleosome is wound around eight histone proteins, which are known as the histone octamer.  Between nucleosomes is a stretch of DNA called "linker DNA", which is an unwrapped DNA that can be between 10 to 50 base pairs long. H1, one of the four types of histone, seals off where DNA enters and leaves the nucleosome serving as an anchor to the complex. Nucleosomes contribute to DNA packing by wrapping the DNA and forming the structural units of the chromosomes.  Histones have tails that stick out and can be modified, affecting DNA expression; which are known as "histone tails" located in the N-terminal side and where higher order structures are arranged.

What path does pollen need to travel for the plant to reproduce?.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

stigma

Explanation:

Pollination occurs when pollen grains from the anther land on a stigma. After pollen grains land on the stigma, a pollen tube grows from the pollen grain, through the style, and into the ovary. Sperm cells inside the pollen grain travel down the pollen tube and into the ovary which contains the ovules.

For cvd prevention, trans fat in the diet should account for less than ____ percent of calories. ​5
Serhud [2]

trans fats can be reduced to less than 1 percent of calories

Reduction in the consumption of trans fats can reduce blood cholesterol and these will consequently lower the risk of coronary heart diseases. Thus, food made from animals such as milk and meat products contain small quantities of Trans fats. However, trans fats can be reduced to less than 1 percent of calories to avoid build of plagues in the arteries called atherosclerosis.

disa [49]

Answer:

The original phagocyte secretes cytokines that attract other phagocytes

Explanation:

Before phagocytosis occurs and with the presence of an original phagocyte at the scratch site mostly a macrophage (also a phagocyte), chemical signals signals are given off to attract phagocytes to the scratch site.

These chemical signals may be cytokines that are given off by macrophages located in the tissue near the infection site etc. These cytokines produced can then stimulate the recruitment of phagocytes including the neutrophils and monocytes from the blood.
