The gas pedal opens the throttle. This supplies air to the engine and fuel is metered into the air stream to provide a combustible mixture to the engine. If the throttle is close, I.e., you lift you foot, this process stops and the engine slows to an idle setting where enough fuel is provided to keep the engine turning over but not to move the car at any significant speed. When your cruising at a steady speed, even on a flat road, the engine turns over faster and requires enough fuel so that air resistance are overcome as well as internal friction losses in the engine.

Loose or uncoiled chromosomes are actually dna in the form of
vichka [17]
I believe that the Loose uncoiled chromosomes are actually DNA in the form of Chromatin. Genes are made up of chromosomes and direct the formation of a specific characteristic DNA and genes are the same thing. Chromosomes contain 100 to 100 of genes in one very long strand of DNA. The DNA is coiled around proteins that are called histones. The DNA seems to form a bigger part of the chromosome than the histone and since the DNA consists of genes, then half of the chromosomes is genes.
