If you lined up TMV ( tobacco mosaic virus) particles end to end, how many would fit along the length of the same paperclip? the

Answer:

100,000 TMV

Explanation:

Length of one TMV is 300nm. Length of paper clip is 3.0cm. First step is to convert either value to match the units of other.

So 3.0cm to nm is 3.0 * 10^7 = 30,000,000nm

SO now it becomes simple because we just divide the total length by length of TMV to find number of particles that can fit:

30,000,000/300 = 100,000 TMV

Answer:

Crossing-over between homologous chromosomes (prophase 1), the random lining of homologous chromosomes (metaphase 1), and random fertilization are the mechanisms involved in genetic variation.

Explanation:

Crossing-over between homologous chromosomes (prophase 1), the random lining of homologous chromosomes (metaphase 1), and random fertilization are the mechanisms involved in genetic variation.

The Crossing-over events occur between two homologous chromosomes in the equatorial plane and make the daughter cells genetically different from the original one. The Chiasma is the position where two homologous chromatids interchange genetic information, giving a place for new genetic material or information to be provided to descendants. After crossing over, homologous chromosomes get separated again.  

On the equatorial plane, homologous paired together, randomly aline with their kinetochores facing opposite poles. The random arrangement of tetrads is different in every cell going through the meiosis process. There is no equal alinement between two cells. When tetrads aline in the equatorial plane, there is no predetermined order for each of the homologous chromosomes of each tetrad to face one of the poles and then migrate to it while separating.  Chromosomes of the homologous pair arrange to face any of the poles to migrate forward to it. Each of the chromosomes has two possibilities for orientation at the plane. When the new haploid cells are formed, the number of variations in each cell is also different and depends on the chromosomes that form that cell. The order in the equatorial plane is what introduces variation into the gametes, being almost impossible for two gametes to have the same genetic charge.  

Independent assortment occurs when the alleles from two or more different genes distribute in gametes independently from each other. In other words, a gamete receives an allele from a gene that does not depend on nor influence the allele of another gene in the same gamete. This can only be applied to independent genes. An organism gets only one of the members of the chromatids pair of each parent.

HELP PLEASE

Answer:

I can’t answer all of them, but I’ll answer the oxygen ones.

The mitochondria uses oxygen. In mitochondria, this process uses oxygen as a waste product. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell.

I hope this helps, even though I only answered 3 of your questions!!

2. A man with type B blood mamies a woman with type A blood. Their first child has type o blood. The couple says this is
Arisa [49]

Blood types:

AB +

AB -

A +

A -

B +

B -

O +

O -

It is possible to have a child with O blood despite the parents having different blood types.

While the man tested for B blood, he could have been a combination between type o and B whereas, the woman was a combination of type A and o. Since A/B are dominant, they would 'stand out' contrarily to o.

This means that their children could have AB or O blood.

According to biochemist sidney fox, once amino acids formed in the oceans, they may have collected in small pools to form small
Blizzard [7]

Formed tiny polypeptides known as Proteinoids when they gathered in little pools.

<h3>What is a polypeptide and how does it work?</h3>

Polypeptides. By joining many amino acids together, polypeptides contribute to the creation of proteins. When two or more polypeptides are joined together to form a protein, the resulting structure is unique to that protein.

<h3>What conclusions did Sidney Fox's experiment reach?</h3>

In the 1950s, Sidney Fox demonstrated that when amino acids were splashed in hot, dry circumstances, they immediately polymerized into proteins. Other studies that used cyanide, clays, and heat to cause the polymerization of amino acids into proteins were effective.
