8 0

A phospholipid is that type of lipid molecule which is known as the main component of cell membrane.  

Explanation:

Phospholipid is made up with two fatty acid tails as well as head group of phosphate. It is made with long based chains which is made up of with hydrogen and carbon.

It consists with phosphorus molecule with attachment of four oxygen. These component of phospholipid is connected through third molecule glycerol. It is able to form a cell membrane.

Early in genetic research, it was suggested that the genetic code might be made up of overlapping codons in which the last two b
yuradex [85]

The genetic code is called non-overlapping because adjacent codons can not overlap, whereas in this case, the code is overlapping.

<h3>What does 'overlapping code' mean?</h3>

The genetic code does not overlap because the same nucleotide in the sequence cannot be used to encode two different codons.

In genetics, overlapping refers to a feature of the genetic code associated with how this nucleotide code is read.

In conclusion, the genetic code in this case is overlapping.

You perform an experiment in which chromatin is isolated from sea urchin sperm cells and briefly digested with micrococcal nucle
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

a) DNA fragments associated with histone proteins are all multiple in length (i.e., 260 bp, 520 bp, 780 bp, etc), thereby suggesting the presence of a pattern of organization in the chromatin  

b) it suggests that each unit of organization (ie, each nucleosome) consists of 260 bp associated with chromatin proteins

Explanation:

The nucleosome is considered as the basic unit of chromatin. A nucleosome consists of approximately two turns of DNA wrapped around a core of eight histone proteins (i.e., a histone octamer). The histone octamer consists of two copies of each of the histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Moreover, the nucleosomes are connected together by linker DNA sequences which vary between 10 and 100 bp in length.
