What are the chromosomes called when they look like Xs​
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

I think you're referring to the Metaphase...

Explanation:

During Cell Division (or, rather before!) the DNA needs to be replicated. This normally is done by DNA Polymerase, and results in two identical double strands (the "Sister Chromatids".

These chromatids are held together at the Centromere, which will be the heart of the "X"-shape. After that the DNA is packed into Chromosomes by winding it around proteins called Histones. If I remember correctly there are 5 different Histones.

This "Zipping Up" makes the chromosomes more visible.

As the two sister chromatids are still connected, the result is the X-shaped Metaphase Chromosome....

8. Now figure out how many sheets of graph paper you would have to use to list all the bases in a gene of 90,000 bases (not far
Oksana_A [137]

Now it is clear that genes are what carry our traits through generations and that genes are made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). But genes themselves don't do the actual work. Rather, they serve as instruction books for making functional molecules such as ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins, which perform the chemical reactions in our bodies.Proteins do many other things, too. They provide the body's main building materials, forming the cell's architecture and structural components. But one thing proteins can't do is make copies of themselves. When a cell needs more proteins, it uses the manufacturing instructions coded in DNA.The DNA code of a gene—the sequence of its individual DNA building blocks, labeled A (adenine), T (thymine), C (cytosine) and G (guanine) and collectively called nucleotides— spells out the exact order of a protein's building blocks, amino acids.

Occasionally, there is a kind of typographical error in a gene's DNA sequence. This mistake— which can be a change, gap or duplication—is called a mutation.

Which of the following is not true of exothermic reactions?
andriy [413]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option B is correct.

B. In an exothermic reaction, excess energy is released as heat.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy by light or heat. It is the opposite of an endothermic reaction. Expressed in a chemical equation: reactants → products + energy. Exothermic Reaction means "exo" meaning releases and "thermic" means heat.
