A diploid nucleus of Drosophila melanogaster contains about 3.4 x 108 nucleotide pairs. Assume (1) that all nuclear DNA is packa

ged into nucleosomes and (2) that an average internucleosomal linker size is 60 nucleotide pairs. How many nucleosomes would be present in a diploid nucleus of this species and how many molecules of Histone H2a, H2b, H3 and H4 are required?

Answer:

nucleosomes = 1.65 x 10^6

H2a = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

H2b = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

H3 = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

H4 = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

Explanation:

It was mentioned in the book Principles of Genetics  By D. Peter Snustad, Michael J. Simmons that in the nucleus of <em>D. melanogaster </em>there will be 1.65 x 10^6 nucleosomes and 3.3 x 10^6 molecules of every type of histone i.e. H2a, H2b, H3, and H4 present in it.

Juliette [100K]

Answer: Both the mouse and human beings are encoding the proteins having similar functions.

Explanation:

The CFTR gene in the mouse and CFTR gene in the human beings encode proteins that perform similar function,this is so because if the results are same then it means that both mouse and human beings are encoding the protein that have similar function.

Option A is incorrect  because both humans and mouse are eukaryotes so they have introns and because of that even if the gene sequences are different they can still encode protein.

Option B is incorrect because  amino acid sequences can be similar inorder to have the similar function. If glutamic acid is replaced by aspartic acid, it won't have different function the function will remain same. So, identical amino acid sequences are not required. They can be similar too.

Answer:

faced a struggle for survival

Explanation:

The woolly mammoths became extinct, unlike the other species, because the woolly mammoths faced a struggle for survival due to changing of environmental conditions. Global warming is the main cause of extinction of woolly mammoth which destroy their habitats about 10,500 years ago. The environmental conditions are not favourable for them so they faced struggle for survival which causes extinction of woolly mammoth.
