A haploid human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs. If the distance between each base pair is 0.34 nm (a nanometer is one b

illionth of a meter), in a cell that has just completed replication in S phase, what is the length of DNA in this cell, in meters, if all the chromosomes were strung together?

Answer:

The answer is 6.8 meters.

Explanation:

During the S phase of the cell replication, the DNA is doubled before the division of the cell which means that it is twice it's original length.

At 0.34 nanometers, 3 billion base pairs (3.000.000.000) comes up to 3.4 meters and during the S phase the length is doubled so it is 6.8 meters long.

I hope this answer helps.

The various parts of the endomembrane system serve different functions in the cell. In this activity, you will identify the role
Viktor [21]

Answer:

A) Lipid synthesis : Smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

B) Calcium ion storage : Smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

C) Poison detoxification : Smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

D) Protien synthesis : Rough endoplasmic reticulum.

E) Protien modification and sorting : Golgi apparatus

F) Cisternal maturation : Golgi apparatus.

G) Macromolecule digestion : Lysosomes

H) Autophagy : Lysosome.

Explanation:

<u>Smooth endoplasmic reticulum</u> is involved in the synthesis and storage of lipids . It also stores the calcium ions and contain enzymes responsible for the detoxification of the poisonous substances like CCL4 and other agents. SO the answer of A , B  and C is Smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

<u>Rough endoplasmic reticulum</u> contains ribosomes which synthesize protiens thus answer of D is RER.

The <u>Golgi apparatus</u> functions as a factory in which the protiens recieved from the endoplasmic reticulum are modified and sorted and is also involved in cysternal maturation so answer of option E and F is Golgi apparatus.

<u>Lysosomes</u> are the part of endomembrane system involved in the digestion of the macromolecules and in the recycling of the worn-out organelles hence also involved in autophagy. Hence answers of G and H is lysosomes.
