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.

When the neuron is at rest, what is primarily responsible for moving potassium ions OUT of the cell?
ruslelena [56]

When the neuron is at rest, what is primarily responsible for moving potassium ions OUT of the cell?

a concentration gradient

an electrical gradient

both a concentration gradient and an electrical gradient

the sodium-potassium pump

Answer:

a concentration gradient

Explanation:

At rest, the sodium-potassium pumps pump the two potassium ions into the cell for three Na ions moved out of the cell. This creates a higher potassium concentration gradient inside the cell. This concentration gradient moves the K+ out of the cell. Movement of positively charged K+ out of the cells make the inside of the membrane negative with respect to the outside. This is how the negative resting potential is maintained when neurons are nor firing the action potential.
