Answer:

Positively charged ions

Explanation:

Histones are a group of proteins with a N-terminal end of an amino acid, that binds to the DNA in the nucleus helping it to condense into Chromatin. DNA wraps around a core of proteins to initially form the NUCLEOSO ME structure, which is the basic subunit of Chromatin. Each nucleosome is made up of DNA coiled around two copies (2) of proteins- H2A, H2B, H3 and H4, to form a set of eight proteins called histone octamer.

Due to the phosphate group (PO4-) embedded in the DNA molecule, they assume a negative charge. The positively charged ions of the N(C) terminal end of histones which arise from the amino acid group they contain allows it to bind tightly to negatively charged DNA i.e. the more positively and negatively charged the histone and DNA are respectively, the tighter the binding.

Due to this property, the proteins that binds to DNA in E.coli, should possess a positive charge in similarity to histones in eukaryotes.

An example of an adaptation to prevent water loss in plants is
Masja [62]
One example can be the needle shaped leaves.

In desert areas, there are not much water sources. So basically, any drop of water is precious. To help prevent water loss of plants, for example cactus has very thin leaves that are needle shaped. Or some even don't have any leaves. This can reduce the surface area of leaves and thus reduce the water evaporating to the outer environment.

Another example also shown on cactus is that they have very thick waxy cuticle. It can also prevent water from evaporating from the stem. So that's why you see the stem is very shinny.

How does protist fission differ from bacterial fission?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The bacterial fission occurs by the following method:

The DNA replicates. The replicated DNA is copied and it moves to the opposite sides of the cell. The length of the parent cell increases. The cell divides from the center with distribution of equal amount of DNA. After this, the cell wall is formed.

In protist fission: In protist fission, the nucleus of the parent cell divides many times. After this cytoplasm separates and forms around the daughter nuclei.
