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.

Breathing heavily after you have finished running a race is your body way of
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Breathing heavily after you have finished running a race is your body way of repaying an oxygen debt.

Explanation:

Any kind of exercise that is performed makes our muscles work harder. As a result, more calories get burned by these muscles. To burn the extra calories, more supply of oxygen is required by the muscles. As you exercise harder, the breathing increases and become heavier to bring more oxygen to the lungs. From the lungs, the oxygen is carried to the muscles which are burning more calories.

You breathe heavily at the end of a race to get enough supply of oxygen.
