Answer:

Chromosomes are systemized structures of proteins and DNA. It have a string like shape, mainly located within the nucleus of both plant and animal cells. DNA is concentrated in the chromosomes. In 1902, Sutton and Boveri proposed that chromosomes has a part in heredity opposing Mendel's theory of segregation and independent assortment.

One major function of the chromosome is to keep the DNA from being altered or negatively influenced during cell division. It ensures accurate distribution of the DNA during the breaking down of genetic material. In mitosis, the chromosomes are duplicated and dispersed to daughter cells so that each cell attains a diploid set of chromosomes totally of the same nature to that of its parent cell. In meiosis, the resultant cells would attain a chromosome from each chromosome pair this will lead to half the number of chromosomes. This process is important for the offspring being produced to have the same characteristics of the parents which would results from the fusion of the sperm and egg of the parents.

Answer:

Structure.

Chromosomes is a microscopic,organized structure of sequence of protein and DNA located in the Nucleus of Cells of all living organisms.it exists as single DNA structure coiled in form, with specific sequnce of Amino Acids called GENES; some REGULATORY ELEMENTS;(region of non coding DNA which regulate transcriptions of neighboring genes example Cis-regulatory elements.)NUECLOTIDE SEQUNCE and ;DNA BOUNDING PROTEINS e.g transcription factors :Nucleases,polymerase for cleaving DNA molecules and Histones for

Chromosomes packaging and transcription.

FUNCTIONS

Chromosomes are carrier of genetic information from one generation to another. from parents to offisprings During cell division(mitosis and meisos):the DNA in iinduvidual parent cells are coiled up and bounded as chromatin by binding to histones complexes form chromosomes .This is genetic information transferd from the parents to daughter cells during ferlizationThus chromosomes is the genetic information carrier .

Thus in literal sense the chromosomes is the ENVELOPE AND LETTER OR MESSAGE INSIDE IS THE DNA.

Antibiotic resistance happens when an antibiotic lost its ability in controlling or killing bacterial growth. At this moment the bacteria are already resistant to the antibiotic and are multiplying even though the drug is present. This is a natural phenomenon.

When you breathe, the pressure inside the lungs is different than the pressure outside the lungs. this is an example of a(n)?
goblinko [34]

The pressure inside your lungs and the pressure outside them fluctuate as you breathe. An illustration of a pressure gradient is this.

<h3>What is an example of pressure gradient?</h3>
  • The pressure gradient is the amount by which the atmospheric pressure drops in a location at a particular time.
  • A pressure gradient is demonstrated by gale-force winds in one city changing to a moderate breeze after an hour. the rate of the pressure in space decreasing (gradient) at a specific period.
<h3>How does pulmonary ventilation change with pressure gradient?</h3>

Thoracic ventilation Because air moves down a pressure gradient, or from an area of greater pressure to an area of lower pressure, the difference in pressures is what drives pulmonary ventilation.

When breathing in and out, the respiratory airways restrict the flow of air. The air must be transported by the pressure gradient from the mount (or nose) to the pulmonary alveoli.

Compared to bacteria cells,viruses are
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Viruses have to invade the body of a host organism in order to replicate their particles. Therefore, most viruses are pathogenic. The main difference between bacteria and virus is that bacteria are living cells, reproducing independently and viruses are nonliving particles, requiring a host cell for their replication.

hope this helps :)
