Answer: The stroma

Explanation:

The Calvin cycle consists of a series of biochemical reactions that take place in photosynthetic organisms, such as plants. CO2 binds to an organic molecule, before its reduction by the action of NADPH, in a cyclic process that leads to glucose synthesis.

In plants, carbon dioxide enters the leaves through pores called stomas and diffuses into the chloroplast, the site where the reactions of photosyntesis occur, and where sugar is synthesized.

The reactions of the Calvin cycle are responsible for the fixation of CO2 by incorporating it into the individual's organic matter in the form of glucose through the enzyme RuBisCo. This process is stimulated by the ATP and NADPH that come from the luminous reactions, and depends on them. However, these reactions are also called light-independent reactions, because light does not cause them directly.

Unlike light-dependent reactions, which occur in the tilacoidal membrane, these reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma, which is the inner space of chloroplasts.

1) How is DNA condensed to form a chromosome?

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Hello! Here are the answers:

Chromosomes are a highly condensed form of a combination of DNA and protein called chromatin. DNA strands (negatively charged) are tightly wound around these proteins called histones (positively charged) to form chromosomes.
Mechanism genes code for for proteins that govern life processes. These genes or portions of DNA are called exons. DNA segments between these exons are called introns that strictly code for regulatory proteins and also contain genetic regulatory elements (DNA sequences that control gene expression).
Gene expression is the process of translation of DNA sequences into proteins. The genetic code is the nucleotide sequence in the DNA itself that codes for different amino acids that combine together to form a functional protein.

Explanation:

* 2. The intronic regions are misleadingly referred to as "junk DNA" but introns code for crucial regulatory elements that control gene expression.

* 3. The genetic code determines the sequence of amino acids in various proteins.

B) Frost

Frost is a thin layer of ice on a solid surface, which forms from water vapor in an above freezing atmosphere coming in contact with a solid surface whose temperature is below freezing, and resulting in a phase change from water vapor to ice as the water vapor reaches the freezing point.

Which of the following may not have been possible without the presence of ozone in the atmosphere?

Basile [38]

Answer: Option A) Oxygen may not have been able to accumulate in the atmosphere

Explanation:

Ozone, O3, is an allotrope of oxygen having three atoms in the molecule instead of the usual two present in molecular oxygen. Ozone is generated from oxygen, and is the only form in which oxygen can exist in the atmosphere.
