Describe how species are named scientifically

Biology

slega [8]3 years ago

Species are named scientifically using the method termed as the "Binomial Naming System".

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Scientists follow a "set of rules to name plants and animals" and they are known as the "binomial naming system".
  • "Binomial" means "made up of two words" and it describes the genus and the species of the organism.
  • The "first word" is the "genus", which is capitalized and the "second word" is the "species" which is not capitalized.
  • Genus is the "name of small groups" of "closely interacted organisms" and species is used to identify the particular species in that same genus.
  • For example, the "scientific name" for humans is "Homo sapiens", where Homo is the genus which is capitalized and sapiens is the species.
  • The abbreviation for this group is H. sapiens.

Typically, acetylation of histone tails leads to ________. Typically, acetylation of histone tails leads to ________. relaxed pa
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

relaxed packaging of the chromatin and increased transcription.

Explanation:

Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

A nucleotide can be defined as an organic molecule which forms the building block of nucleic acid such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Basically, nucleotide comprises of the following parts;

1. Nitrogenous base: this includes adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C) which are mainly found in the DNA while adenine (A), guanine (G), uracil (U) and cytosine (C) are found in the RNA.

2. A phosphate group.

3. A penrose sugar: it is either deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA.

The two parts or chemical components of a nucleotide which do not change throughout the structure of DNA are;

I. Five-Carbon Sugar also known as deoxyribose and it has hydrogen on its second carbon.

II. Phosphate: this is the structural backbone that provides support to DNA.

Histones are a group of highly basic proteins that are mainly associated with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the nucleus of a living organism and are responsible for condensing it to chromatin.

Typically, acetylation of histone tails leads to relaxed packaging of the chromatin and increased transcription.

Transcription can be defined as a process which typically involves re-writing the informations contained within a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) into a Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) by enzyme RNA polymerase.
