Answer:

B. Nucleosomes

Explanation:

Chromatin is made up of certain repeating units called nucleosomes. Each nucleosome has a stretch of DNA that is wound around a complex of eight histone molecules. The eight histone molecules together make histone octamer. A DNA of 146 base pairs is wrapped around this scaffold made up of histone molecules.

A stretch of DNA called linker DNA joins the adjacent nucleosomes together. The DNA wound around the histone scaffold appears as a beadlike structure. One nucleosome scaffold has two copies of each of four different histone types. These are called H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Histone H1 is joined to the linker DNA.

According to weber's law, the size of _____ is a constant proportion of the size of the initial stimulus. question 1 options: 1)
Damm [24]

According to Weber's law, the size of a just noticeable difference or difference is a constant proportion of the size of the initial stimulus.

Explanation: Weber’s law is a principle that describes that for two stimuli to be perceived as different, the stimuli should differ by a minimum constant percentage and not by a constant amount.

For example: in a noisy room it is required to shout in order to be heard in contrast a whisper can be heard in quiet room. For us to be aware consciously 50% of the time the minimum stimulation required for any stimuli.

The absolute threshold for difference between the two stimuli of any individual may vary and depends on the strength of the signal apart from the experience, alertness, expectation and motivation.

The individual’s difference threshold also known as just noticeable difference is the difference between two stimuli half of the time that we can distinguish.

What is the main difference between a taproot and a fibrous root?
anastassius [24]
Fibrous roots grow from the main stem of the plant and does not have a primary root like the taproot. They grow downward and outward, with repeating branches to form a mass of small roots.Dicots and monocots are the two classes of flowering plants. The majority of taproot systems are composed of dicots and conifers.

What are the four biological compounds in living things?
sergejj [24]
There are more than simply 4 biological compounds in the human body. I suppose to categorise, the question is hinting towards the molecules like Carbohydrates ( Poly and mono saccharides ) Proteins ( Polypeptides Made of amino acids) and Fats. There is also water, but I'm hesitant to class that as a biological compound, as it's not organic.

How might the increase of volcanic eruptions affect Earth?
vodka [1.7K]
If enough ejecta (mainly ash) is sent into the upper atmosphere, the dust particles will block solar energy causing a decrease in temperature. This has happened in the past. Look for the year without summer caused by a volcanic eruption.
