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.

Instructions: 1 Using the DNA sequence, make a complementary RNA strand from both the human and the cow. Write the RNA directly
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Please find the complete table attached as an image

Explanation:

This task is describing the processes of transcription and translation, which are the two processes involved in gene expression. The DNA of a human and cow is given in the table of the attached image and we're asked to transcribe into a complementary RNA, and subsequently translate into an amino acid using the CODON table (genetic code).

- Transcription is the process whereby DNA is used as a template for the synthesis of RNA based on complementary base pairing i.e. A-U, G-C, T-A etc.

- Translation is the process whereby RNA transcript is used to synthesize an amino acid sequence. The mRNA is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON, where each of this codon specifies an amino acid.

The table has been completed and attached below. Note that in the amino acids row;

GLY means Glycine

ILE means Isoleucine

VAL means Valine

GLN means Glutamine

CYS means Cysteine

THR means Threonine

SER means Serine

PHE means Phenylalanine

ALA means Alanine

LEU means Leucine
