Answer

          When a eukaryotic cell is not undergoing mitosis, the DNA and its associated proteins appear as a visible network of dark fibers called the Chromatin.

Definition

               Chromatin is a thread like structure that can be seen inside nucleus before cell division. It is a complex of DNA and histone proteins.  

Forms of chromatin

                    Chromatin exist in two forms, that is  

a. Euchromatin

                     It is less condensed and can be easily transcribed.

b. Heterochromatin

                     It is highly condensed and not transcribed as easy.  

Organization of chromatin

                    Microscopy has shown the appearance of chromatin as beads on a string. The beads are called nucleosomes.  

Nucleosome

                    Each nucleosome is composed of DNA wrapped around eight histone proteins. The nucleosome is then wrapped into a 30nm spiral called solenoid.

The species that is known as a robin in England has a yellow breast, and another species that is known as a robin in the United
Mamont248 [21]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C. Different species can share the same common name.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Different organisms can share the same common name</u></em>, and thus the reason why scientists avoid using common naming while naming organisms.
  • Additionally, s<em><u>cientists avoid using common names because they are not specific to a specific species.</u></em> For instance, Robin is a common word that may be used to describe the many species of robin that are found in different regions of the earth, for example, Robin in England which has yellow breast, and robin in United states and have red breasts.
  • Therefore, <em><u>for the purpose of avoiding ambiguity and confusion in naming organisms scientists use scientific names while identifying various species.</u></em>

How are genes cloned
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:Gene cloning is the process in which a gene of interest is located and copied (cloned) out of DNA extracted from an organism. When DNA is extracted from an organism, all of its genes are extracted at one time. ... The genetic engineer must find the one specific gene that encodes the specific protein of interest.

8. Why does moving up in the atmosphere typically cause air to lose its water vapor?
kkurt [141]
Clouds are tiny droplets of liquid water or small ice crystals. ... Because air is cooler at higher altitude in the troposphere, water vapor cools as it rises high in the atmosphere and transforms into water droplets by a process called condensation. The water droplets that form make up clouds.

Describe how you could use a globe and your hand to model the path of a global convection current in the atmosphere.
mash [69]

Answer and Explanation:

The process of transmission of heat due to the movement of molecules in the fluid is called convection. Convection also takes place on a global scale. At the equator, warm and less dense air tends to flow and rise towards the poles. Then denser, cooler air sinks and flow back towards the poles. Due to the rotation of earth rising warm air from the poles does not make it all the mode towards the pole. The combination of the earth’s rotation and global convection makes a series of wind patterns known as convection cells. The earth's rotation also alters the airflow pathway, which causes the wind’s path to be curved as it travels between the equator and poles. In the southern hemisphere, winds turn to the left and move anticlockwise around a high-pressure centre, while in the northern hemisphere, winds turn to the right and move clockwise around a high-pressure centre. The twisting of air currents, due to the rotation of the earth is termed as Coriolis effect. Due to this effect, winds turn to the left in the southern hemisphere. In the northern hemisphere, winds turn to the right.
